They were hiding BEER, not WEAPONS!

Just minutes after U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell played an audio tape of two members of Iraq's Republican Guard purportedly discussing removing weapons from a truck, the Guard members came forward to say they had been discussing beer, not weapons.

"I could understand why Secretary Powell would be all mad and everything if he thought we were talking about removing weapons from the truck," one of the Guard members said. "But the thing is, we weren't talking about weapons -- we were talking about empties."

According to the Iraqi, he and his friend were coming back to their base after a night of "getting polluted" on a twelve-pack of Old Milwaukee beer, a favorite of the Republican Guard.

"Before we got back to the base, I was like, dude, we better get rid of all of these empties or Saddam is gonna go biological on our asses," the Republican Guard member said.

"After I trashed my empties, my friend is like, 'Dude, I'm worried you have something left,' and I'm like, 'Dude, we evacuated everything,'" the Guard member said. "It was all about beer, man."

While the United States was openly skeptical of the Guards' account, the Iraqis' version of events drew strong praise from the President of France, Jacques Chirac, who called their story "courageous and charming."

In Paris, eager Anti-American protesters poured into the Champs d'Elysee to hail "Les Iraqi Beer Dudes" as international heroes.

Secretary Powell had no official comment, but a spokesman for Mr. Powell said that the Secretary of State was planning to spend the evening alone, hitting his head against a wall.

Old Milwaukee beer

From Consumer Reports:

Of the beers rated then and now, most did about the same. One exception was Old Milwaukee, tied for top domestic beer last time but lower in the pack this time. After our 1996 article, its brewer changed from Stroh's to Pabst. The new brew has a less intense flavor, with fewer of the fresh, floral, and fruity notes associated with better beers.

Present Ranking Among Domestic Lagers: 10th
