Except for the last line, if this had been published with the MSM as the source instead of Scrappleface, I would never have know it was satire.

I guess it depends on what "is" is?

In related news, the U.S. House today begins debate on creation of a month-long holiday called 'World Without Islamofascism.'

President George Bush said he looks forward to celebrating the new holiday with a ceremonial "wiping of the map."

*****
So let it be written!
So let it be done!

[ariamne]

True, but in this case it is all too believable!

Once again, life overtakes satire:

Despite Leader's Harsh Words, Iran Is No Danger to Israel

'Wiped' is a word that can denote cleanliness," said Mr. Annan

LOL! I could hear Kofi saying these very words, it's not a stretch at all. Except I would expect him to get significant bribes first before he said it.

[Buffettfan]

Time for the UN to find a new home. They are a wothless corrupt POS anti-American and anti-Isreali joke.

"Next time please indicate "satire" in your post."

But that would take away the fun of watching reactionaries make fools of themselves.

How are you Ari? Thanks for the PING.

This is satire, and VERY close to the truth...sadly this is not:

The Iranian president maintains his remarks on Israel TEHERAN - the Iranian president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, maintained Friday his remarks inviting "to strip Israel off the chart" and challenged the wave of indignation which they caused in Occident (sic), affirming that its declarations were "correct and right".

"They are free of speaking but their words do not have any validity. It is obvious that if a word is correct and right it will cause a reaction ", said president Ahmadinejad, quoted by the official agency Irna.

"My words are the exact words of the Iranian people", it affirmed.

Irna indicated that Mr. Ahmadinejad then criticized "the international Zionism and the expansionist policy of the world arrogance", terms which indicate usually the United States and Israel.

"They are shameless beings, and they think that the whole world should obey to them", said the Iranian president. "They destroy Palestinian families and expect that nobody opposes them".

Seems he wants to be the new Saddam in the ME. Thinks he can be provocative. That's not how it works. He will get what's coming to him but not until it suits us.

This is a joke right?

[NormB]

When it is not funny, "satire" would at least tell the reader that it is supposed to be a joke.
