July 17, 2007 - Increasingly frustrated by the Iraqi government’s failure to meet a series of defined benchmarks, President George W. Bush today proposed sending a group of giant robots known as the Transformers™ to Iraq.

What about Harry's army?

Its my understanding he has prepped an army of his companions, and taught them most everything he knows... this would be a great asset against AQ and their dark lord. Especially helpful would be Hermione, Ron... and lets not forget Dudley!

He should consider sending Snake-Eyes, Duke, Gung-Ho, Roadblock, and Scarlett. Let’s just hope the Iraqis haven’t already hooked up with Cobra Commander.

How about these from the old "Robotech" series? An armed, fast motorcycle that converts to powered body armor?

Robotech was cool. I remember coming home from school and watching it every day.
