CONDI ADOPTS AFRICAN ORPHANS, TO SEND THEM TO IRAQ
Stung by recent criticism from Sen. Barbara Boxer that she has no immediate family members serving in Iraq, and therefore no personal stake in the war, Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice has made a dramatic move to remedy this situation: adopting African orphans … and sending them to fight in Iraq.

Although most of the orphans would be well below draft age, and barely able to carry a gun, Rice emphasized that young people mature earlier and take on more significant responsibilities in African cultures.

“Just look at some of those radical Islamist militias in Somalia,” Rice pointed out. “Many of their members carry blankies and AK-47s at the same time.”

1. Will Condi be using EXXON Super Tankers as slave ships to
...transport the African orphans? Satire yes, but also dangerously close to the mind set of this administration.
