RABAT, D.C., Morocco, March 24 (UPI) -- A Moroccan publication accused the government Monday of providing unusual assistance to U.S. troops fighting in Iraq by offering them 2,000 monkeys trained in detonating land mines.

The weekly al-Usbu' al-Siyassi reported that Morocco offered the U.S. forces a large number of monkeys, some from Morocco's Atlas Mountains and others imported, to use them for detonating land mines planted by the Iraqis.

The publication quoted a highly-informed source as saying, "that is not a scientific illusion but a well-known military tactic."

OMG that is the coolest thing I've ever read.  Hopefully they will "embed" one of those CNN schmucks with the monkeys.

It's really sad. I feel bad for the monkeys....

But there is something undeniably funny about the mental image of a monkey detonating a land mine.

I feel so awful laughing at this....but it is funny.
