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."

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.

You know, that's a pretty crappy deal.  With all of eternity to look forward to, Allay only provides you with about a year's worth of entertainment.

I wonder if the suicide bombers can get a refund?

That's a lie, all of it.

They've really trained the monkeys to work for Halliburton so that Halliburton doesn't have to pay for anything except bananas for it's workers- which is significantly cheaper than paying for health care, life insurance, safety policies and the worker's own pay.

This is just another way for Bush, Cheney and the rest of his  staff to get richer even quicker!!

NO WAR FOR MONKEYS!!!!!!!

Actually SW, you're almost right!

The bananas will be purchased from the Dole Company via a government contract and then given to the monkeys employed by Haliburton....hehe.
