U.S. Invades Non-Oil-Rich Nation To Dispel Criticism (http://www.theonion.com/3937/)

LUXEMBOURG VILLE, LUXEMBOURG—In an effort to quiet criticism of U.S. military policy, 50,000 U.S. troops invaded and soundly defeated the non-oil-rich Grand Duchy of Luxembourg Monday. "Once again, the U.S. claims victory over a rogue nation," said President Bush after the 45-minute war. "The people of Luxembourg, although prosperous and living in peace, have suffered under the tyranny of a monarchy for centuries. And allow me to point out that Luxembourg has not one drop of crude oil." Troops will return home Friday, following the public hanging of Grand Duke Henri de Luxembourg.

"Bush always picks the countys with the biggest militarys to invade. "

 And you'd think they all would have learned a lesson after we kicked Panama and Granada's tulips in the 80's.



 Anyway.  Nothing better out there than the Onion.  What they write is Gods' honest truth even when it's made up ;)

I have made several emails and phone calls regarding this subject to the embassy of luxembourg, and it turns out it was sarcasim all along.
Yep one big joke. Lets call our congressmen and petition them to get this site taken off the internet.

I flew to Luxembourg on the Cocorde and saw no sign of invasion.  I'm beginning to doubt the editorial standards at The Onion.

As the 82nd Airborne floats to the ground behind the podium.

"There is no American invasion of Luxembourg! It is all lies and taped tactical exercises within the USA. The USA does not have the delivery method of bringing in those troops who jump from aircraft. Only the French and Germans are capable of moving troops in that fashion and they are loyal peace loving friends of Luxembourg!"
