US Marines Called Upon For Paris Deployment...

Thursday, November 10, 2005 6:21 PM
President Bush May Send Up To 5 Marines For French Assistance

11/10/2005 - Shelby Trial



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



President Bush has authorized the Joint Chiefs to begin drawing up a battle plan to pull France's ass out of the fire again. Facing an apparent overwhelming force of up to 400 pissed off teenagers Mr. Bush doubts France's ability to hold off the little pissants. "Hell, if the last two world wars are any indication, I would expect France to surrender any day now," said Bush.

Joint Chiefs head, Gen. Peter Pace, warned the President that it might be necessary to send up to 5 Marines to get things under control. The general admitted that 5 Marines may be overkill but he wanted to get this thing under control within 24 hours of arriving on scene. He stated he was having a hard time finding even one Marine to help those ungrateful bastards out for a third time but thought that he could persuade a few Women Marines to do the job before they went on pregnancy leave.

President Bush asked Gen. Pace to get our Marines out of there as soon as possible after order was restored. He also reminded Gen. Pace to make sure the Marines did not take soap, razors, or deodorant with them. The least they stand out the better.

In an unrelated matter, President Bush told reporters that he was considering a "Flu for Oil" Program to ease our country's energy problem and prevent the upcoming pandemic. Nobody had a clue as to what the hell he was talking about.

This just in....

At the end of the night a Marine leaves a bar.

Outside he sees a nun. He walks over to her and slaps her in the face. Then he punches her in the stomach and knocks her over.

He proceeds to kick her several times and when he's done he bends down to her and says, "Not as tough as a Marine, are you Batman?"

The French Terrorists took today off. It is, after all, a French Holiday.

The celebration of the end of WW1. France lost that one too.

France lost WWI?

I guess our schools really are failing.

Well, you are right.

The PC version is that the French were overrun, occupied, and liberated by the Allies.

Ok, they didn't 'lose'. It only felt that way.

I bet these five Marines aren't asked to use rubber bullets either.

Didn't France recall the troops almost immediately? Can anyone clarify?

Yeah Randy, that's overkill. I think three women Marines would do the job more than adequately.

Ha Ha Ha - It funny because the French are smelly and surrender lots !!!1!1!!!

LOL!!! They were overrun and slaughtered by a superior German force that was rampaging through Europe - not just France!!! FUNNY STUFF!!!

Lets all laugh about it on the very day that most of the western world honours the war dead - Rememberance Day / Veterans Day ->THATS FUNNY TOO !!!

You guys are pretty much morons in my book.


I guess you all forget small things like this:

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2002/09/26/world/main523331.shtml

But, I guess that doesn't quite fit in with the increasing intolerance of a country that doesn't blindy follow you into a war....

thats nice andrew, and yes it was nice of the French to walk our kids home. remember though, there was no fighting for the French, they did not need to fight their way in or out, but still it was nice of them to come and get them.

buh-bye
