Creators Syndicate - Increasingly frustrated by the Iraqi government's failure to meet a series of defined benchmarks, President George W. Bush today proposed sending a group of giant robots known as the Transformers™ to Iraq.

Aides to the president were vague as to when Mr. Bush arrived at his new Transformers™ strategy, but sources say that he devised the plan last week, shortly after a surprise visit to a multiplex in Bethesda, Md.

"I'd like to see what would happen if al-Qaeda tried to attack one of our tanks, and instead the tank got up on its legs and turned out to be a robot and started shooting at them," Mr. Bush said. "That would be so cool."

----

"A tank that can turn into a giant robot is awesome, but it's not an exit strategy," said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV).

Elsewhere, China announced plans to send a new brand of rat poison to the United States under the name "Delicious Cupcakes."

1. Headline could actually be true

many many firms did defense work on the side. Harley-Davidson did for many years as has others. Generally its manufacurting something that is within the company's expertise. There are lots of molded plastic parts needed by the US military, so Hasbro could well be a supplier.

2. Yes, it could be true.

I have a friend that works for a 'contracted by the Pentagon' software company
that normally does gaming work.
Just thought it was a good humor bit. The rrrove thing is dominating the board.
