UK: The Killer Badgers in Iraq Aren’t Ours

Finally, a statement by the British government about Iraq that doesn’t strain credulity:

British forces have denied rumours that they released a plague of ferocious badgers into the Iraqi city of Basra.

Word spread among the populace that UK troops had introduced strange man-eating, bear-like beasts into the area to sow panic.

But several of the creatures, caught and killed by local farmers, have been identified by experts as honey badgers.

The rumours spread because the animals had appeared near the British base at Basra airport.

UK military spokesman Major Mike Shearer said: “We can categorically state that we have not released man-eating badgers into the area.”

Do man-eating badgers qualify as WMDs?

I can already envision the massive roundup of NAZI raccoons in the Bavarian Alps or wherever the hell they are, feeding them crystal meth on the flight of the Triangle of Death, and then unloading the little suckers to run amok (amuck?) amongst the camel jockies/martyrs/Sunnis/Shites/whatever. Just think of the lust and tears of happiness streaming down the faces of the young fraulein as we herd those little four-legged wolly buggers down Bush Strasse in Salzburg. Given that these suckers are gonna be in… Read more »
