From The Onion

WASHINGTON, DC—In an internationally televised statement Monday, President Bush modified a July 2003 challenge to Iraqi militants attacking U.S. forces. "Terrorists, Saddam loyalists, and anti-American insurgents: Please stop bringing it on now," Bush said at a Monday press conference. "Nine months and 500 U.S. casualties ago, I may have invited y'all to bring it on, but as of today, I formally rescind that statement. I would officially like for you to step back." The president added that the "it" Iraqis should stop bringing includes gunfire, bombings, grenade attacks, and suicide missions of all types

I saw it on CNN. Why is Bush joking about such things?

The Onion is a weekly online satire site. Pres. Bush didn't actually say that.

I am sure he is thinking it....

I was kidding. :D

I can imagine CNN making a reference to the Onion piece (though I didn't see it). Fox runs things like that frequently, only with the opposing slant.

"What a retard." ... an interesting quote, as this thread has developed.

I. for one was unaware of The Onion, and made an idiot of myself here, again!
It's a tribute to the quality of their satire that many probably are taken in. Too close to the bone!
Do they have a website?
:D :rolleyes:
