Several weeks ago, a satellite followed the suspicious activities of an older, slightly portly, American in Iraq. The man was observed removing something from under a construction trailer and heading across country toward the border of Iran. Upon reaching the border, he removed what appeared to be some papers from his sock, and stuffed them between two rocks. He then marked the place with a small white flag and returned to Baghdad. He boarded a plane and left the country. The plane bore the markings BCHC 4144. The FAA will not confirm the ownership of the plane.
Fortunately, the papers were intercepted before they could be picked up by the intended receiver. The following is the text of what turned out to be a letter:
Dear insurgents,
We wanted to thank you for helping us get back in power. We wanted you to know that your efforts will not go unrewarded. Already, we are letting our president know in no uncertain terms, how stupid we think he is. We have a number of non-binding resolutions pending. These ought to get his attention.
Through our control of most of the media, we have been able to convince many Americans that the cause in Iraq is lost. We have also been able to convince them that Iraq is not related to the so called "War on Terrorism". Most Americans are convinced that we can withdraw from Iraq and it will have no lasting consequences. We know that if we give you all that you have asked for, you will be grateful and there will be no more attacks on the US. We believe that we have convinced most Americans of this also.
You may have heard that Rush Limbaugh and FOX news are against you, and are trying to convince people of danger. Please do not worry. We are pretty sure that no one listens to them.
While it is probably not necessary to communicate our support to you directly...... we know you watch our news and follow our politics, we wanted to give you our personal assurances that if you can just hang in there, Americans will be out of Iraq soon and it will be all yours.
Please share this with your friends. We want them to know our good intentions.
Sincerely,
The Democrat Party and Chuck Hagel
note...there is some question about the meaning of the little white flag. It may have been left as a marker, but some have expressed the opinion that it has a double meaning known only to the intended receiver.
