Morocco offers US monkeys to detonate land mines

RABAT, D.C., Morocco, Mar 24, 2003 (United Press International via COMTEX) -- A Moroccan publication accused the government Monday of providing unusual assistance to U.S. troops fighting in Iraq by offering them 2,000 monkeys trained in detonating land mines.

The weekly al-Usbu' al-Siyassi reported that Morocco offered the U.S. forces a large number of monkeys, some from Morocco's Atlas Mountains and others imported, to use them for detonating land mines planted by the Iraqis.

The publication quoted a highly-informed source as saying, "that is not a scientific illusion but a well-known military tactic."

Boy, you said it. To think a monkey should be sacrificed to save the lives of a bunch of worthless humans?...this is not a PETA moment!

Darn! I thought the title meant that Morocco was offering war protestors from the US for land mine duty.

To keep from offending Peta, we should round up the anti Americans pretending to be peace niks with Michael Moore and most of Follywood.

Then we can send then to Iraq to be our mine removers.

No use wasting an innocent monkey!
