RABAT, D.C., Morocco, March 24 (UPI) -- 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."

This is just the sort of thing that ends up with Charleton Heston on the beach screaming at the Statue of Liberty.

How do you "train" a monkey to detonate a land-mine? By the time the monkeys figure out how to make the thing work, they're not much use any more.

Dang! When I first read "Morocco offers US monkeys to detonate mine" I was hoping the US monkeys would be Daschole, Hitlery, and Teddy.

If you can train a monkey for the job why not use Michael Moore, Alec Baldwin, Martin Sheen, Babs Streisand and company?
