Tactical Raid Of Guided Dragons On Rampage unleashed on Iraq


BAGHDAD, IRAQ (CNN) -- The White House today is releasing preliminary information on the T.R.O.G.D.O.R. (Tactical Raid Of Guided Dragons On Rampage) weapons and their role in the Shock and Awe campaign, unofficially dubbed "Operation: Baghdad Burnination".

Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, during a press conference, commented on the effectiveness of the T.R.O.G.D.O.R., stating that "...the burnination is meeting and exceeding our expectations."

There have been some troubles with the new weapons. From what our reporters embedded with US forces and located in Baghdad, the T.R.O.G.D.O.R. only appears in the NNNNIIIIIIGGGGHHHTTTT! The new weapons are also having some problems hitting targets that aren't thatch-roofed cottages or peasants.

The dragon anti tank system, being a toe operated, shoulder fired weapon, goes WHERE you keep it aimed. If this is indeed the dragon system, it is deadly accurate. I was certified on it, along with several other portable weapons systems. I cannot imagine it veering off to hit pedestrians and huts.

That's almost as funny as Optimus Prime heading out there with the troops...

Heh that one had my coworker confused. He kept asking what page I was trying to access, even with the H.R. guys all over the place.
