'Well, You Try To Reconstruct Iraq,' Says U.S. Defensive Dept.

WASHINGTON, DC?Responding to recent criticism of reconstruction efforts in Iraq, the U.S. Defensive Department released a statement to the public Monday suggesting that perhaps they could do better, since they're obviously so smart.

"Well, it looks like you American people have figured it all out, then," the statement read in part. "There's no need for the old government to do anything, because the citizens know just how to handle this whole reconstruction-of-Iraq thing. Well, go ahead! If it's so simple, and if you're so smart, then what's stopping you? Come on."

"Oh, gosh!" the statement continued. "Wait! It looks like Iraq is a whole big country! And it seems that someone just fought a war there, to oust a despotic regime! So, gee, this might take a while, huh?"



Yeah, but you know what?

Continued Pettibone: "…The worst part is?I didn't want to say this?most of you don't even vote! There, I said it! Most of you don't even vote, okay? So shut up!"

"Pettibone" has a point, don't he?
