somewhere in the U.S., 11:50pm

pen *click* "And today on Politically Incorrect, Bill Maher has special guests G. Gordon Liddy, Pamela Anderson, Nell Carter, and Sting."

*click* "My fellow Americans, at 11:45pm Eastern Standard Time, Iraq launched a battery of missiles aimed at Israel. We suspect heavily that these have been armed with chemical and biological warheads, set for the most dispersion they can manage. As of right now, because the Congress is out of session, I am declaring war on Iraq, and calling the members of Congress back for a true declaration of war. Already, Israel has launched a counterattack against Iraq, likely with nuclear and conventional weapons. The United States cannot stand for such an atrocity on either side, but will respond with deadly force of nuclear, biological, or other weapons of mass destruction are involved. Yes, Mr. Shaw."

"Mr. President, Bernard Shaw, CNN. Has the U.S. launched a counterattack against Iraq?"

"As of now, there has been no attack of Iraq from the United States. It is likely, however, that such a counterattack will come soon. I cannot comment further at this time."

"And that is the President leaving the Press Room after announcing Iraq's aggression against Israel, which it has threated to do for months, if not years."
