Dear Taliban and Mr. Bin Laden:
We are pleased to announce, that we unequivocally accept your challenge to an old-fashioned game of "whoop-ass." Now that we understand the rule that there are no rules, we look forward to playing without them for the first time. (heh, heh)
Since this game is a winner-take-all, we unfortunately are unable to invite you to join us at the victory celebration. But rest assured that we will toast you -- LITERALLY.
While we will admit that you are off to an impressive lead, it is however now our turn at the plate. By the way, we will be playing on your diamond now... Batter up!
Our team line up is as follows:
Manager ~ George W. Bush (First year at this position, may be a ROOKIE, but well versed in underhandedness. Chip of the Ole Block)
Ass't Manager ~ Dick Cheney (Somewhat schooled on your type of tactics being he is a Viet Nam Vet. Don't let the ticker fool you. He's all heart)
Head Coach ~ Colin Powell (Definitely not a ROOKIE!! 30 year vet in this arena--'nuff said. He's action will speak for themselves)
Assistant Coach ~ Donald Rumsfeld (The one unknown factor on this team. We hear he can be quite testy if riled. And, is he riled!)
Starting Pitcher ~ Norman Schwartzkoff (Remember Desert Storm? Been known to kick Butt first and maybe think about asking questions later.)
1st Base ~ U. S. Marine Corps
2nd Base ~ U. S. Navy
3rd Base ~ US Air Force
Shortstop and clean up hitter ~ U. S. Army
Outfield ~ Firemen and Policemen
Umpire ~ None Required (Well, maybe we'll consider the Red Cross)
*Remember - the manager told you there'll be no discussion; no negotiation; no how no way!
Pinch hitters as needed ~
US Navy SEALS
US Army Green Berets
US Army Rangers
US Air Force PJ's
Delta Force
And, since there are no rules, we've decided to add:
4th Base ~ United Kingdom
5th Base ~ Russia
6th Base ~ China
Other Bases (as desired) ~ Japan, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, "Pakistan, Turkistan, and few of your own Afghanistan's from the northern region and lots of other ...stans" and more.
