IT'S WAR!
(San Francisco; NUNS, 12 March, 2003) With the assassination today of the Serbian Prime Minister, Europe was plunged into war...oh, sorry, I forgot which century I was in there for a second. Let us begin again...
(San Francisco; NUNS, 12 March, 2003) With the official announcement today that the foreign policy of the United States would henceforth be conducted by the US Department of Defense, the world was plunged into war.
Reaction among both US allies and those less well disposed towards the bloated and swaggering hyperpower was swift and mostly complimentary reflecting the widespread belief that Donald Rumsfeld, the new American Supremo for External Affairs, is not the sort of person who takes criticism well.
"France welcomes the announcement of the streamlining of the US government's world-dominating apparatus of state; the French government will seek to expand its cooperation with the US in its grand scheme to remake the planet to conform to the values and interests of Crawford,Texas," said French foreign minister, Richard Coeur d'Agneau.
Rumsfeld met briefly this morning with his domestic affairs counterpart, Rev John Ashcroft, to discuss possible cooperation between the two departments on matters of mutual interest. Sources close to Rumsfeld have repeatedly denied that he has any designs on Rev Ashcroft's job. Rumsfeld's immediate foreign policy predecessor Colin Powell, who has left the now disbanded US State Department, is reported to be considering going into public relations.
