Exclusive CIA Satellite Photo
 

CIA satellite photos released today show a previously undisclosed ICBM weapons system developed by Saddam Hussein.  This discovery, finally vindicating the Bush administration's assertion that the Iraqi’s threat to U.S. national security was real, and the military action was justified, may result in further U.S. - based military actions in the
Middle East.

Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld stated, “The newly discovered weapons systems when complete would be able to hit strategic targets within the United States borders.”

Though the current range was estimated at only 60 meters, plans were discovered for a larger system capable of hitting targets over 6,000 kilometers away.

Vice President Dick Cheney explained, “This sophisticated system, similar to the feared SCUD missile system, was easily transportable and would have been much more difficult to counter once deployed”

George Bush, when awakened from his nap at his ranch, was quoted as saying ,“and you'all thought I was makin this shit up” when given the news.
