	Morocco the greatest ally America has Support Apolyton, buy Civilization: The Boardgame

quote: Morocco offers US monkeys to detonate mines IANS Rabat, March 24 A Moroccan publication accused the government on Monday of providing unusual assistance to US troops fighting in Iraq by offering them 2,000 monkeys trained in detonating land mines, reports UPI. The weekly al-Usbu' al-Siyassi reported that Morocco offered the US forces a large number of monkeys, some from the country's Atlas Mountains and others imported, to use them for detonating land mines planted by the Iraqis. The publication quoted an informed source as saying: "That is not a scientific illusion but a well-known military tactic."

A true friend.

Are these suicide monkeys, or trained de-mining monkeys?

well i'll be a monkey's uncle!

actually the white house monkey alliance didn't start with Bush II, it goes all the way back to reagan with "bedtime for bonzo"

and you've heard "If you put an infinite number of monkeys at typewriters, eventually one will bash out the script for Hamlet"

lol maybe we should change it to

"If you put an infinite number of monkeys at typewriters, eventually one will bash out the white house's plan for international diplomacy"

We can't train our own monkeys?

ACK!

I believe it was during the early days of WW2 that Canada sent a bunch of horses over to the French to bolster their calvalry.

Needless to say, calvalry was rather obsolete by that time, but the French found the horses to be delicious.

On that topic, how do you teach a monkey to detonate landmines? What's there to learn?

Well, that was my question: are the monkeys actually trained at disarming mines, or do they just release them into the minefields and watch them explode?

I belive the latter, which is an improvement over the earlier procedure.

Send conscripts into the minefields and watch them explode.

Why would you need monkeys if you were just gonna let them explode? Why not, say, sheep?

but think of all of the lonely backwoods guys you'd be denying the oppertunity for a little love and companionship if you just heartlessly send sheep to their deaths!

though slightly more on topic on cnn tonight i saw that the navy had trained dolphins to put markers down to make mines in the ocean, so maybe the monkey's know to put down flag or something when they find a mine

That's what I would think. Besides, animal rights activists would have a collective cardiac episode if the US government were using animals, not to mention monkeys, to blow up landmines.

Maybe we could kill two birds with one stone if we asked them to act as human shields.

I just had a thought.



We could infect the monkeys with a disease and then release them to contaminate all of Iraq! Oh my God, it's so evil!
