IJMC - Strong Foreign Policy

Ok, I'm tempted, but I'm not going to get up on my soapbox for this one. 
Just sit there and think about what I might of said if I had...although, 
I guess it would help if you read the joke first...<grin>          -dave








In an attempt to negotiate peace, Bill Clinton flew to Bagdad for talks with
Sadam Hussain.

On the first day they were sitting in Sadam's conference hall when Bill
noticed three little buttons on the arm of Sadam's chair.  After a few
minutes discussion Sadam pressed the first button and a large boxing glove
on a spring bounced out of the table and hit Bill square on the jaw.  Sadam
burst out laughing, but in the spirit of peace Bill decided to ignore this
and continued.

A few more minutes passed and Sadam pressed the second button.  A wooden
baton swung out of the table leg and hit Bill in the shins.  He winced
slightly as Sadam giggled away, but again decided the peace process to be
more important.

A few more minutes passed and Sadam pressed the third button.  Bill jumped
up, but a boot came out and hit him in the balls.  Sadam was sitting there
pissing himself and Bill had had enough of this, so he said "I'm going back
to Washington!" and walked out.

A few weeks later the meeting had been resheduled and this time took place
in Bill's conference hall.  Sadam was sitting there and he suddenly noticed
three buttons on the arm of Bill's chair.  After a few minutes Bill pressed
the first button.  Sadam ducked, but nothing happened and Bill laughed his
head off.

The talks continued and a few minutes later Bill pressed the second button.
Sadam lifted his legs up, but nothing happened and Bill sat there giggling.

After a further few minutes of talking, Bill pressed the final button.
Sadam jumped out of the chair, but nothing happened and Bill absolutely
pissed himself.  Sadam had had enough of this and said, "I'm going back to
Bagdad!".

"What Bagdad?"  asked Bill.
