Pentagon Memo
Invasion Plan for Iraq Not Involving Edible Panties #1472
Title: How to Safely Invade Iraq
Status - Classified [i.e. only The New York Times is allowed
access to it]
The main theory behind Invasion Plan for Iraq Not Involving Edible
Panties #1472 is that the extensive usage of Gummi products
in lieu of aerial assaults and the introduction of an eventual ground
force would have a far greater chance of overall success.
Gummi forces first came to military prominence playing a limited
yet integral behind the scenes role in Operation Desert Storm. At
present, it is government policy not to officially acknowledge or
deny their involvement in this war.
Gummies are very focused and come from a fine line of squishy Nabisco
products. Currently, we believe that the initial invasion force
would most likely consist of an assortment of Gummi Bears and Pandas.
Gummi Worms would subsequently parachute in to secure the perimeter.
An invasion of Gummi Bears, conducted by special gelatinous forces,
would not only spare the lives of American soldiers, but allow for
the safe containment of opposition troops and resisting forces as
well, harmlessly surrounding them with delicious Gummi products
who would simply bounce them into confusion and unconsciousness.
The unexpected nature of the threat and surprise attack will offer
U.S. gelatinous forces the element of surprise.
The relay of orders to the Gummi legions will be facilitated by
the insertion of little microchips into their tiny butts. They will
also be dressed in fashionable sugar tuxedos.
The resiliency of Gummi products will also lend itself to our purposes.
It is already well known that upon planning the assassination of
a Gummi bear, one must fully prepare themselves for the likely eventuality
that they may not survive. It is important to aim for the neck,
bellybutton, butt, or certain other vital areas, and attempt nothing
less than a kill shot. This has been well documented
in Iraqi military manuals.
Gummi bears are virtually impervious to pain and immune from all
forms of known torture including, but not limited to, twisting,
squishing, licking, pulling, bending, poking, burial, and opera.
When introduced to extreme heat, they enlarge to ten times their
standard size at room temperature, enraged and prepared to wreak
mushy havoc. This could work in our favor considering the desert
climate of Iraq.
Also, we cannot discount the sheer degree of terror to be inspired
by an army of bouncing Gummies, madly romping toward the dictator
of Iraqs quivering face.
Additionally, more recent flavors of Gummies have been trained
to locate and disarm weapons of mass destruction (country grape
for biological, strawberry-watermelon for most chemical, lemon for
Sarin, isopropyl methylphosphonofluoridate {Sarin, GB: CH3-P(=O)(-F)(-OCH(CH33)2)},
and lime for nuclear). Giant Gummi Bears (i.e. Heated Gummies) will
be required to operate Geiger counters while Gummy Pandas are currently
preparing to launch surgical strikes directed at known weapons facilities.
Gummi Bears and Pandas would first be deployed in Baghdad, surrounding
various palaces, locating bunkers, gathering intelligence on the
ground, and gaining control of weapons depots. With the element
of surprise in our favor, they will take up initial positioning
on the high ground and inside palace toilets.
Also of interest to note, Gummi products have been trained in various
diplomatic capacities, fully capable of erecting and maintaining
an interim government of related gelatin products should such a
procedure prove necessary (most probably one based upon rudimentary
parliamentary government practices). Again, the U.S. should likely
play some part in the establishment of an interim government following
the subsequent gooey smothering of Iraqs current leadership.
As we speak, Nabisco is currently entertaining such possibilities
with opposition forces within Iraq. We intend to run a copy of this
invasion proposal by The New York Times and possibly Entertainment
Weekly in order to get their seasoned military feedback. The
success of this venture will prove nothing short of delicious.
