Netanyahu Feeling Like Trip To US To Start World War III Went Pretty Well

[iandhr]

NEW YORK—Following his speech to the United Nations General Assembly this week, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced Friday that he is “pretty satisfied” with his trip to the U.S. to instigate World War III. “All in all, I think I accomplished my goal of pushing humanity toward the brink of complete and utter annihilation,” said Netanyahu, adding that his implicit calls for international military action against Iran, which would ultimately escalate the conflict to an Armageddon-level of death and destruction, went “fairly well.” “I think I did a good job laying the groundwork for a nuclear holocaust that will kill billions of people and eventually end the world as we know it. Sounded like everyone really liked it, too.” When reached for comment, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad told reporters that he was “equally happy” with his own efforts to nudge the world slightly closer to a full-blown apocalypse.

2. He tried. The cartoon of the Acme bomb was a bit much, and poorly drawn.

Are there enough Jews in the rest of the world to repopulate Israel after these horrible old men destroy it? I'm not a "true Jew" and never liked the desert, so they can count my ass out.

However, if the 77% of American Jews who don't believe in Zionsim move there, it would be a different place.

3. I have to give the Onion some credit, they really know how to play things up. =)

In all seriousness, though, WWIII isn't likely for a variety of reasons, not the least of which that Moscow won't sacrifice 160 million people over a country that doesn't truly respect them anyhow, and China would be done for without us as their number 1 trading partner.

4. War is a racket, Joe

It is ginned up to make a just few people rich.

Like you say, a nuked world would be out of business. So you have to ask yourself: Who's making $$ with all this talk? Certainly oil companies are. And they are the same who are backing co2.

6. Of course WWIII is not likely thats why they call it satire

5. Hopefully this is far enough out there it won't come true and wreck their satire.
