Galactic Empire to Take Over Power in Iraq

Companion Cube · Post by **Companion Cube** » 2003-10-05 08:26am

Lord Vader is convinced the Iraqis will hail their new leaders and embrace their newfound safety and security eagerly. "They are hard-working people who are used to being subjugated by a cruel, evil and inhumane dictator. As such, I know they will be very comfortable with their new leader, His Highness, the Emperor Palpatine."

Anchorwoman: Today, the Galactic Empire assumed control of Iraq. It is unclear whether the Imperial troops will be capable of handling the still raging conflict...ack....*gasp*

*Vader walks on screen*

Vader: There is no conflict.

HAHAHAH

That is great!

We all know how the Empire would handle it.

'Sir, Iraq is being a pain again'

'Commence Base Delta Zero'

I bet the Empire could restore order to Iraq. And the rest of the world.

I'd love to see how the Empire would handle looking for Saddam

'We have reason to believe he's somewhere in Tikrit'
'Level everything within 100 miles of Tikrit'
'Yes sir!'

For some reason, I picture the Imperial Inquisitors looking for Bin Laden....

Maybe the Empire should move into Afghanistan next?

It seems like a good political strategy. If something goes wrong, the president can't be blamed, and that's one less issue for 2004. However, that might destroy the Galactic Empire Party's effort to win the presedential election.

I suppose you could say that. Just listen to their accents.

So? You've seen too much "rebel" propaganda! The Galactic Empire isn't evil, merely ruthlessly efficient. There may be some few individuals who try to in the Senate who try to subvert and twist the Empire to their own less than savory ideas but Vader and the Emperor will deal with them in due time.

Well yeah, that was kind of the point of the whole joke, because of how Lucas' villains are always -- ah screw it.

You tried, Damien. And failed, of course, but you still tried.
