Off On A Tangent

Taliban invites Bush, Blair for a duel.

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (UPI)-- Afghanistan's ruling Taliban militia on Monday proposed a duel among President George W. Bush, British Prime Minister Tony Blair and its leader Mullah Mohammad Omar.

"The Americans have launched propaganda that Mullah Omar has gone in hiding, so I will propose that Mr. Blair and Mr. Bush should take Kalashnikovs and come to a specified place where Mullah Omar will appear with the Kalashnikovs to determine as to who will run," Taliban Foreign Minister Maulvi Wakil Ahmed Mutawakil was quoted as saying by Iran's IRNA news agency.

Hmm... Let's send Tom Cruise in one of those Mission Impossible face masks that could make him look like Bush. Pierce Brosnan can go as Blair. Richard Dawson could host the worldwide broadcast.
