Subject: World Bank Wants to Help Afghans Amass Staggering Debt Burden - Just Kidding

In case you didn't already see these - below are two Afganistan pleces from SatireWire (the folks who brought us Enron
Admits it's Really Argentina)

World Bank Wants to Help Afghans Amass Staggering Debt Burden

Washington, D.C. (SatireWire.com) - The World Bank this week said it plans to extend loans to rebuild Afghanistan once
a new government is installed, a pledge bank officials and Afghan opposition leaders agree virtually ensures that the war-
fom country’s economy will become stable when penguins fly.

The World Bank and sister organization the Intemational Monetary Fund have assisted countless struggling nations in
their efforts to remain struggling nations, and their loans and policies are credited with bringing about the current
economic situation in Argentina and the Asian financial crisis. Their multi-billion-dollor efforts to prop up the currencies of
Russia and Brazil, meanwhile, were credited with keeping those currencies from collapsing for weeks,

"We are very gratified to know the World Bank wishes to give us money, and we anxiously await the impossibly strict
policies attached to these loans that will keep us from being able to escape poverty for decades,* said Afghan tribal
leader Hamid Karzai. "We are all very tired of war, and hopeless destitution will be a welcome respite.”

Mullah Omar Apparently Fuzzy on the "We" Thing

Kandahar, Afghanistan (SatireWire.com) - Declaring "We are ready to face these Americans,” well-hidden Taliban leader
Mullah Omar urged his followers to “fight to the death” on Wednesday in statements that led many Taliban soldiers to
question whether Omar really understood the meaning of "we."

“I don't know, to me, when you say We, it seems like that should mean all of us. You know, me, the other soldiers, him,”
Said 22-year-old Saudi Salaam Rebdul as U.S. fighter jets strafed his hilltop lookout. “But there's no him here. Only me
and the other sokdiers.~

Omar's comments, broadcast from his secure bunker via radio to his commanders, also included the Mullah’s assertion
that, "We are happy that they have landed here and we will teach them a lesson,”

“You see, like that right there. We are happy they're here. We will teach them a lesson,” Rabdul added. "OK. personal
pronouns can be confusing, but I'm not happy they're here, and linguistically, | is part of We, at least where | grew up.~
