Troops in DC
(If you like this post, do read others on my blog. Or follow it to get automatic updates. Its free 😀) So this morning there are 4 times as many US troops at the Capitol in Washington, than there are US troops in Iraq and Afghanistan combined. Both those countries have now offered to send troops to the US to help preserve democracy. An Iraqi govt spokesman said that they had always mistakenly assumed that the Green Zone in Baghdad was one of the most dangerous places on earth, but they now see that its actually quite a safe haven when compared to the Capitol in DC. So they would be willing to move some of their troops from the Green Zone to DC. His Afghani counterpart said everything is relative and looking at DC, they now feel quite safe in Kabul and so are also willing to help keep the peace next week in DC. A spokesman for Iran-backed militias denied that they were involved in training the rioters who overwhelmed the Capitol. We conduct intelligence tests before we recruit people,
