Peace in Iraq

GEORGE BUSH IS TALKING TO GENERAL PETRAEUS

GEORGE
Well done General Petraeus, we done gone and brought peace to Iraq, haven't we?

PETRAEUS
Yes sir there's peace, as long as there's 10,000s of troops patrolling the streets.

GEORGE
But there's peace?

PETRAEUS
Yes as long as we spend millions bribing every one not to shoot us.

GEORGE
But there's peace?

PETRAEUS
Yes sir, most of the insurgents have gone into hiding till the next US election. When they'll stick it to the new guy.

GEORGE
Damn Petraeus is there peace.

PETRAEUS
Absolutely George, there's peace in Iraq, and our troops are 150% more mobile with their new flying pigs. There's peace until the next guy to get your job has to deal with the mess.

GEORGE
That'll do. Now get me one of those flying pigs, sounds fun.

Sweet. My favourite of yours today by a country mile.

Great. Think I would have Bush wrong footed a bit thinking he's got the definition of the word Peace wrong, asking the same question a couple of different ways rather than the repeat. Like it.

Do you need the line 'There's peace until the the next guy....' I think you said that once? Otherwise a goody.

Thanks, and I do repeat, the next guy line, hmm I'll have to change the insurgent line.
