WASHINGTON, DC - A news conference originally intended to highlight the Iraq War’s most promising prognosis in nearly 60 months instead was overshadowed today by disturbing allegations of troop misconduct.
Responding to the leak of several photos which depict widespread camel rape amongst U.S. troops, Secretary of Defense Robert Gates dismissed the chilling indictments as “al-Sadr-like propaganda,” but stopped short of calling the molestations nonexistent when pressed further by reporters.
Gates cryptically acknowledged several “rogue incidents” involving “lonely heroes,” but otherwise avoided specific questioning in regards to whether those events culminated in the rape of the desert dwelling beasts.
