WASHINGTON, D.C. (Just Laugh) - President Bush announced today that thanks to the Iraq situation, he has nearly run out of threatening cliches. "Yesterday's announcement that the 'Game is over' for Saddam was pretty much the last one," he said. Vice President Cheney confirmed the shortage. "This is a dire situation," he said. "If we don't have an adequate store of sound bite threats, we may be forced to go to war."

Previously used cliches include: lights out, dead meat, you'll be sorry, don't look now, we're not playing, don't make me come over there, and now you've done it. As Secretary of State Colin Powell pointed out, "that's pretty much it if you're a caucasian American."

Indeed, if the crisis continues, Bush may be forced to use cliches generally associated with other ethnicities, such as: gonna git you sucka, pop a cap in yo' ass, get medieval, bling-bling, or ass-beatin'.

"I suppose he could tell Saddam he's about to get hisself busted up," said Powell, "but honestly, I don't think the President would be comfortable with it. I'm not comfortable saying it myself, and I'm nearly a black man."
