American Troops Entering Fallujah Are Showered with Flowers And Sweets
http://www.unconfirmedsources.com/?itemid=601

Unconfirmed sources report that Iraqi insurgents who held Fallujah have greeted American forces with open arms. The insurgents packed the streets and rooftops of the city and rained flowers and candies upon the assaulting American troopers. Fallujah is peaceful tonight, as American forces have liberated the town without firing a shot.

"Just like in Paris in World War II." Said White House flack Ben Lion. "The Iraqi people have greeted us as liberators all over again. Freedom marched into that town today and the people responded. It is just like we keep trying to tell the American people, the Iraqis love Americans and our brave and fearless leader, George W. Bush. As a matter of fact many insurgents held up American flags as our troops entered the city. Today is a great day for the people of Fallujah, Fallujah has become a symbol of the American success in the region."

Former insurgent Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the Jordanian extremist, who has masterminded dozens of suicide bombings, kidnappings and beheadings, greeted the Americans at the edge of the city. He then rode with the American commander in his humvee and toured the city. The two men were seen laughing and holding their raised hands together as a show of unity to the people of Fallujah. The two then shared a light meal of falafel, hummus, and tea before speaking with the media.

"What a relief it is to finally have the Americans here." Said al-Zarqawi at a joint press conference held later in the day. "We are so glad they have arrived to liberate us from Sadam Hussein. All this time since Sadam's capture we have waited to be liberated. We were very disappointed when you started to liberate us before and stopped for your elections. But hey, now you are here and we are saved."
