Bush twins to join Air Force tech unit in Iraq
By Thomas C Greene in Dover, Delaware
Published Friday 1st April 2005 06:26 GMT

1 April exclusive First daughters Jenna and Barbara Bush will be assigned to a high-tech unit in Iraq, the Air Force Human Resources Command has confirmed. Having finished basic training at the Officer Training School (OTS) at Maxwell Air Force Base in Alabama, they are scheduled to receive advanced training in telecommunications at the School of Information Technology before deployment overseas with the USAF Information Operations Squadron. For security reasons, the exact dates have been withheld.

The girls' surprise enlistment was kept secret until they successfully completed their basic training. During an invitation-only press conference while on leave between OTS and their school assignment - conducted, symbolically, at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware where America's war dead are brought - the twins described their motives and rationale.

"We'd always planned to do this," Jenna explained. "But first, we had to graduate from college, and then we had to help our father win the 2004 election, to ensure that America would continue to have the kind of strong, inspiring leadership it needs in these troubled times."

"Right," Barbara added emphatically. "But now that the election is past, it's time for us to serve this wonderful nation of ours in a new way - in a way that reassures the American public that standing up to terrorists and rogue states, even at the expense of personal risk, is always the right thing to do."

more.....

Don't you wish? Happpy April Fool's day!

the report that one was "in Africa" doing some hospital volunteering or teaching or whatever the hell that phony report was. First they said she was there, then we never heard jackshit about it again, not one word. Never believe for an instant a greed-head selfish spoiled-brat *ie wouldn't be letting the world know if she lowered herself for a couple seconds to help out a fellow human in need. just like their mother the queen of the vampires, some tasteless and insensitive quote would show up somewhere about it.

7. Heh heh, didn't fool me
But that's only because I was going to put up an April Fools Day joke of my own and was looking to see if anyone else had beat me to it. Time to call my mother next door and tell her there's a bear in her back yard.

8. I knew this was an April Fool post the second I saw it.......
the twin airheads would never stoop so low as to serve their country. Just like their daddy, the nuts don't fall far from the tree.
