Armitage: I Meant Bomb Them to Bronze Age—Not Stone Age

Bush Administration Official, Richard Armitage, today announced that the Bush Administration had only threatened to bomb Pakistan to the Bronze Age not all the way back to the Stone Age. “In the Bronze Age they had the rudiments of metallurgy.” Armatige continued. “Granted it wasn’t the Iron Age or the Industrial Age, but heck the Bronze Age was way better than the Stone Age!”

Pakistan Prime Minister Musharraf has apologized profusely for his unfounded accusation and says that he and the rest of Pakistan look forward to relearning how to form and use primitive bronze tools once the bombing completes.
