Iraq War put on hold because of recall...

DATELINE: LaLaLand
The Iraq War has been put on hold by the Pentagon, when they were notified that bullets contain large quantities of lead. WalMart has suspended sales of .22 cal shells as well as BB's.

Sources say it may be months, even years before a suitable substitute is found. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi has stated that a full Congressional investigation will be mounted, and that a bill will be introduced declaring Iraq a 'Superfund Site'.

2. I thought all that contained lead was replaced forty years ago

I can remember in the sixties the big deal about lead bullets and how it became impossible to buy ammo with lead. Where is any coming from now and how did it get here?

4. Breaking news!

All ammo manufacturing has now been outsourced to China. Don't worry boys, you'll be up and running... I mean firing in no time.
