Borowitz Report - Oh, The Irony!
Quote:Libyan Government Warns NYPD to Exercise Restraint
Urges NATO Action to Protect American Dissidents

TRIPOLI (The Borowitz Report) – As arrests mounted in the Occupy Wall Street protest in New York City, Libya’s National Transitional Council (NTC) issued a stern statement today warning the NYPD to exercise restraint.

“The Libyan transitional government regards any attempt to infringe upon the American protesters’ right to express themselves as a violation of international standards of free speech and liberty,” the Libyan statement read. “We will not sit idly by and watch this happen.”

Libyan government officials also hinted that if the arrests continue, it would consider forming a NATO coalition “to ensure the safety and security of the American people.”

While it did not state it as an explicit goal, insiders believe that if the arrests continue Libya may seek the ouster of New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg, whose whereabouts remain unknown.

Perhaps in response to the Libyan statement, the U.S. State Department today responded with a statement of its own: “The United States is one hundred percent opposed to the suppression of popular uprisings as long as they aren’t happening here.”

I wish it weren't a parody.

In other news, the new Iraqi government warned the US that it may call for "regime change" if the unrest continues.

"We are concerned about the potential for destabilization in the North American continent, one of the principle consumers of our product." said Shite leader Alotta Moolah, "We can't tolerate such a threat to our economy."

Protests filled Bagdad streets as citizens concerned over the saber rattling from their government rallied around the slogan "No blood for oil consumption".
