Capitalizing on the enormous success achieved by Democrats with the display of children at the inauguration ceremony, the new leaders are proposing to take this strategy even further and manage the situation in Iraq with the help of Care Bears™.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6 - Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Speaker Nancy Pelosi sent a letter to President Bush urging him to reject any plan that could potentially result in a military victory in Iraq. The leaders warned that a surge in troop levels might further antagonize al-Qaeda's already-overtaxed fighters, and cited the dangers of U.S. victory to the future of the Democratic Party, liberal media, and world's progress towards socialism.

The two leaders called on the President to heed the will of the anti-American forces, make up with dictators in Iran and Syria, and recognize the need to abandon the silly notion that all people are born equal and desire freedom.

"Our soldiers are unqualified to combat the freedom fighters who see us as hostile invaders and ruthless killers that we are. We need to convince the insurgents that we love them, rather than alienate them with bullets and what not," the letter stated, proposing to replace U.S. troops in Iraq with a small contingent of Care Bears who would send a message of love and caring throughout the Middle East.

Many in the military and in the Bush White House have cast an immediate and abruptly skeptical eye on the plan. While we have seen no official comment from the Pentagon, several issues have been raised by laymen that require further analysis.

"The success of the Care Bears in dealing with Professor Coldheart has been well documented, but will they succeed in Iraq?" says Wesley Clark, a retired four-star general who currently leads a political action committee Securing America. "I'm not even sure the Care Bears would want to leave Care-a-lot for deployment."

Every Care Bear wears a bright-colored tummy picture that tells the world its name and special area of caring. While this is helpful in civilian areas, it may prove a hindrance in a combat zone. In addition, the patented "Care Bear Stare," so often used to great effect by the squad, may be in conflict with the Geneva Conventions.

Herb Finkler of the non-partisan ACLU states, "The Care Bear stare is clearly a psychological weapon with a severe long-term effect. To use this weapon on men whose only crime is desiring to detonate themselves in a crowded market is unconscionable."

While the details and efficacy of the plan remain up in the air, one thing is clear. The Democrats are not the party of "cut and run," but are indeed the party most interested in an effective and humane outcome in Iraq.

good point....
 

My inside sources at the Kremlin have leaked information to me that Putin, in an effort to cover up the February 2003 WMD transporting operation in to Syria and Lebanon from Iraq has re-activated Misha Bear to counter this new and latest threat from the West. Misha's job will be infiltrating the Care Bears and activating Impeachment Bear (Stare Bear) by showing Stare Bear the Red Queen. Stare Bear will then report back to Pelosi and stare at her until impeachment is "back on the table", diverting any attention that Share Bear might give in sharing intelligence about the 2003 operation.

THE FORGOTTEN CARE BEAR
(HAT TIP TO CHAIRMAN PUNCHENKO)

Misha Bear - guardian of The People™, protector of ideological purity and Care-A-Lot gulag commandant.

Armed with the billy-club of People's Revolutionary Justice™, Misha cracks the legs of those who refuse to give up their petty trinkets and decadent ways for The Greater Good™ and shoots all those suspected of counter-revolutionary thinking.

THE ORIGINAL CARE BEAR
(HAT TIP TO LAIKA THE SPACE DOG)

There was an actual Misha Bear before your time, Chairman. He was the offical mascot to the Moscow 1980 Olympics. Carter wouldn't let the American teams participate because of Afghanistan..... that was really showing them American resolve!
