Bush Shocked by War Bill: "The war's still going on?"

WASHINGTON, April 26 - When asked by reporters today for his reaction to the bill passed in the House on Wednesday - a bill which requires the withdrawal American troops serving in Iraq to begin on October 1st of this year - President Bush expressed shock and disbelief that such a bill was being discussed in the first place.

"You're telling me that the war's still going on? You gotta be kidding," said Bush. "Like, the one in Iraq?"

As the press conference continued, it became more and more apparent that the president had no idea that the U.S. was still involved in the Iraq conflict. "They want to pull the troops out by October? So that means there's soldiers over there right now? What the hell are they doing there?"

"Man, that really sucks," added Bush.

Before long, it was President Bush asking questions of the reporters. Bush was curious "how things were going over there," as well as if politicians from other countries were "still all mad at [him]."

"This is all really just so hard to believe. Are y'all just playing a prank on me? Say Stretch, you set my calendar back again? Is it April first or something?"

President Bush continued asking questions until everyone got so uncomfortable they left.
