fun with real news!!!
Fiji's military takes control of nation
SUVA, Fiji - Fiji's military commander said Tuesday that he had seized control of the country and dismissed the elected prime minister after a weeks-long standoff between the two leaders rooted in tension between the South Pacific nation's indigenous people and its ethnic Indian minority.
Commodore Frank Bainimarama told a news conference that he was using special powers under the constitution to assume the powers of the president and replace Prime Minister Laisenia Qarase.
He said he would soon return the powers to President Ratu Josefa Iloilo, who he expected to appoint a full interim government. Elections to restore democracy would follow, he said.
Qarase said he was under effective house arrest, and that he was powerless to stop the military takeover, which came after troops surrounded his house, set up checkpoints in the capital, Suva, and seized official vehicles from government ministers.
Well, imagine what would happen if the United States Military took over our Government!!
Washington, D.C. - The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of The United States Military said Tuesday that he had seized control of the country and dismissed the elected president and vice-president after a weeks-long standoff between the two leaders rooted in tension over the war in Iraq, the occupation of both Afganistan and Iraq, and the overall failure of the Bush Administration to prosecute the war properly, and capture Osama Ben Laden.
General Peter Pace, USMC, told a news conference that he was using special powers under the constitution to assume the powers of the president and replace President George W. Bush.
He said that he would soon return the powers of the Presidency to House Speaker Dennis Hasbert, who he expected to appoint a full interim government. Elections to restore democracy would follow, he said.
Bush said he was under effective house arrest, and that he was powerless to stop the military takeover, which came after troops surrounded the White House, over-powered the Secret Service, set up checkpoints around Washington, and seized official government vehicles for White House Staffers.
The Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) is a grouping comprising the Chiefs of service of each major branch of the armed services in the United States armed forces. Similar organisations, sometimes known as Chiefs of Staff Committees (COSCs) in the British Commonwealth, are common in other nations.
