One Clown Dead In Iraq.

GW Bush was concerned about the potential casualties in the Iraq War and asked Dick Cheney for advice.

"Tell them the truth. 5000 Americans, 1,000,000 Iraqis, but add one clown."

"Why?"

"You'll see."

At the next press conference the reporters clamored for details on the casualties and GW Bush says, "We estimate that there will be 5000 American dead, 1,000,000 Iraqis, and one clown."

The press all jumped to their feet and asked about the clown.

Dick Cheney could only smile.
