I just had to link to this

Tomanbay informs us that our Prime Minister Ahmed Nazif explained the spread of the bird flu virus in Egypt by describing "in comic details how Egypt was prepared to defend itself against infected birds which were migrating from north to south, but was surprised to find out that the birds were in fact migrating from the south to the north!"

This is really funny because it reminds us of what the fascist buffoons who ruled Egypt in 1967 said after they provoked Israel into a war we weren't prepared for that led to the annihilation of over 80% of the Egyptian army in six days. They explained that they expected the Israeli airforce to attack them from the east, but instead it surprised them from the west! And the saddest part about this is that this scenario was but a repeat of their performance in 1956.

I hope Nazif was only joking, because they say he is a decent man.
