GULF WARS Episode V:
The Empire Lashes Out!
The galaxy is in a state of upheaval.
The emperor continues to install tinpot
dictators in various countries around the
globe, as secretly as possibly in most cases
and with as little foresight as possible. Some
of these dictators are starting to rebel and now
he has sent his best man to put down the rebellion.
[cut to Baghobah, a desert planet which is rumoured to be the heart of civilization. George H.W. "Poppy" Bush crashes his jet fighter in the middle of a swam...er, desert, and fights his way through the mu...er, sand, looking for something....anything!]
Bush: I've got a baaaad feeling about this, Q2.
Quayle 2: *bleepe! bloope!*
Bush: I can't believe the shadowy organization that actually controls world affairs sent me here! This is a swamp! I mean, it's a barren wasteland! What could possibly be here?
[a crazy little alien with a moustache appears out of the sand and runs past Bush, grabbing his weapon as he goes]
Bush: Hey! [gives chase] That's my weapon, give me that!
Hussein: Mine! Mine! [they wrestle]
Quayle 2: *Blorpe!* [opens small hatch on his side and ejects a small object, labelled 'potatoe' directly at Hussein]
Hussein [still with firm grip on the gun]: Mine! Mine! Or I will help you not!
Bush: Help us? How could you possibly help us, you hand puppet?
Hussein [suddenly thoughtful]: Seek you a willing pawn to help you influence world events in the Middle East system, young Bush?
Bush: How could you possibly know that? That's classified! And where's this Saddam I'm supposed to meet?
Hussein: Take you to him I will, but first this is mine! And bring more! And some chemicals, hm?
Bush: I don't know about this...Ronnie's not going to like this. But I will try.
Hussein [indignant]: Hmph! Either do or do not! There is no try!
