Anyway, the skit went something like this (relying on memory here….)
Reporter 1: Can you tell us where the American Forces are right now?
General: No I can't, in the interest of the safety of our soldiers.
Reporter 2: What is the exact plan of attack that you intend to employ?
General: Again, that is classified information which I cannot share.
Reporter 3: Where are we most vulnerable to attack, at this moment?
General: [visible irritation] I would remind you all that I cannot give classified information that would compromise our military efforts. Now are there any questions that do not pertain to specific military planning details?
Reporter 4: Is there anything you can tell us that would lower the morale of our troops stationed in Kuwait?
[Army aide has to restrain the General from physically confronting reporter.]
SNL's lampooning of the Press aside, you have to commend them this time, as Harry has apparently been in Iraq since before Christmas (or "The Holiday Season", trying to be PC folks). But that didn't stop the torrential outpouring of brilliant, inspired commentary from this panel of political pundits on CNN.
Consider some of these quips I made mental note of:
"Al Qaida would pay particular attention to targeting Prince Harry"
"Iraq is a dangerous place right now, Harry is at a great risk of injury or even death!"
"The Queen must be quite concerned over the Prince's well-being"
Thank God (sorry again, that should read thank "goodness") that we have these panels to set us straight. Here I had no idea that Iraq was dangerous, nor did I realize that Al Qaida was interested in targeting a high profile person, nor did I realize that the Queen, as a mother, would have concern for her child.
Got to go now, they've interrupted this story on TV for breaking news on Britney……
