Bush Warns Iran Against Action in Iraq

President admonishes "It's not as easy as you might think."

Washington D.C. (Rhodes Media Services)--President Bush today warned Iranian officials against taking any action in Iraq, and urged Iranian President Mahmoud Amadinejad to "really think this one through."

"I have some experience with this," said Bush during a hastily organized press briefing. "I'm here to tell you, this whole Iraq thing is way more complicated than Iran may be prepared for. Iran, listen to me, please: it's not as easy as you might think."

Bush read from a list of items he didn't think Iran was prepared for in the event the neighboring country decided to take action in Iraq. For example, he doubted whether Amadinejad was really ready for a protracted engagement in a country experiencing daily violence, adding "because, honestly, that's damned tricky."

"Oh, and also, don't expect your approval ratings to stay on the top peg, either," noted Bush, almost as an afterthought. "I mean, I can handle it, myself; but you, Mahmoud, you kind of strike me as the meglomaniacal type who may be prone to mass killings of your own people if your approval dips around the 30 percent mark. Do you really want that? No, I didn't think so. Let us take care of Iraq; you have your hands full dithering with Syria and Lebanon. That's a pretty full plate."
