So after it was all over did everyone lie back and have a smoke? In 1995 the Yanks showed you no respect so it stands to reason that in 2001 and 2003 you should bail their @sses by going to war with them, go figure!

Sounds fake to me. This circulates with differing years and nationalities.

I've seen this many times and although it's funny, the authenticity of it has been under question for some time.
I don't think it's for real but, i really want it to be!
