CLIVEN BUNDY SHIPPED TO IRAQ!!
BY LIENO TIPE
SOMEWHERE LOST IN NEVADA

Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy arrived early this morning in Baghdad as part of an apparent effort by U.S. authorities to lure the outlaw cattleman away from the ongoing nonsense at his ranch and the surrounding community.

A heretofore little known diplomatic unit, in cooperation with the Federal Bureau of Land Management reportedly offered Mr. Bundy rights to continue the illegal grazing of his cattle, and a set of silver-plated AR-15 assault rifles, in return for his deployment to the strife-riven country.

"The deal makes sense for us," said an official familiar with the operation. "We gave him something he was already doing anyway. Given the man's low cognitive threshold, we believed he would not comprehend the full ramifications of the offer, and we were proven correct."

Authorities had hoped some of Mr. Bundy's armed supporters would blindly follow their hero into the path of the recent invasion by Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS) militia, but that outcome did not occur.

"These guys were all good with aiming their assault rifles at park rangers and invading a small ranching community," the official said. "We thought we might trick them into facing an actual enemy, but even they weren't stupid enough fall for that."

A few groups advocating at least some modicum of sanity in U.S. gun laws proposed an even more radical approach to assisting the Iraqi government, including a limited draft, and deployment, of individuals owning assault weapons with high capacity magazines.

"They're so hot to bear every gun imaginable," said one gun control advocate.  "Let them use them for what they were designed. Warfare."

Senator John McCain, who has strongly pressed for a more vigorous support of the Iraqi government, opposed any such strategy.  "The present administration has failed to live up to our commitments to the Iraqi people," he stated. "But expecting our citizens - who are simply exercising their constitutional rights under the Second Amendment - to employ these highly lethal firearms for their true purpose was not what I had in mind."

Many of Mr. Bundy's supporters, who had crossed state lines heavily armed in a conspiracy to obstruct a legal court order and openly threaten officers of the law, have been steadily drifting back home to their positions as freelance security guards and unemployed members of openly clandestine militia groups.

"We've proven that freedom still exists in this U.S. of A. of ours," said one. "As far as Clive, he's a good old boy. Rest assured we're praying for him."
