As chemical weapons were being tossed outside this weeks G8 summit in Germany, presidents Bush and Putin put on a show that only a fight promoter representing both sides would be proud of.  Plans for US missile defence bases in countries bordering Russia to defend from Iranian missiles drew public ire from Russias political caravan.  Both parties did forget to mention however that Iranian missiles could not make it a third of the way to Poland (one of the possible base locations) let alone threaten the US mainland.

The fight promoter, who spoke to TDM under the promise of anonimity, graciously shared his thoughts on what transpired:

TDM:  Thank you for taking the time to....

Anonimity:  Let's get on with it.  My plane leaves for Switzerland in 30 minutes.

TDM:  How do you think your boys performed today?

Anonimity:  Just as planned.  So..., fine.

TDM:   Could this latest "roe" lead to the militirization of space?

Anonimity:  Lead to?  The only reason we went to space was to militarize it.  Let's see these sheep try and knock down a satellite with rocks and molitovs.

TDM:  Hmmm, almost untouchable then.  So the show this week was to help further advance your "plan"?

Anonimity:  Advance...?  We're nearing completion and bases like the ones advertised by my boys will add redundancy and better coverage to areas deprived of our influence for far too long.

TDM:  And by influence you mean...?

Anonimity:  Well, there's something to be said for surprises.  I'll leave that up to your imagination.  But a slingshot won't do you any good.

TDM:  Thanks for your time.

Anonimity:  *Grumble, *grumble.
