Representatives of the American military-industrial complex are openly fuming at news from Cairo that demonstrators are clashing in a low-tech, un-armed fashion.
Having invested millions in ensuring any civil disturbances are carried out, quickly, efficiently and with maximum bloodshed, members of the arms trade are reportedly furious at their rudimentary combat strategy.
The United Nations report that 300 people have died in the protests on the streets of Cairo and Alexandria, a statistic that Lockheed-Martin spokesman Giles Peterson condemned yesterday as “absolutely unacceptable”
“We at Lockheed-Martin are uniformly disgusted at the proliferation of fist-fights and whatnot on the streets of Cairo
“Anyone would think that we hadn’t spent millions on getting the Egyptians armed to the teeth with howlitzers, guns, ankle cuffs and whatnot.
“You know what I saw on the fucking news today? People running into the riots with knives on fucking sticks.
“Needless to say, I pretty much vomited all over my laptop in disgust.”
Meanwhile, President Mubarak remains the de-facto leader of Egypt despite the presence of millions of demonstrators calling for his immediate abdication.
A spokesman for the president said yesterday, “I don’t understand what the problem is. Mubarak is a superb leader.
“30 years of doing exactly what the Americans want is quite an impressive feat as far as I’m concerned.
“What’s the big deal?”
The conflict in Cairo continues.
