but I quite like it anyway. It was the 'Basra' pun that inspired it:
-----IN AD 2003, WAR WAS CONTINUING-----
SADDAM: WHAT HAPPEN?
GALLOWAY: SOMEONE SET UP US THE WMDs!
INFORMATION MINISTER: WE NOT GET SIGNAL!
SADDAM: (sigh) WHAT?
INFORMATION MINISTER: MAIN SCREEN NOT TURN ON.
-----main screen turns on-----
SADDAM: IT'S YOU. AGAIN.
RUMSFELD: HOW ARE YOU GENTLEMEN? ALL YOUR BASRA BELONG TO US!!
RUMSFELD: YOU ARE ON THE WAY TO EFFECTIVE TACTICAL LIQUIDATION!
SADDAM: WHAT YOU SAY!
RUMSFELD: WE GONNA BLOW YOU THE FUCK UP, RAGHEAD!
SADDAM: oh shit.
RUMSFELD: YOU HAVE NO CHANCE TO SURVIVE, MAKE YOUR TIME!
-----main screen turns off-----
SADDAM: TAKE OFF EVERY 'MiG'. YOU KNOW WHAT YOU DOING. MOVE 'MiG' FOR GREAT JUSTICE.

tin-pot dictators like S.H. generally have lots of old Soviet gear (quite apart from the stuff we and the Yanks sold them, of course).

'All your base are belong to us'. It is to internet humour as Basil Fawlty's goosestep is to British sitcom.
