At least they had an exit strategy.
This was just a test of the defenses. The real invasion is just around the corner.
I do seriously wished I lived in a country where border crossing is that easy.
Swiss Miss
I love this story. And I love buffalo's comment.
Can you imagine the dialog?
"Well, Sven, where do you think we are?"
"Holy smoked salmon, I think we might be in Lichtenstein!"
"Do you think they'll notice? Should we ask that farmer over there for directions?"
"I don't know, are they our allies?"
Do they really carry those little pocket knives?
With all the saber rattling the last couple weeks over who looks better in lederhosen, and who's cheese is the stinkiest, it was easy to see this coming… the Swiss have abandoned their neutrality and become Europe's most belligerent nation.
They may not have had any ammo in their guns, but surely they each had a Swiss army knife, right? As they yodeled along on their scorched earth campaign they left no can un-opened, no bottle uncorked and no tooth unpicked.
Evidently, Rumsfeld's been hired as Switzerland's new defense minister.
At first, I thought Bush got confused again, and invaded yet another wrong country - but I was expecting it to be Iceland, since he's obviously doing an I theme.
Mike - Swiss, not Swedish. No Svens in that army.
Actually, this isn't all that surprising. On a drive from Calais to southern Germany a few years back, we ended up criss-crossing back-and-forth across the Swiss-German border four times, while driving on the same road.
Bush better attack the Swiss. Letting this go unpunished is simply "appeasement", no better than before WWII.
What the reporter missed is the fact that the Swiss are responsible for the external affairs of Prince Adam's country. [They have a treaty of mutual defense] I am sure this is not the first time this has happened
