Upon claims from some Iraqi citizens that British soldiers have released a plague of angry badgers into Basra an army spokesman was quoted on the BBC website:

“We can categorically state that we have not released man-eating badgers into the area.”

I feel somewhat vindicated that the motorbike accident I had a few years ago when I collided with one of the monochrome bastards was perhaps part of a late night army training mission for the Basra badgers rather than me just not seeing the damn thing because *obviously* these things have been trained in stealth tactics.

I think THIS was a forewarning of what the armed forces had planned. (You can thank me for getting that stuck in your head later heh)
