A Washington think tank has announced a breakthrough in the search for a pattern
in US military activities since World War II that might predict what the future
missions of the US will be in the post-Cold War world.
"We think they are spelling out a message," explained an unnamed spokesperson.
"Just look at the places where the US has fought: Korea, Vietnam, Libya,
Iraq, Iran, El Salvador, Grenada, Nicaragua and Somalia. If you rearrange the
first letters of those countries, it spells 'ELVIS _S KING.' We just need to
find another 'I' country to complete the message."
