Sadam Hussein endorses Pentium III

In a rare appearance before reporters today and brandishing what he claimed was a new Pentium III chip in the place of his traditional pistol, the Iraqi ruler fired off the opening salvo in what is expected to be a new round in the computer wars in the Mid-East.
"Every Iraqi computer must contain a Pentium III", said Sadam, "there will be no exceptions. Every computer in Iraq will be registered and subject to inspection including yours" the Iraqi ruler smiled in the direction of the press. Asked how he would obtain sufficient chips to meet demand, Hussein indicated that his country was open to an arrangement with Intel to begin producing the chip in Iraq. "Our Revolutionary Guards are very good at security. They will do a good job for Intel." Hussein invited Intel's Andy Grove to come visit next time he is in the Mid-east. He indicated that Iraq would have many ways to use the new Pentium III chip that not even Intel's best engineers had given any thought to.
Reporters were then invited into a room filled with computers and given sledge hammers as Revolutionary Guards began smashing the old machines with gusto.
