After weeks of technical problems, and studying petty rocks, the Mars rover, Opportunity, has located what scientists believe to be Saddam’s WMD stockpiles.

Colin Powell displayed some of Opportunity’s photos at the UN, claiming they were undeniable proof that Iraq was storing the weapons on Mars.

White House press secretary Scott McClellan said “We’ve maintained all along that they were a threat, and this only confirms what we already knew.”

Still at question is how Iraq got the technology to travel to Mars in the first place. White House officials pointed to this as further evidence that Saddam was a threat to the US, “and everyone in the galaxy”.

In a surprising statement, France and Germany denounced Opportunity’s findings, claiming that the photos are of Mars colony supplies that the EU is secretly building, in order to beat “those damned Americans” to Mars.

Whitehouse officials were not available to comment on Old Europe’s claims.
