President George W. Bush expressed sincere regret today over the "death and injury by Al Queda terrorists to over 450 Turkeys."

"This atrocity strikes at the heart of all Americans hold dear," he said today in a speech during his state visit to the United Kingdom. "Coming as it does so close to Thanksgiving, and threatening the availability of our celebratory bird of the feast, we must come together as Americans and demand an end to violence against Turkeys, and against all freedom loving people and birds."

Witnesses were shocked at the gaffe, with the President apparently confusing residents of Turkey, or Turks, with the Turkeys that are eaten every year in Thanksgiving celebrations. However, Jack Straw the UK Foreign Secretary said of the incident, "There was this awkward silence in the room when we realized what he had done, and it dawned on all of us that this man is truly stupid. But hell, he's the leader of the free world, so who was going to say anything? I guess that's kind of how we ended up in Iraq."

Bush's speech also promised immediate aid to Turkey farmers who may have been affected by the blast. Bush's state visit continues.
