Things my brain does to keep itself from being board

Setting: Oil Rich West African Nation
Plot: Brutal African Dictator kills a group of American Missionaries. Navy Seals and special forces come in and kill his corrupt cabal running the country....

and the whole rest of the government

("D'Oh")

So we have to temporarily administer the country till we can rebuild a government.

and things go great

People are happy

civil rights are established for the first time, and it all goes swimmingly.

[Scene at Whitehouse]

President (some one Serious but with good funny credentials. Maybe Donald Sutherland) : So, your saying we may even be able to get out early?
National Security Advisor (Played by George Carlin): We expect to have an interim government in place by the end of the year.

[Scene in the african capital-Journalist bar-]

CNN Guy: This is horrible, i mean how can send stories about US soldiers building another school.
MSNBC Guy: Hey at least you didn't pitch this as a horrid "Vietnam in the congo" situation in the pitch meeting.
Fox News Guy: My producers are on me to find bad news to.. they are tired of running trial news.
AbC News Guy: If i can't find something soon, they'll send me home.

NYT Reporter (Walks into the bar and buys a round of drinks for everyon)

NYT Reporter: Yeah, cost me a weeks salary but i just got myself a big story...
ABC Guy: How?
NYT Reporter: I paid a tribal cleric to stone some women who had pre marital sex
--------

then the reporters 5 form a conspiracy

the greedy Cleric becomes a Senior Cleric, in a prestigous mosque and things just go down hill

Title Idea: African Quagmire

to make an insurrection to advance their careers
