This Week's Quote: "At some point, during every stage show I do, I take a sip of water and ask the audience, 'How's the water here?' I haven't gotten a positive response yet. Not one. Nobody trusts their water supply. Nobody. And that amuses me. Because it means the system is beginning to collapse...I'm glad the water sucks." —George Carlin

it's not. Here are equivalent statements to "we will have water which meets X and Y standards". They're from Egypt, but the idea is the same:
"the President ordered the national debt of Egypt payed"
"The President ordered that the Egyptian pound is to be five dollars"
"the President ordered that the team wing the FIFA tournament".
