Not Flash, or in English but along the lines you're talking about.
Can't find the page with an explanation of the process but I had it
copied down in another email:

The subtitles are swedish, but are supposed to be phonetically the
same as what the guy is saying. Translated they mean:
"Daler och det hemliga vapnet" = 'Daler and the secret weapon' (of
the talibans, but that's just implied later)
"Han teleporterar Taliban" = "He's teleporting Talmbans"
"Yeah, han dr en mjdkig mjdkig en" = 'Yeah, he is a feeble, feeble
person' (Bush referring to Bin Laden)
"Dsch, han har ett mesigt gdng" = 'Pfft, he's got a weak posse' (Bin
Laden referring to Bush)
"Yes, fast han sunkar fett igen" = actually pretty untranslateable,
since it's really awful swedish but approximately 'Yes, but he truly
sucks again' (Bush about Bin Laden again)
"Du dr full med rdttighet" = 'You're full of righteousness' (this is
a slight in-joke referring to the usual Kung Fu movies, whose
translations include the word righteousness in about every
sentence)(Blair to Bush)
"Och med jacka och hagel i hdl" = 'And with a jacket and buckshot in
his heels'
"Kommer Yassir och avrdttar dig" = 'Yassir comes and executes you'
"Hon stjdl min cigarr ej hdr" = 'She doesn't steal my cigar here'
(this is where it gets totally incoherent)
"Och Gunnar ndr rdcker det?" = 'And Gunnar, when is it enough?'
(equally weird)
