Pravda: Thousands of Russians volunteer to defend Iraq
2003-03-11
Prava apparently translates from russian into english as "huge grain of salt"

Around ten thousand Russian citizens have applied for entry visas into Iraq to defend this country against the planned aggression by the warmongering USA and UK, according to the Iraqi Embassy in Moscow.

Iraqi Ambassador to Moscow, Abbas Khalaf, declared last week that the Embassy had received around 3,500 requests, a number which has multiplied in the last few days, according to sources in the same Embassy.

The requests come from young males, some with combat experience, who describe themselves as “volunteers” who are willing to defend Iraq against the illegal armed aggression of the USA and the United Kingdom, two countries which continue to follow a belligerent stance on crisis management, wholly outside the generally accepted concepts of a New World Order based upon multilateralist approaches to problem solving, based upon the United Nations Organisation, a position championed by president Putin’s Russian Federation.

For those who present an adequate reason for travelling to Iraq, the Embassy provides a visa and transportation, free of charge.

First time as tragedy, second as farce.

#2  Yeah, and they're lining up to go fight in Chechnaya too...this is hilarious nonsense, but maybe they can team up with all the Arabs who'll be pouring in to defend Iraq, any day now.

#1  "Pravda" = "Truth"

Truth is, they're toast! They better be bringing plenty of Prozac.
