Thousands of Russians volunteer to defend Iraq

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.

Interesting.

After the top notch work they have done in Afghanistan and Chechnya the Russian fighting man is truly fear inspiring. < /sarcasm>

Looks like Saddaam's got some front-line trops to absorb our first volleys....

Russian Muslims ready to fight on Iraqi side

[steveegg]

Ah, more human "shields". I didn't realize that Russia had an overpopulation problem, or that they kicked the Chechen's <expletive deleted>. </sarcasm>

I wonder if the biblical phrase, "Cut off your onse to spite your face" has any Russian equivalents that Putin would understand. I doubt those Chechens will take the defense of their Arab brethern into account in their march on Moscow.

This is pretty funny coming from Russia

[openotherend]

"Now, we're all confused! Do we go leftski or rightski after we leave Russia?"

[TimPatriot]

These are probably Russian Islamofacists that they would love to eject. Putin will be grateful if they get to see a MOAB explosion up close and personal.

[samtheman]

Just when we thought Iraq couldn't get any more target rich...

Things are really looking up.

Now perhaps the good citizens of Berkeley could mobilize an Iraqi defense force...

[JohnOG]

How about a MOAB explosion for our "friends" in the Kremlin??
Putin ain't an ally...I wish people would finally see that...but even with Russia's increasing hostility to the US...people's eye are still shut....

I think that it is Chechens who are applying to fight for Iraq. If that is the case then Putin will be very happy to let them go.

[putupon]

Putin ain't an ally...

BUMP

[ricpic]

Pravda calling the US and UK warmongers. Has anything really changed in Russia?

[Rain-maker]

Calling all Saddam sympathizers.

[JohnOG]

PUTIN AIN"T AN ALLY!!!!
You got it!!! Spread the word here on FR....there are so many Freepers who love Putin it is sick and scary...at least from my experience here on FR which is limited...
Thanks, John.

[Enduring Freedom]

What kind of day is it when one shot takes out Islamofacists and Communists?

A great day.

Pravda. I'd wipe my arse with their newstories, but I might get electrocuted without the print version.

Can you spell P-R-O-P-A-G-A-N-D-A?

I can...B-U-L-L-S-H-I-T.

The only telling thing about this piece of crap is that it's Pravda printing it, therefore it can be assumed that it is supported by Pooty-Poot, who is no ally of the United States, regardless of what the administration says.

[Kenton]

Ummmm... anybody have any idea what ever happened to those 10,000 or so (according to them anyway) Pakistani "jihadis" who went to Afghanistan to help the Taliban? Aren't most of them just a smear in a mountain pass in the Hindu Kush?

[BlackElk]

A welcome opportunity for ideological trash disposal.
