great

Why are the Iraqis using T-55 Russian tanks?

The liberals keep telling me that our troops would most likley be kiiled by U.S. made weapons.

All I see on the news are AK 47s, russian Tanks, Russin mines.

And the hidden Iraq airforce is all made up of Chinese Migs and French Mirages.

Wher are the US Made M-16's, F16s and Abrham Tanks we supposedly supplied Saddam?????

"Why are the Iraqis using T-55 Russian tanks?"

Because the Iraqi army was equipped and trained by the Soviet Union back in the 1960s and 1970s. They use old Soviet equipment and used old Soviet doctrine. (Although recently, it seems they have decided to use Osama's playbook.)

"Wher are the US Made M-16's, F16s and Abrham Tanks we supposedly supplied Saddam?????"

We never did. Never supplied him with weapons. (May have thought about it during the Iran-Iraq war, but we never did. Besides, the CCCP was giving them stuff free.)

Just more liberal lies re where the weapons of war came from. Now we know more why Russia was against this war.

Re: T55 use: A lot of the Iraqi T72s blowed up real good when Norman and his people visited the sandbox. And those palaces ain't cheap.

I don't think we ever sold or gave any M1__'S to Iraq.
