Don't mind me; I'm just the straight man for this routine.

(Look at all the replies to my post making the same joke.)

These guys have been waiting for weeks to surrender. When the UN guys left, they probably just snapped.

I'm just about there myself.

If true, maybe the word got out about the holes in the fences, smart move in getting this information out. Maybe the holes in the fences where done with this exact purpose with an exit sign.

Ok, now I will don my tin-foil hat and my flame retardant leisure suit.

Could these Iraqi soldiers be infected with a biological agent and be exposing our troops to something potentially lethal?

If you are asking about the leaflets dropped,they are current.

You can find a bunch posted at:

They appear to be up-to-date to a March 6, 2003.

Gang, the minute this starts, you are going to see Iraqi units surrender EN MASSE..this is like Germans swimming the channel to surrender to our LSTs the night of the 5th. This is going to end quick!

I saw on the news tonight that more artillery had just arrived in Kuwait, and the Americans were practice firing. Maybe the Iraqis thought it was the real thing.

I have read elsewhere on FR that someone said on tv yesterday that some Iraqis have tried to surrender but we have to send them back because the war hasn't started yet. They are poorly clothed and underfed. It's a shame we can't take them in (assuming this is accurate info, which I cannot vouch or source) but I think I see the point. You can't have POWs yet if you don't have war, I suppose.

they could..but I bet these are the low guys on the totem pole that are expected to get slaughtered first and they know it.
I didn't really understand the significance of the holes but maybe this was it.

I don't understand this. if someone in afghanistan wants to surrender we could take them and we aren't at war with them.

Maybe they are french soldiers who heard a big war was about to start and rushed to Iraq to get in early on the surrender--sort of like the folks who camped out for three days to get the first tickets to The Two Towers.
