Kornet missiles and now this. Some people are still a little miffed over losing the cold-war. BTW: I was going to post it earlier but it was still in Russian. Check out the pics.

Just like the gajillion Palestinians, Syrians, Iraqi expatriates, etc, etc,
... PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE ...
come to Baghdad for the weekend!
And try to pick-up as many Iranians, Chinese, and No Koreans as you can on the way.

Thanks for posting this! That goes along with the post I did earlier about Russians still being in their embassy in Baghdad and mad because we bombed near their embassy!

========= Iraqi television =========

Iraqi TV boasts that they have Russian antitank 'technology,
given after OK by Putin himself..

---

========= Terrorist Enabling Russian =========

On the trail of WMD/cruiseMISSILE/GPS-jammers/-selling Putin,
Putin disingenuously denied that Russian firms sold military equipment to Iraq
because there were intermediaries.

Next time the Chechens attack you, and you look for sympathy and help:
Tuff $hit$ky, Commrade.

I wonder which worries them more. The fact that we have found this out, or the fact that what they taught the Iraqis seems to have mattered not one iota.

[lawdog]

PATTON was right. We are gonna have to kick their cabbage asses sooner or later. Putin is showing his true colors, KGB-mafia all the way! Kill the aid packages and watch them implode.

...But sure wish we had some now to wash down the extra servings of humble pie.

I do not believe that Putin is a man to be trusted. W needs to rethink his special relationship with Putin. This stinks to high heaven.!

[lmavk]

They sure didn't teach them very well!

Will the Russkie Generals put Iraq on their resumes?

[SteamShovel]

Putin looks like a corpse

[spectre]

If I were paid to "advise" the Iraqi forces:

Based on their performance - I would not put this on my resume.

This is great! We can see that they must have really provided some good strategy to help Iraq!! LOL!!!!!! I think they were using the tactics the Russians used against Napoleon. Fall Back! Fall Back! Fall Backs! OOPs too far back. They got that part right- but the rest of the plan?

[mykdsmom]

I sure hope that GW will put a stop to his chumming up with Putin and quit extending those cozy little invites to his ranch and Camp David.

At least they weren't stoopid enough to ask for Soviet vintage economic advisors.

[swheats]

Vlad, it must be all about the benjamins. Money brought them together, but millions can't make them friends.

[ApesForEvolution]

Russian pigs.

Is there a Starbucks in Baghdad?
