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.
Probaly another human shield story. Plan on thousands, end up with a couple hundred, get back on the bus and drive home for safety.
considering the state of the Russian economy these days, they are probably better off in Iraq anyway.. Go for it guys...a few less ex-Commie soldiers..
