Subject: RE: BS: What's REALLY Going on in Iraq?
We have our own idiosyncrasies, Wolfgang. We understand the concept.
Even if - as seems likely- that a colloquialism was incorrectly literally translated, it still implies that Iraqi army uniforms are plentiful and easily acquired. Why should that be? If they are on the black market it indicates they are marketable- are people not in the military parading around wearing army uniforms>
Chilling thought- wearing an Army uniform might make it easier to infiltrate the ranks of Iraqi Army or to gain access to Coalition forces...
