Iraqi Documents: Our Friends, The Russians
Captain's Quarters ^ | 7-07-06 | Captain

One of the reasons that the DoD may have sat on the captured IIS files without translating or releasing them, some speculate, was that the contents may embarrass some of our allies in the overall war on terror.

Russia's just pissed that with the fall of the Iron Curtain all their "hot chicks" were exported here.

Yep, lots of hot Eastern European girls have left that region...cuz they can.

I am sure there's a study out there advocating a correlation of hot, attractive, free, gals to instability and angst (or lack thereof) within a specific region.

The words "friends" and "Russia" are pretty much exclusive things based on American history.

It really won't change anytime soon either.

But like many others are saying........send over more hot chicks!

I am continually amazed at how quickly FReeper men can turn a thread about a serious political topic into a discussion of "hot chicks." ;-)

I was going to make a joke about France and surrender, but I forgot and moved on. But if your question is serious, the Wolcker Report revealed the French Government had an alliance with Saddam in Iraq and I think that France would continue to support any regime to the detriment of the US. In that case, it seems to me France has sided with the interests of China and Russia over the USA's interests. IMHO

I think it's tied into "refrigerator blindness,", but I'm not entirely sure.

There has to be a link somewhere.
