Starving Iraqis

JoeSmoe - you really are a funny guy. Thick as a plank and twice as blunt, but funny just the same.

Rude - I have to laugh; your idiosyncratic lines about 'envy' and 'jealousy' surface like a turd in a kid's paddling pool, and are just as welcome.  Well, at least you are regular.  Personally, I hate prunes.

Why not?
that equipment was all made in Russia, Ukraine etc. They did not stop sending repair parts for military equipment, but your telling me they stopped sending repair parts for the civilian equipment?

I guess there wasnt enough money involved to make it worth it to smuggle in eh?
