U.S. offers Iraq Russian-made equipment
http://www.jewishworldreview.com |
The United States, in a goodwill
gesture, has offered to outfit the Iraqi
Republican Guard
with all new Russian-made
high-tech equipment.
"Russia's track-record for excellence in
high-tech manufacturing is legendary," said an
unnamed Pentagon spokesman. "That's why you can
hardly walk into an electronics store anywhere in
the world without seeing shelves bulging with
Russian-made electronic devices."
Russian President Vladimir Putin denied the
existence of any deal to provide such equipment
to the Iraqis.
"We categorically reject the accusation that
Russian factories produce high-quality
electronics," he said.
