Våbenfund på Iraks gamle ambassade i London

Da diplomater fra det nyvalgte irakiske styre skulle overtage den gamle irakiske ambassade i London fandt de lidt mere end de egentlig havde regnet med:

Al Shaikhly told BBC radio Wednesday the arms haul, which dates from Saddam Hussein's regime, included four machine guns, 10 handguns and four silencers. The weapons had been found in one of the 20-odd safes at the embassy. .....

"There were also other things which looked like electric cattle prods," he added. Aside from boxes of live and spent ammunition, there were also telescopic cameras and bugging devices.

"I believe they must have been bugging their own people inside the embassy ... Such was the regime, it didn't trust anybody. Everybody was spying on everybody else," the ambassador said.

Karsten Cofoed fra Komiteen for et Fascistisk Irak mente ikke der var noget underligt i det:

Våbnene var jo til personlig beskyttelse (lyddæmperne for at overholde de strikse britiske arbejdsmiljøregler), og el-stavene var til det eksperimentelle kvægbrug den store leder havde udstyret ambassaden med. Alle ved jo at Saddam-folk ikke er andet end glade, socialdemokratiske cowboys.

Nej, ok, det fandt jeg selv på. Men du får tre forsøg på at gætte hvem der mon kunne finde på at sige sådan noget nonsens. Hvis du gætter på Carsten Kofoed fra Komiteen for et frit Irak er du nok ikke helt galt afmarcheret.
