Amerika'nın Irak harekatı son günlerde pek konuşulmuyor. Büyük ihtimal ABD Ramazan'dan sonra
Irak'ta bir güç gösterisi yapacak. Bu konuda çok şey konuşuluyor. İngilizce alttaki parçayı
buldum. Operasyon olurda çeşitli ülkeler nasıl davranır diye...İşin ilginci Türkler Yunanlılar
ile birlikte anılıyor ve paragöz bir izlenimimiz var.

Combined Strike Force
------------------------------------
There is a lot of talk about the United Nations creating a combined strike force with troops from several nations included in it.

Could it work? Let's take a look at one operation:
a combined force beach landing on a tropical island.
When the troops hit the beach.........

The Royal Marines go fishing.
The US Marines wait for CNN to arrive.
The French don't care whose beach it is; it's French territory now, and say the English gave them no other
choice.
The Canadians watch the Americans very closely, then offer to guard their landing strip.
The Dutch have a beach party and smoke some dope saying
the English don't understand them.
The Italians go sunbathing (in Speedos).
The Germans land and build a car factory.
The Chinese win the natives' hearts and minds then kill them.
The US Navy SEALs arrive after dark and kill anyone who is not a SEAL.
The Aussies and Kiwis land then start fighting each other over a sheep.
The South Americans send a contingent of 2000 generals.
The South Africans start shooting at anyone with a tan.
The Saudis start drilling for oil.
The Russians open a chain of massage parlours.
The Spanish are late.
The Portuguese are late but blame the Spaniards.
The Greeks and Turks turn up then send a bill to the Yanks and Brits.
The British Army cannot come because all six of them have the flu.
The Japanese don't know who owns what ships and decide to sink them all.
The Israelis start building a kibbutz and shell the Palestinians as a precaution.
The Irish Army will be late because they say they are still celebrating St. Patrick's Day.
The Scandinavians like it offshore and stay there killing whales for the Japanese.
The Polish tunnel under the beach looking for coal.
The Palestinians say it used to be theirs but the English gave it away.
The Mexicans invade Arizona by mistake, then lay down for a siesta.
The Swiss apply for a bank charter.
The Swedes just want to screw.
The Rumanians and Albanians finally arrive and surrender.
The Pakistanis build a Motel Six, a convenience store and a gas station.
Geoge W. Bush doesn't know where the island is, so he orders the U.S. Airforce to bomb Hawaii.
