Belgrade, 21 Dec. (AKI) – Serbia has signed a deal to export weapons and military equipment to Iraq worth 230 million dollars, defence minister Dragan Sutanovac told Belgrade television late on Thursday. Sutanovac said that the delegation of the Iraqi defence ministry visited Serbia on two occasions in recent months and the deal was signed with the state military trade company Jugoimport SDPR. He didn’t specify which weapons had been sold to Iraq, but Serbia produces only light arms and ammunition in the Zastava weapons factory in Kragujevac, 100 kilometres south of Belgrade. The former Yugoslavia had a strong military industry located in several republics before its breakup in 1991. The value of military exports then exceeded two billion dollars annually. Production was halted by the disintegration of the country, however, and only small segments are still operating in Serbia, Croatia and Bosnia. The Zastava weapons factory suffered serious damage during the 1999 NATO bombings, but production resumed several years later. www.adnkronos.com/AKI/English/Security/?id=1.0.1695739583 |

Just one of those tanks costs about 4 million, and that's in dollars, not real currency like rubles. www.cnn.com/2008/US/02/01/military.suicides/index.htmlAnd the rate of suicide and suicide attempts by american soldiers is abnormally high, and the government tried to lie to the public about it. |

I`m sure USA wapon industry is happy to see such thinks. I mean that`s why they are there...oil and weapon companies sponsored Bush so this means producing more new tanks and earning more money from tax paying residents of USA... |

Iraq costs them 10 billion a month.
That is the most important statistic. Their economy would implode sooner or later, but with them in Iraq they are bringing that day forth much faster.

ever hear about juba sniper of baghdad ? it was on youtube and after cnn make report about it these videos was completly removed. In these u could see how he killed many soldier with dragunov. He use simple tactic hit and run.
Also I believe that causalities 3000 soldiers in 5 years are not true.

24 June 2008, Tuesday An explosion rocked Tuesday a municipal building in Baghdad's Sadr City neighbourhood, killing six Iraqis, two US soldiers and two civilian US Embassy employees. The blast occurred during a meeting of the district advisory council, an Iraqi Interior Ministry official said. US troops detained a suspect in connection with the attack, as he was captured "fleeing the scene and tested positive for explosive residue," the military said as cited by CNN. The explosion follows a Pentagon report issued Monday that touted a sharp decrease in violence in Iraq. A total of 4,106 US service members were killed since the beginning of the Iraq war. www.novinite.com/view_news.php?id=94454 |

BAGHDAD: With the prospects for agreement on a proposed American-Iraqi security pact in doubt, the idea of allowing United States-led troops to stay under a United Nations mandate resurfaced this week, and Russia's foreign minister told reporters that his country would support such a plan.
There had been speculation that Russia might veto an extension of the United Nations Security Council resolution authorizing the foreign military presence in Iraq, in part because of frustration with American foreign policy in other parts of the world, notably support for the independence of Kosovo and the defense of Georgian claims to two breakaway enclaves.
"We'll support Iraq's request to the UN Security Council if the Iraqi government asks for the mandate of the current international military presence to be extended," said Sergey Lavrov, the Russian foreign minister, the RIA Novosti state news agency reported.
Lavrov spoke Monday as he traveled to New Delhi from Yerevan, Armenia. He said Russia was convinced that an immediate and complete pullout of international forces from Iraq was inadvisable, RIA Novosti said.
While the significance of Russia's announcement is difficult to determine, it does remove one potential barrier to extending the resolution, which expires on Dec. 31. Whether the Iraqis would consider such a path is unclear, but with widening criticism of the proposed pact, at least it opens the way for another approach...
Russia is being an enabler of U.S./NWO policy here.
