"And spare a thought for the poor Iraqi Army. As London's Sunday Mirror reported yesterday, 'Terrified Iraqi soldiers have crossed the Kuwait border and tried to surrender to British forces -- because they thought the war had already started.

"The motley band of a dozen troops waved the white flag as British paratroopers tested their weapons during a routine exercise. The stunned Paras from 16 Air Assault Brigade were forced to tell the Iraqis they were not firing at them, and ordered them back to their home country telling them it was too early to surrender.'

Awf'lly sorry, old bean. Try again in a fortnight, there's a good chap."
