BAGHDAD, 28 March 2003 — The Iraqi regime is sending trucks on a dangerous mission to the provinces to provide food supplies, including fine flour to make sweets for beleaguered residents, a government minister said yesterday. “We will continue to work even amid the American bombings, under shelling ... the convoys are going to the provinces without any kind of military protection,” Minister of Trade Muhammad Mehdi Saleh told reporters.
Yeah, that's just what the residents need - candy.
Anyone want to bet that some of that white powdery stuff might be laced? "Here Mr Nice US Marine, have some Candy..."
Or is Saddam just trying to bait the coalition forces into stopping aid conveys for propaganda value?
