The Command Post - Iraq - Some Saudis are crossing the Iraqi border

April 13, 2003

Some Saudis are crossing the Iraqi border - both ways.

Same Russian site cites a Saudi paper, saying that at least 3 Saudi volunteers were killed in Iraq. Also, about 130 Saudi citizens returned home from Iraq, and 270 more are expected to return. Those are mostly Saudis who married Iraqi women and stayed in Iraq, or just came to visit family before the war started. Saudi minister for iternal affairs Naif-ben-Abdul-Aziz said that the status of the Iraqi wives will be determined following a case by case review, while the children will be granted a Saudi citizenship very soon.

Having airbases and troops in Saudi makes the invading them all the easier.

How ironic is it that I'm watching Big Fat Greek Wedding?

How about we make "My Big Fat Iraqi Wedding"? Oh, it'll be comedy gold!
