    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.

    The drama unfolded last Monday as the Para batallion tested mortars and artillery weapons to make sure they were working properly.

    The Iraqis found a way across the fortified border, which is sealed off with barbed-wire fencing, watchtowers and huge trenches.

    so what exactly is France afraid of? Liberal Democrats claim Iraq will be a long drawn out war. Considering that in 1991, Iraqi soldiers surrendered to an Itlian film crew, and even today, they are trying to surrender, that claim defies logic.

      Shut the hell up. Every time any story is posted, some dipshit shouts out "This isn't 'News for Nerds, Stuff that Matters!' Hahahahaha! *sniff* Can't believe I'm a forty six year old virgin... *sniff* "

      You don't like it? Don't click the damn link.

      Seriously, the best thing Slashdot could ever do to get rid of trolls (besides banning my IP) would be to "white out" the 'News for Nerds. Stuff that Matters.' on the bottom of their logo. Or not allow the moronic title "New for Nerds. Stuff that Matters?" as a post title. Jesus.

      The point here is, shut the hell up, and just scroll down past the link. You bothered to click it, then move down, then click 'Reply', then type your redundant bullshit.... AH... look, just die and we'll both be happy.

      Yes, we need more war coverage.

      Because a) everyone is dying to know what the nerd position is and b) its so hard to find war news on general news sites.

      If Slashdot doesn't cover it, it may escape everyone's notice!
