Poor buggers can't wait to give in, it seems.
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.

It doesn't look like it's going to be a hard fight.

Apart from the Iraqi Kurds, who are a bit pissed off with that nice Mr Hussein who has been playing with toys with them, and killed a few hundred thousand Kurds.
But then they don't owe the French a few billion euros, so they don't count, do they?
