Fat-Cat Irish Politicians Too Fat for Flak-Jackets - No Kabul

category national | miscellaneous | other press author Sunday November 07, 2010 19:48author by Saoirsí Report this post to the editors

"Read to Beleive"

"They can't go to Kabul - because of overload!"
"Irish legislators can't go to Kabul, because they don't have bullet-proof vests in their size."
"Read to Believe: They can't go to Kabul - because of overload!"
"Read to Believe: They can't go to Kabul - because of overload!"

The popular Mexican newspaper, Reforma, reports today - Sunday 7th November, 2010 - that some Irish legislators or politicians have been prevented from going to visit Kabul, Afghanistan. The reason? We don't apparently have bullet-proof jackets that will actually fit them.

Perhaps the rest of us are not the ones who need to tighten our belts?

Unfortunately, we don't have subscription access to the full online story - please, feel free to update us with forthcoming information below.
