More on the convoy from a Greek source...quite funny IMHO
Salonica, Macedonia, Greece 29/4/99
NATO convoys carrying "aid", invented new traffic signs in order to find their way from Greece to the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia: The new NATO traffic signs are black with a white bottle of milk and a white arrow pointing at the direction that the convoys should follow.
NATO convoys are normally targets of the members of the Communist Party of Greece (KKE). KKE members stop the convoys and vandalise them (their actions are fully supported by the greek common opinion, as current undisputed surveys prove that 98% of the Greeks are opposed to NATO actions).
This time, KKE members were more "inventive". Their new initiative's aim was to organise something that would completely embarass and humiliate NATO: They simply changed the positions of the NATO traffic signs, so that the signs were pointing at the... Open Vegetable Market of Salonica!!!
The unsuspected NATO lorry drivers followed the directions of the signs and when they saw the gate of the Open Vegetable Market and tought they were passing the gate of the... Greek borders and entered the market!!! Angry vegetable sellers "bombed" the trapped NATO convoy with rotten cabbages, lettuces, cucambers, tomatoes and other vegetables they couldn't sell!!! TV reporters arrived on the spot, so the whole incident was broadcasted all over Greece!!!
The entire Greek Nation laughs at the new NATO achievement.
If NATO faces such humiliations in "peaceful" Greece, then imagine what will actually happen in the hostile mountains of Yugoslavia!!! |
