Georgia says underpants ruin Russian image


Georgia has demanded that Moscow quit part of a military base on the Black Sea, saying the sight of Russian troops drying their underwear is ruining the reputation of its former imperial master. "They are drying their underwear, and the remains of a once-great army are lying around on their armoured vehicles. I do not think this is good for Russia," President Mikhail Saakashvili said on Georgian television on Thursday.
