This much is true: there are large badgers in Basra. Local farmers have caught and killed some of the animals {video}. But the rumor is that they were introduced by British forces. Local vetrinarians are trying to assure the public that badgers have been around for decades. Link -via Fark, where badger jokes are running rampant.

Badgers? We don't need no stinking badgers!
The critter in the video looked smaller than the garden variety badgers that inhabit these parts. But the giant badgers... gotta be another brainchild of Bush. Or at least something that'll be blamed on Bush.

The interviews of the badger attacks victims are great..
“I saw it three days ago at night attacking animals. It even ate a cow. It tore the cow up piece by piece. I tried to shoot it with my gun but it ran away into the orchards. I missed it,†he said.
I think it's really space aliens wearing badger costumes.
And there's a typo..
vetrinarians --> veterinarians

It's not Eurasian badgers though (as pictured above), it's Honey badgers (Ratels) that they are worried about.
