Reply to: War reparations!!! It's the answer!

[shaunbhoy]

Well as we are talking about War reparations, I still reckon the boxheads must owe us a fair few shekels. And the Russkies too, as we gubbed them in the Cold War!!
And the Belgoons ought to supply us with free beer and chocolate as we only entered WWI to save their Phlegmish necks. The Poles can chip in some hot totty and industrial strength vodka for WWII and then the economic picture will look a lot rosier.
Come on...........cough up you bunch of losers!!

Can somebody seriously tell me why we can't confiscate Iraq's Oil as "Spoils of War"?

because Iraq didnt start the "war"?. Besides, "we" are probably confiscating their oil as we speak.

I can live with that.

Are you going to bark all day little doggy or are you going to bite?

[Churchill]

Yes, and it's a big one.

My mistake

Yes, and it's a big one.

[Churchill]

Are you serious?

I should've answered...

F**k you SERIOUSLY AtW, you haven't got a clue - again!

My mistake but I guess that answers your question in the affirmative.

[AtW]

F**k you AtW, you haven't got a clue - again!

Are you serious?

[Churchill]

No you didn't - if you thought from side of Iraq, Afghanistan then you'd fine that it is Britain that should be paying them massive war reparations.

You asked...

Have you thought how hard it is to protect pipeline from sabotage?

Yep, from both sides of the equation.

Have you thought how hard it is to protect pipeline from sabotage? The main reason it did not happen as much was because local guerillas were paid off to attack other targets - Americans and British as well as civilians.

Have you?

[AtW]

can't we install a big pipeline and pump out all of Iraq's oil to compensate us?

Because the Americans did the conquering so they're having it.

We were merely the useful lackey who policed Basra for them.

What we really need is reparations from the Labour party and it's collaborators.
