    Iraq war finally a success?

    Have been speaking to this posh Iraqi chap whose family fled here well before the war. He has been back recently and reckons that the war is becoming a success even if it wasn't before. Hmmmm...
    Hard Brexit now!

      Iraq has been a success from day one - except for Iraq of course.

        Are you sure? Perhaps most Iraqis support it. How would we know?

            No... Oil is more expensive than ever, shirley that’s a failure?
            Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

              Depends if you're into selling the oil etc. etc.

                  Dead right - he very foolishly started selling oil in Euros, and one of the first things the Yanks did after invading was to return to selling oil in dollars.

                  P.S. The Iranians have also started selling oil in Euros. ...
