    War reparations!!! It's the answer!

    Ok, all this tulipe we've been going through in Iraq and Afghanistan, it's cost the British tax-payer billions.

    Now we've conquered Iraq and nearly conquered Afghanistan, can't we install a big pipeline and pump out all of Iraq's oil to compensate us?

    Just a thought...

    What we really need is reparations from the Labour party and it's collaborators.
    How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

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

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

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

          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.

            Yep, from both sides of the equation.

            Have you?

              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.
