What's the middle east got that principle doesn't? Can't be oil anymore - frak the fuck out of Surrey.<br /><br /> The Kurds seem alright and that's the main thing and Assad is the only tyrant who seems to give a fuck about the Christians. Cameron's just given Albanians free passport to Blighty (as if they didn't already have it) but for fuck's sake - spot thine fucking enemy!<br /><br /> Anna Raccoon's got a thing about Blair calling any criticism of his initial decision to be 'irrelevant' - you'd kinda think with all his training he'd hav thought of a better word. Cunt - that'd fit. They had Paul Bremer on Rd4 - the 1st US Ambassador who terminated the Ba'ath Party although he didn't - and the cunt said that if Iraq hadn't been invaded then both Iran & Iraq would have nukes by now. He's probly right which is the dirty thing.<br /><br /> You really proper cheer me up, man.
