Blogging politics, culture, sociology and life from Brisvegas
Some of that hair product must have seeped into Dr Nelson’s brain. As he rejected British plans to cut and run from Basra in May (is it a coincidence that Blair will be leaving around then?), the Defence Minister indicated we wouldn’t make any move without consulting with the Romanians. But I think when Dr Nelson comes calling they’ll be busy meeting with Bono.

Hilarious!
He manages to talk about “our allies” without mentioning the US, in favour of the might of the Romanian war machine.
Also, keep it up with the Bono shit. I think it could stick.
Will do, FDB. But I’ve got to go meet with Bono right now.
Well, we’re in fine company. Bulgaria, Albania, Romania, Estonia. The fight for freedom with our great and powerful friends goes on and on: http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/ops/iraq_orbat_coalition.htm
And how are those Poms anyway. I thought we all understood that setting a withdrawal timetable was playing into the hands of tourists.
The Brits say they’re leaving because they won, or at least will have won by next May.
Australians are posted in a mostly empty desert.
How come Australians haven’t won already when all they have to fight is sand?
No wonder we lost the Ashes.
Also, keep it up with the Bono shit
Bononia?
Everyone:
And just think, with a teeny weeny bit of planning, with war aims that went a little bit beyond simply making a few scoundrels even richer, with mobilizing everybody to get the Iraqi economy up and running again ….. everything could have been so different.
Well, Romanians are cool. They always do what they are told, they kiss ass like no one you’ve ever seen (and I mean NO ONE) and they let their soldiers get killed in the name of US UK Romanian cooperation, while the general population thinks the Iraq war is a complete stupidity. But hey, they are used to doing stupid stuff all the time.
