h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

The WARRRR is over folks ! What are we arguing about now ? Lets make it something constructive . Like who should get the contracts to rebuild the cities and amenities in 'you know where ' Cuold it possibly be that the Yanks will get them all ? EH?
Did you all see the latest news from raqi? The people are rising up in protest already ,calling for 'America out'
Tommy Mac

I agree with you, Peachy - I am not exactly my usual reasonable super-diplomatic self over this! Frustration rules okay!

Yes, Tommy, I saw that in our local paper this morning. But will *they* take a blind bit of notice? Will they heck as like!

I just what you did with the name of the American VP, Peachy! Your use of language is clever and brilliant!

To Della
So Della ,They will have to postpone the next war for a little while until they sort out those pesky raqi's.
As George Dubya would say,'The natives ought to be eternally grateful to us for 'liberating' them.
By what right do they dare call for our brave boys to vacate what is now in effect another of our outposts.
All we did was drop a few bombs after all .
What was it all about again ? To get rid of those weapons of MSS DEST ?.Or was it to overthrow the Current Regime?
Who were we fighting again ?
Never mind , it will come to me as soon as one of my advisors tells me .I know it was somewhere with lots of sand .
Next time we will find a better location for our war.We have to keep the boys comfortable y'all understand '.
Tommy Mac

I saw Mr Dubya on the TV news last night saying something irrelevant about the Iraqis as 'freed slaves'. It is to laugh, as Bugs Bunny would say!

Oh, indeed, Tommy. I often feel that Mr Bush isn't quite sure where's he is up to on the world-conquering schedule...

Della
Maybe his daddy can tell him *smile*
But then his daddy was'nt so clever either. When HE had the chance to get rid of the RAQi regime ,what did he do ? He withdrew all his forces .
So the son is setting out to correct the fathers mistakes and he has'nt the brains to do anything for himself without advisors.
I honestly believe he is a very dangerous man.
Tommy Mac

not to mention about how he erm got into power and how his borhter should have had an investigation on the voting in his state but didnt

Well I was'nt going to mention that.
Are we seeing the beginning of a new dynasty I wonder .
I read in the papers that he is willing to spend 180 million dollars on his election campaign. This despite the fact there is no other Republican candidate willing to stand against him .
Fear or what ? Retention of power is the only conclusuion one can draw, but I expect his brother will once more see he is elected .
Tommy Mac

After all ! He did not defeat the RAQI's *S* .Like father ,like son .
Saddam is still on the loose .
Tommy Mac

has that fact been confermed? i'm really trying not to listen to the news, but last i heard that was a rather ambiuous peice of info?

Dorian

Dorian
Well he certainly is not in custody. His country is defeated yet he still plays peek a boo .
My inclination is that he will turn up in exile in another country and use mercenaries to carry out some terrible crimes .
I doubt if he can ever return to 'you know where' but his money and suicidal followers can still wreak havoc .
Tommy Mac
P.S. Im glad you have stopped swearing

"Retention of power is the only conclusuion one can draw, but I expect his brother will once more see he is elected .
Tommy Mac"

I have no doubt that's true, Tommy...

uea sorry i got dirty typing habits, i type the way i talk, and sometimes in certain circls i drop the F bomb too often.
but thats not the point the point is, do we really know if SH is still out there? No. just like we really don't know if Bin Laden in laying dead under a bunch of rubble somewhere or if he is trying to raise another army.

The policy is no more!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tango

I think it might be better to consider it as a suspension of hostilities. I don't think the mind of anyone high up in the BBC has been changed. As soon as something else happens the policy will be back.

This *specific* policy is no more. Future conflicts will probably still have the same policy.

Tango

The daft thing is there are loads of conflicts going on at present, more people have died recently in the Congo then have died in Iraq. Yet because the U.S. & U.K. are ignoring that particular conflict we can talk about it.

Also, Nepal, Tibet, Vietnam with the killing of the Montagnards, Cambodia, Chechnya, Sierra Lione, Uzbekistan, Iran not forgetting the mass abuse of street children in Eqypt and theres many many more.

We could talk about all of those, except for the one high-profile conflict.

Yes, its over for now, but as soon as there is another high-profile conflict it will all happen again.

Wretched, isn't it - all of it.
