Britain defeated in Iraq
As the British troops retreat from Basra in preparation for a withdrawal from the war in Iraq, a bit like Dunkirk, but more like Vietnam, Gordon Brown claims Basra withdrawal not a defeat. Surely, you are not claiming that it is a victory? Strategic withdrawal my arse! We've had our arses kicked, and we're going home to lick our wounds.
UPDATE: This is too good to be true...
"Hello Pal,
I hope my email meets you well. I am in need of your assistance. My name is Sgt. Morgan Reeves Jr. I am a military attache with the Engineering unit here in Ba'qubah Iraq for the united state, we have about $25 Million dollars that we want to move out of the country.
My partners and I need a good partner someone we can trust to actualize this venture.The money is from oil proceeds and legal.But we are moving it through diplomatic means to your house directly or a safe and secured location of your choice using diplomatic courier services.
But can we trust you? Once the funds get to you, you take your 35% out and keep our own 75%. Your own part of this deal is to find a safe place where the funds can be sent to. Our own part is sending it to you.
If you are interested reply to Email: sgt.morganreeves@yahoo.com.cn
I will furnish you with more details.
Awaiting your urgent response.
Your Buddy.
Sgt. Morgan Reeves".
Apart from the grammatical errors, I am almost totally innumerate but even I know that if I take 35% from 100% it does not leave 75% it leaves 65%. Your sums, like your email doesn't add up...
A mixture of law, politics, autobiography and humour. Once described as "The Devilish Advocate" (Guardian), I do have the ability to provoke a response. Sometimes it comes from someone who uses a thought process, and sometimes from jerks usually associated with the knee.

ReplyDeleteIs Ba'qubah in Iraq or the United states? I don't get it.
Another point, why do you get sent spam of such high quality? I only get Nigerian emails and Burkina faso emails along with offers of viagra and penis enlargement ops. Its not fair.
zinzin: It's in Iraq. If it was an American, he would know that it is the United States and not united state. I don't consider it of good quality, the language and maths are crap. I've had the Nigerian ones. Now I keep getting the Over 50s retirement homes ones. I don't need reminding that I'm getting on...
ReplyDelete914 scam with current overtones. Its amazing what the w*gs will try, pity they donta spikka da hinglish so whell.
ReplyDeleteWhat you do is to open up the header in the email and put the sender I.P into a trace engine and it will invariably trace back to village or town in Nigeria.
F*ck*m
Had Brown and before him Blair stuck with doing politics and left the running of the army to the soldiers, things could have been so much different.
ReplyDeleteStill they are not the first to learn that lesson, even Churchill made that mistake.
Still watch the Brown spin machine whir into overdrive on this.
