No we wont. we will win by doing what we always did. Sit back, and play one backward nation against another. Vis a vis IRan IRaq. Side with the winner. Its jingly blood, so who cares? Its only since airy fairy liberal "my heart bleeds" losers have got into power that we have intervened directly.
Because as far as I have seen with the time I have spent in the sandpit, life is very very cheap over there.
Oil is not a problem. Annex off iraq into 3 nations. If those in the south dont want to play its simple. Drill from kuwait. Our current policy of massive uncontrolled government expenditure will sink this nation long before oil contagion does. Just wait and see what happens next If the pound is devalued. Have you ever thought that oil is not in fact becoming more expensive(scarce), its just the dollar is becoming more worthless? Look at Zim for this example. Uncontrollable inflation. The credit crunch I believe was the start of something far, far more serious than it appears on the surface.
