Default Britain invades Iran

April 1, 2007

"The United Kingdom invades Iran, due to the escalating violence and the execution of one British hostage held by the Iranians. So far Britain has sent tanks, warships, and is currently executing a bombing campaign on Tehran. The US has barricaded Iranian borders. All of the previous invasions have built up to this. When Tony Blair announced this, he had this to say, 'It's time to teach those bloody wankers a lesson. Nobody ****s with the Britons and gets away with it. Not the Romans, not the Scots, not the French, not the Germans, (Maybe the Americans have but...), and definitely not the bloody Persians!'. US Congress has not allowed the US to go to war, but merely impose strict sanctions on the country. This is probably best for the US right now, since they are fighting already in Iraq and Afghanistan. The US is standing by and will support British troops if any support is needed, though."

Just swell, huh?

France (Normans) conquered England after the battle of Hastings (1066 ad) and replaced the Saxon Aristocracy with the Norman Rule and Aristocracy...

Romans conquered England and were only stoped at the borders of Scotland where they were repelled by the Highlanders... thats where the Romans named the babarian tribes of northern britiannia "Celts".... Hadrians wall was erected to keep the Scots out.... England was under Roman rule till 3rd (i think) century approx...

LOL,

Z, McCain is a RHINO. To me there hasn't been a republican party since 2004. They have abandoned their values.

McCain isn't my name, nor does it represent him, (John McCain) in any way, shape, or form.

Who would you vote for Z? Toncredo?
