I'm not extreme right wing, i'm just too lazy to present my opinions in a nice cozy way like Sirotnikov does.

I'm still the best candidate though.

I've already made you Minister of Foreign Affairs. Just imagine the hijinks of you dealing with the Iranians!

By the way, figured out all I'll only be in heathrow for 2 hours...probably not worth it, i suppose...especially if it's such a long drive. I'll be coming to England for more than 2 hours at some point, though!

Nah, the ones that blocked midtown NY traffic are wankers. No for them, just the innocent Iraqi people who have done nothing wrong

You don't love the Iraqi People. I have met several refugees here in Argentina (as this is where many went after the 91 gulf war)... and they all tell me it is better that Saddam is gone. Now they can plan to head back.

I say we give you the grand post of the Iraqi Deputy Information Minister. The old Information Minister should be reinstated. You two make a good pair in making people laugh.

this isn't meant to be an Iraq thread, so I won't go any further. Just agree to disagree with you.

I didn't put Sloww on there because he's not really an 'extreme' rightwinger. He's really not THAT much of a right winger, either...he's closer to centre, IMO.

One minor correction: I am not an extreme right-winger. I am not even a conservative one.

This poll is out of date. Lonestar has already been in control of Iraq for many years. He was elected by the hordes of Star Wars loving Iraqi citizens. The vote was unanimous. Everyone loves Lonestar. Lonestar is the greatest ruler that has ever lived.

The main problem, is not allowing parents to beat their children any more.
"Sir, the people are starving, and we have no food!"

Ned would be ideal, since he usually doesn't very circumstantially explain his motives (which would very quickly make everyone quite pissed), but is always cleverly looking for the best alternatives to the US goverment.

Frankychan voted for DinoDoc and is a traitor to the Lonestar loving people of Iraq, which is every Iraqi ever born. Frankychan will be shot for his crime. I have already shot him. Frankychan does not exist. I killed him fifteen years ago with the Golden Gun Lonestar has given me today.
