The US state dept. is to ask about 50 countries for 'contributions' in the event of a war in Iraq. Although the list of countries who are to be asked has not been published, a spokesman for the Canadian government has said that the US state dept. has sounded the proposal out with them already. Does this mean that we will now have to pay for the fuel that the US warplanes are taking on in Shannon? Just you wait and see...

They are refusing to state which countries are being approached. What do you thing Bertie and his allsorts in government would say if asked? I have no doubt that they would hand over money and sod what the country thinks thats what they are doing anyway!
Well our foreign allsort is meeting richard haas today, and is meeting Colin Powell on Monday in Washington, hopefully somebody will ask him what they were talking about when he comes back eh? maybe all the cut backs are been made so we can pay our way with regard to the upcoming slaughter......
Cowan will only give blood money to his yankee overlords, if he or some ff crook is allowed to cream a little off for themselves.
