Halleluyah! Oil deal with minimal loss of life

Unlike in Iraq and Afghanistan (and elsewhere, but who has time),

the oil politics of the West only cost 270 lives, THIS TIME.

What am I talking about?

That was the cost, in lives, of the oil deal with Libya.

Is anybody counting the bodies in those other places?

Byline: Oil deal between UK PLC
(otherwise known as 'BP and its democratic partners')
and Libya

I know that the world is fighting a war on terror, but terrorists are pawns
just like everybody else.
I think that Britain signed over Megrahi to get an

oil&gas deal with Libya.
Rather cheaply, too.

Reminds me of the beads the Indians got for Manhattan Island.

Anyway, let's look at the other collateral 'costs'.

270 lives.

The people killed on Pan Am 103.

Not bad for an oil deal. Look at Iraq and Afghanistan.

They've cost the UK 400 soldiers and millions of quid, not to mention

the innocent civilians they've killed and maimed [but who's counting them anyway].

So, you pissed of the Yanks!

Well, when are John Bolton, the CIA and the FBI NOT pissed off.

Who cares? All that counts is
you Brits beat 'em to the oil this time!

Cheeky monkeys!

And remember,

the crude shall always flow, until it's all finished,

my friends.
