They are at it again

The list of benefits for which the Iraqis are to express their undying gratitude is certainly a long one, ain't it Walter?

Yes, it really is. (Remembering that I didn't do my daily public "Thank you USA" for Care parcels, the Marshall plan, the chewing gum, Lucky Strike, chocolate .......)

Yep. Dont forget British 3 pin electrical plugs. (pity about the supply though) And until recently bright red double decker buses ex London transport.

And tea.

And the greatest gift of all..the English language

I thought at first, you meant cricket.
(But why did you forget football? - Oh, I forgot: the Iraquian national football coach is German, an ex-commie, too.)
