You have got to be kidding me.
BAGHDAD Iraqi parliamentarians are demanding Israel pay billions of dollars in reparations for a 1981 Israeli attack on an Iraqi nuclear reactor, Baghdad’s daily Al Sabbah reported on Thursday.
Mohammed Naji Mohammed, a member of parliament with the United Iraqi Alliance coalition, is leading a campaign for a parliamentary resolution obliging the Iraqi foreign ministry and courts to seek billions of dollars in reparations for an Israeli air strike on the Osiraq nuclear reactor, the newspaper reported.
Fine. No problem. But first, Israel wants reparations for the bombing of Israel during the first Iraq war in 1990, as well as reparations for the payments Saddam Hussein made to the families of suicide bombers. After Iraq does that, Israel will think about paying for Osirak. And then the people who think about it will laugh, go to the nearest bar, and have a drink to honor the pilots who stopped Saddam Hussein from going nuclear.
Shorter Meryl: Does the phrase “When hell freezes over” mean anything to Iraqis?
Reparations for destroying a reactor that was overtly intended to produce nuclear weapons to drop on Israel? Here in Detroit we would give that a two word response. The first word would be, “Sheeee…” and the second a neuter pronoun.
