Fly in Iraq

Obviously there will be a requirement in Iraq for helicopters. My question is:..Who does it?

Not the UN (Why should they?)


Not the French (non explanation needed)

Or Germans and Russians (nein, niet)

Americans and British..(too much jobs for the boys)

Australians (only good for roping roos)

N.Zealanders (as above but deer)

Canadians (logging..we're good at that)

S.Africans (unlike me, much too prejudiced)

Irish (Let us sort ourselves out first)

Scots (hate English too much to help anyone else)

India (diaspora..spread too thin to make any difference)

Phillipines (helicopter pilots..we sing and serve no thanks)

South America (Don't care..too far away...and better facilities)

Iranians (We would love that job)

Syria (Saddam Insane..come to our asylum)

Turkey (Madman Hussein..we have a better one)

Israel (There is a solution here and we know the answer)

Saudi (I think we have too many problems here before we can look to sort out those of our neighbours)

THE REST OF THE WORLD (let us try)

The Africans.
They could apply for UN aid and with the $2,000,000,000 aid they could supply half a dozen second hand Mil 8's.
The balance would be caught up in admin, you understand

How bout us Mexicans?

We'll BYOB (bring our own beer)

But now that I think about, it would be hard to get Mexican Pilots down there . . . . . . the iraqui girls are always overdressed, and they don't drink beer in large volumes.

Forget I mentioned it, what's the use if there's no REAL fun involved?

So that's what they mean when they talk about 'Bush Pilots', you learn something new every day. Who said we ' were not a highly educated mob'?
