Prior to the start of the Iraq war, the United States issued Saddam with a series of ultimatums. The US went so far as to state that should Saddam fail to act before a specific date and time war would be imminent.<\/p>\n

At the time I remember thinking that if someone declared war on me and provided me with the same information that the US gave Saddam, I would use it to my advantage. If for instance my enemy gave me 24 hours to surrender I would wait patiently until the 23rd hour and launch a full attack on my unsuspecting enemy. <\/p>\n

That was all just a passing thought; after all, I never imagined anyone would declare war on me, until now<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It has come to my attention that Nick<\/a>, or according to his full rank and title, Private Fatty Fatty Boom Boom <\/i><\/b> has declared war on two people, I, being one of them. He has already launched an attack on person number one and apparently I am next.<\/p>\n

I shall not wait for him to launch his attack\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c2\u00a6I am going in first\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c2\u00a6<\/p>\n

\nI shall go on to the end. I shall fight in our blogs, I shall fight in the main posts and in the comments, I shall fight with BLOCK CAPITALS and angry smilies everywhere \ud83d\ude21 \ud83d\udc7f , I shall defend my blog, whatever the cost may be I shall never surrender.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
