'Young declares 'victory' with Iran'

British Prime Minister Patricia Young has said the UK and her
allies have prevailed in the Battle for Azerbaijan in a speech at
Camp Sarisu on her tour of British forces in the Middle East,
ahead of the Conservative Party conference.

Explicitly linking the conflict to terror attacks in London in her
speech, Ms Young blamed the former Iranian government for their "blatant"
and "disturbing" links to terrorism.

She spoke of victories in Azerbaijan, and said that the time was "right for
Iran to reform and rebuild as a nation."

"The conflict is a victory in a war against extremism and state sponsored
terrorism." She went on to thank the "courage and professionalism" of
Britain's fighting forces.

Ms Young landed at the camp in the early hours of the morning, attempting to
capitalise on high poll ratings and the success of the military operation.

Earlier, Ms Young's spokesperson Jonathon Greening warned that the Prime
Ministers speech would not necessarily mark the end of hostilities "from a
legal point of view".

Ms Young's announcement was based upon an assessment given to her from both
British and US generals. The UK currently has over 25,000 troops stationed
in the Middle East, the second most numerous after the US.

'Iran failed'

"The days of the tyrannous Iranian regime are over. The regime was rotting
from the inside and has been dealt a final and damaging blow by coalition
forces. They have failed in their attempts to intimidate us; by
terrorism, by propaganda and by force." The Prime Minister was speaking to
British troops at the camp.

She went on to welcome a "new, prosperous and fair Iran" to the world, and
was determined in her support to the people of Iran.

Ms Young said that although conflict had ended, it would not spark the
return of British troops.

"We have a duty to the Azerbaijani and Iranian people," she said. "To help
them rebuild and recover from the occupation of a tyrannous regime."

She continued to thank nations that contributed troops to the
war, stating that the world is "a safer place for their efforts and
sacrifices."

Actions:
1. Whistle stop tour of British forces in the Middle East!
2. Meet and great the troops (and generals, from all nations)

Nothing else really, planning to get more gritty posts out soon. ;-)
