Does this guy understand what terrorism is all about?
What the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie Scotland a bunch of "nothing"?

The Brits are not going to be able to hang in Sunni land. They will slink back south with their tails between their legs. It was a bad idea to ever have them move into a dangerous area. The soldiers are influenced by the anti-Americanism of the rest of the country.
Still, I am thankful that they came and helped us when we needed them most, but they were never anything more than a fig leaf. Now that the election is over, we don't need the fig leaf and they will be leaving soon.

I wish it were only one, but I think the fellow expresses the attitude of the British Army in Iraq, soldiers as well as officers.
The Black Watch is a great outfit, but everyone is at least partially a product of his or her environment, and these folks have been raised in an anti-American sewer. Too bad.

So I take it they'd rather have Bin Laden or Saddam as LE employers via the UN???????????
Our corruption is unending and unearthed by 911.... at least that's a start.

They are just angry as you'd expect them to be when a brother/son is killed.
Maybe if they were allowed to take these scumbags out and not have their hands tied behind their backs (waiting to die), it'd be sorted out sooner. No more Mr Nice Guy - it's time to show these devils who the hell they are messing with.
I really hope the US assaults in Falluja or wherever else are swift, massive and devastating. It's time we DID get all our troops home, the best way being to sweep away the scum that are killing them.
I'm angry today too - but only at the one's who are killing our brave soldiers.

I wonder if he knows that there is a movement by Muslims in Great Britain to strike the Union Jack and replace it with a more PC flag?

How much longer are we going to need to assign this war the silly title "The War on Terror"? I know its more politically correct than what it actually is but id like to see the problem recognized and confronted head on. This is the war on islam and that is going to have to be recognized before it ends.
To: Max Combined
Per capita the death rate is almost identical.
Oh, and head to any military town here and use words like "slink" and "fig leaf" and see what it gets you.
To: tonycavanagh; tjwmason; Slipperduke; rogermellie; pau1f0rd; BritishBulldog
LOL! Make that REDCOATS!!!

To: Max Combined

No, he probably knows that that was a Guardian joke that the UK Nazis seized on and tried to pretend was actually happening. Anyway, it's the Union Flag, not the Union Jack. p-)

What do you think of post 4 this is the kind of cr*p that really pi**es me off.
And its an insult to America as well that the Americans need us as a fig leave.
