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.

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.

re : we don't need the fig leaf and they will be leaving soon.

And you will be going out there when ?.

Tony part of the fig leave earlier this year

[tonycavanagh]

Please come to Britain come to London and use the words slink and fig leave to my face please do come

[Slipperduke]

Max, I'm going to leave more appropriate Redcoats to deal with your 'slink' and fig leaf' comments.

I'm only here to point out how extraordinarily apt your tag-line is.

[tonycavanagh]

You are a total prat so report me for making a personal attack, just be thankful you did not make those comments in my company or any other serving or ex member of the British Army.

And for your information they requested by the American military, unless you are stating that the American military were interfering in your elections by requesting fig leaves.

I am signing of now but just to reiterate my first point you are a prat

[processing please hold]

I was posting with someone on a thread about that very thing.

I said only three had been killed, we have over a thousand. Before The Black Watch went in to relieve our soldiers, they made a smart-assed remark 'The americans made a mess of it'.

I'm sorry they were killed, but that pissed me off when they said it. They were nice -n- comfy in Basra.

I bet they have changed their minds about it now. I think their commander should apologize for that comment.
