Here’s our jaw-droppingly sick 2-minute leftist hate of the day, at the Guardian’s “Comment is free” pseudo-blog, where journalist Neil Clark argues that Iraqi translators working for UK forces are “traitors,” and should not be allowed asylum in Britain.
Instead, Clark hopes they’ll be slaughtered by the “true heroes” of Iraq. Yes, really.
Comment is free: Keep these quislings out.
The interpreters did not work for “us”, the British people, but for themselves - they are paid around £16 a day, an excellent wage in Iraq - and for an illegal occupying force. Let’s not cast them as heroes. The true heroes in Iraq are those who have resisted the invasion of their country.
As Seumas Milne wrote in yesterday’s Guardian: “More than any other single factor, it has been the war of attrition waged by Iraq’s armed resistance that has successfully challenged the world’s most powerful army and driven the demand for withdrawal to the top of the political agenda in Washington.” If more Iraqis had followed the example of the interpreters and collaborated with British and American forces, it is likely that the cities of Iran and Syria would now be lying in rubble.
Before you rush to condemn Iraqis who feel ill disposed towards the interpreters, ask yourself a simple question: how would you view fellow Britons who worked for the forces of a foreign occupier, if Britain were ever invaded? History tells us that down through history, Quislings have - surprise, surprise - not been well received, and the Iraqi people’s animosity towards those who collaborated with US and British forces is only to be expected.
Those who cheered on a brutal, murderous assault on a third-world country that was always going to result in mass loss of life would now like us to believe they are concerned over the fate of 91 people. But what I suspect worries the pro-war brigade most is not the future of the interpreters but that future military “interventions” may be jeopardised unless Britain promises citizenship rights to locals who collaborate.
“Let’s not overlook a practical military issue here: who will ever work for the British army in a war zone if they know that later they will be tossed aside like a spent cartridge?” asks Adam Lebor.
There is a simple answer to that “practical military issue”: let’s do all we can to keep the British army out of war zones. And in the meantime, let’s do all we can to keep self-centred mercenaries who betrayed their fellow countrymen and women for financial gain out of Britain.
If that means some of them may lose their lives, then the responsibility lies with those who planned and supported this wicked, deceitful and catastrophic war, and not those of us who tried all we could to stop it.
The war must be lost at all costs.
What about those who partner with the US to fight the invasion of Iraq by Al Qaeda and Iranian trained forces?

Aaawwww, Clark is so cute. Just for being a traitor, I am sure the Jihadis will kill him last.
The self proclaimed “pacifists” are nothing genocidal, bloodthirsty totalitarians. They don’t reject wars or violence. They only reject it when the West is fighting. They can’t get enough of barbaric revolution, butchery and civil wars. There is a special circle in hell for them.
correction:...nothing BUT genocidal...
I thought Neil Clark would be too busy running Eharmony to get involved in this kind of stuff.
From The Guardian... "The true heroes in Iraq are those who have resisted the invasion of their country."
A condition of citizenship here should be to renounce the terrorists. WE don’t even ask them to.
>>>>>What about those who partner with the US to fight the invasion of Iraq by Al Qaeda and Iranian trained forces?<<<<<<
Now now, don’t go sticking logical thought into a perfectly good lefty hate America rant.
Bullseye!
The moonbats never cease to surprise me with their ignorance and stupidity.
We don’t even make them speak English.
“Before you rush to condemn Iraqis who feel ill disposed towards the interpreters, ask yourself a simple question: how would you view fellow Britons who worked for the forces of a foreign occupier, if Britain were ever invaded?”
Well, let’s see. If they were occupying Briton (or in my case, the USA) to convert us to Islam, I would feel like they should be put to death. If they were occupying the US to FREE us from Muslim repression, I would feel like they are heroes.
Does that make sense, @sshole?
LOL!

Neil Clark.
The comments on the page are overwhelmingly against the writer. Which makes me feel a whole lot better about my countrymen.
