US leads the way, always in any international conflict. Damn british left this town to “ tribal elders” and it became an al-qaeda/taliban infestation... We are taking it back and doing things the right way. Just shows we can’t count on Nato or the EU for jack. Sick and tired of this war, its been going on for way too long. Time to bring out the big guns and get down to business, nuke the f*ck out of tehran and damascus!

I can’t complain about any help we received from the UK. If thats all they could do, then so be it. At least they did something. Their soldiers and countrymen shouldn't be smeared because of what their pols decide.

They say that as if it's a bad thing, "The latest in a series of school shootings..." but when it's Taliban blood, this is a good thing. It smacks of desperation on their part (and, come to think of it, on CNN's part too).
