The Brits have a long history of being great warriors. This proclivity may seem to have become dormant with the onslaught of socialism gripping their country, but I doubt that it really is.
The moosie cop should have been canned, not mollified.
While even some conservatives no longer support the war in Iraq against the terrorists, I do, and I maintain it was a brilliant stroke to draw many of them and their new militants into one general location instead of appealing to or paying fair-weather friends and reluctant supporters to clean them out of their countries. I couldn't care less is Saddass's WMDs were modern or not or present in large numbers - Iraq was the best place to stage this.
I'm glad somebody else get's it. It's called AWR in the military unofficially. Allah's Waiting Room. There's one in Iraq and Afghan. Like roach hotels. Someone referred to Iraq as a Motel 6 for terrorists before we arrived there.
Al Quaida said over 4000 foreign fighters were killed in Iraq. That's a lie. The real number is around 60,000 between Iraq and Afghan. Why doesn't the DOD release the body count publically? I know it because I know someone that's retiring soon. It's not classified as Secret or Confidential. Get it out there!
