Afghanistan

Visible to anyone in the world

with reference to my earlier posting #146 I have now heard that parliament will now have a special debate on Thursday to discuss Afghanistan. I commend your blog, in that to be honest my comment was off subject, but it would appear to me that your moderators understand the anger there is with parliament on this and other issues.

As soon as Brown uttered the words that he will wait until August before possibly committing more troops then an MP should have noticed what I did as soon as the words were uttered. They do seem more interested in their own words than listening to what is said. It was obvious that wednesday will be the last PMQs before their break, and that if there are problems during or after the Afghan elections then parliament must be recalled for a full debate and vote before any more troops are sent.

As for Reid then for him to say that we would not be the aggressor and that we would be happy if a shot were not to be fired, then he must have agreed the form of words with the Prime Minster before he uttered them. So, if we go into a district which we had ignored since the invasion of 2001, then he seriously thought that we would not be seen as the aggressor. There is also a problem with the timeline. Apparently we went into Afghanistan in 2001 to keep terror off the streets of London. Home grown terrorists then proved that aim to be wrong, the July bombings are proof of that. So, we went in to keep terror off the streets and failed. We had been in Afghanistan since 2001, yet when did the bombings in London take place, so our mission failed. So we are reinforcing defeat, something which any military officer educated in Sandhurst will tell you that they are taught not to propose.

Sadly, Harry would not be sent be sent to Iraq for his own safety. So what did the idiots do, they sent him to Afghanistan, where he wears a cap 'we do bad things to bad people' and he is shown operating a computer calling up an air strike. Now if that is not an aggressive act then I do not know what is. Furthermore, all this is recorded, but because of an agreement with the media, all of this is kept from the British public, for his, and the troops who had to protect him, from harms way.

Now then, it would appear to me that the resources which were utilised to protect a Prince of the realm, the Queens grandson, should be likewise employed to protect all of our soldiers from harm. Where is Harry now. Why not on our screens telling us how if he is not there with his men then he will leave the army.
