Their vaunted military leaders say they can't beat Iraq. Oh, please. That has got to be the saddest, most pessimistic thing I've ever seen in my life. And that's saying alot because I'm on this site regularly. :-)

I continue to be amazed that officers are speaking out in public concerning their civilian leaders re war. This is totally a no-no. What are these "political" generals afraid of? You take orders from your superiors and carry them out, otherwise, GET THE $&^% OUT OF THE MILITARY! if you cannot obey your orders. No one is holding you in. Get out you bunch of pu**ies!

Britain's military leaders issued a stark warning to Tony Blair last night that any war against Iraq is doomed to fail and would lead to the loss of lives for little political gain.

Uh, exuse me upperclass twits, don't you remember that we and you (and even a few Froggies) kicked the Iraqi Army all over the place about 11 years ago? This was at a time when Iraq's army expected to beat us (or at least inflict tens of thousands of casualties), had all of its equipment, and had lots of fairly recent battle experience. Now, they have much less equipment and personnel, their air defences are seriously degraded, they expect us to clean their clocks and we have even more of a technological advantage than we had then. What's the problem, you testicularly-challenged idiots?

Defence sources said that, without Saudi cooperation, it would be difficult to launch a sustained attack by American and British forces.

So we let some corrupt, perverted desert sheiks decide our policy because preventing nuclear, biological or chemical attacks on innocent civilians in our homelands would be "difficult?" Where is Churchill? Where is Thatcher? Instead, you Limeys seem to have collectively had a bad night with Lorena Bobbit, without the restorative surgery that John Wayne Bobbit later received.

Underlining their fears of a military strike, senior armed forces figures will warn the prime minister this week that without a leader-in-waiting to take over from Saddam, there is little chance of any successful move to overthrow the Iraqi dictator.

So, therefore, we should never have invaded Nazi Germany because Hitler had no leader-in-waiting to take over from him? Gee, that makes sense to me - NOT! Stupid morons, you decapitate Iraq's leadership and then install an interim leader of your choosing for a couple of years - and warn him and all successors that they will meet Hussein's fate if they travel down the same road.

Foreign Office officials have said it was unlikely that America would be satisfied with simply sending United Nations weapons inspectors back to Iraq.

Well, as usual, the Foreign Office has it wrong. America will be quite satisfied to send in UN weapons inspectors - that is, as long as you can consider about 500,000 American military personnel with "UN Weapons Inspector" armbands to actually be UN Weapons Inspectors. We would even be glad to pay the UN $0.02 per armband as a royalty.

'We believe the Iraqi regime continues its biological and chemical weapons programmes.'

Do you stupid ninnies have to wait for attacks on your own soil that cause tens or hundreds of thousands of deaths to realize that this modern version of Hitler must be stopped NOW?

In a further sign of British military anxiety...

...the British Army surrendered to three smelly old French women and a nasty poodle.

They've forgotten who came to their aid in '17 and '41.
