Yes, the British aren’t worth anything in a fight any more. The Iraqis flat out despise them. Many of the mistakes early in the war were due to U.S. officials listening to British moslem “experts.”

The Iraq war would have gone a lot better without the rest of the “coalition of the willing.”

Hah!

Can I assume you no longer want our forces fighting in the same theatres as your good selves?

These troops coming home will only get sent straight out to reinforce an Afghan war that is under-manned, and not glamorous enough for some.

Afghanistan is where the battle is now, so the sooner we send our lads out there the better for everyone.

Or would you rather we sent all our lads home?
