SHAME

10.03.08, 2:30pm

If this war is so essential, why are our fellow Nato nations,with exception of USA and Canada, not doing their fair share ?
I cannot believe the money is going on improving safety over there, either for our Forces, when we see them in unprotected vehicles, with inadequate equipment.
We see they get little in the way of compensation.
The truth is, we are held hostages by the Americans, who will not let us leave Iraq for politicial reasons.
They claim that our forces are needed to keep their supply lines open, so that they can get their cokes, or whatever.
They could use private firms.
Bring our boys home now.

"FEW PEOPLE WILL OBJECT TO THE INVESTMENT BEING MADE IN BETTER FACILITIES AND EQUIPMENT FOR OUR TROOPS IN IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN.

Almost all of this country object to our troops being there in the first place!

The exception being this pathetic dictatorial government headed by an unelected leader.

THIS MUST STOP!

We can not afford to be the police force of the world. This nonsence must stop. We are no longer the Emporers of vast parts of the world and thank god were not. This illegal and unwanted war must stop, if Bush and his cronies want to bankroll such stupidity then let him but spending so much money whilst screwing the tax paying public is gross mis management of our ecconomy.

AFGHAN AND IRAQ COSTS YOU THE TAXPAYER £3BN

Has'nt Tony Bliar's illegal warmongering done us all proud.

We are left to pick up the tab whilst he swans around the grateful American lecture circuit making himself millions of dollars by telling them all HOW HE SCREWED BRITAIN AND GOT AWAY WITH IT.

Also bear in mind that Gordon and his Incompetence Party were complicit in all this.

THEY ALWAYS WIN / WE ALWAYS LOSE
