BBC:
WRONG: It is FAR from hopeless. The surge is already working - and all the force elements haven't even arrived yet. And the Iraqi Army is still improving every month. Giving up now is RIDICULOUS.
Repeat: The insurgency is NOT A RESISTANCE to occupation; it is an attempt to OVERTHROW the LEGITIMATE, CONSTITUTIONAL, ELECTED government of a UN member state which has REQUESTED WE HELP THEM.
Leaving them in the lurch would be COWARDLY, TREACHEROUS, and only strengthen their enemies - WHO AREE ALSO OURS!
[ASIDE: The personal loss for each family is HUGE, and I send them each my condolences and thanks for their grief and noble sacrifice.]
FACT: NEARLY 4 MILLION SOUTH EAST ASIANS DIED AS A DIRECT RESULT OF THE USA PULLING THE PLUG ON THE SOUTH VIETNAMESE GOVERNMENT IN 1975 - WHICH WAS A FULL TWO YEARS AFTER THE VERY LAST US COMBAT TROOP LEFT VIETNAM. THERE WAS A BLOODBATH.
(And making it all so much more sad & pitiful is the fact that NOW the Vietnamese want US investment. Investment they could have had WITHOUT A WAR, since 1965. Had they gone that route in 1965, then they'd be as well off as South Korea, instead of being a basket-case with more in common with NORTH Korea!) [More on Vietnam, HERE.]
ACCORDING THE THE IRAQI GOVERNMENT - AND EVEN CNN CORRESPONDENTS STATIONED THERE IN IRAQ - THE BLOODBATH WILL BE WORSE THAT WHAT HAPPENED IN SOUTH EAST ASIA! AL QAEDA AND IRAN AND THE SECTARIAN RADICALS WILL UNLEASH A TORRENT OF VIOLENCE WHICH WILL MAKE DARFUR AND RWANDA LOOK LIKE PICNICS IN KENSINGTON PARK. (More HERE.)
WHAT MAKES THIS ALL WORSE: (1) This idiot is not alone, and (2) his falsehoods went unchallenged. Not surprising; it was - after all - on the BBC.
Shameless. Shameless, traitorous, cowardly scum.
Gen Sir Michael Rose also told the BBC's Newsnight programme that the US and the UK must "admit defeat" and stop fighting "a hopeless war" in Iraq.

Iraqi insurgents would not give in, he said. "I don't excuse them for some of the terrible things they do, but I do understand why they are resisting."WRONG: The insurgency is NOT A RESISTANCE to occupation; it is an attempt to OVERTHROW the LEGITIMATE, CONSTITUTIONAL, ELECTED government of a UN member state which has REQUESTED WE HELP THEM.

The total number of UK troops killed in operations in Iraq stands at 147.147. IN FOUR YEARS?!? IS THIS COWARDLY BRITISH T*RD TELLING ME THAT THE UK CANNOT ABSORB THAT KIND OF MINUSCULE NATIONAL LOSS!?!?! If he is then he is also telling the enemy that they can attack them anywhere/anytime and EASILY WIN.

'Admit defeat'AGAIN: AL QAEDA AND THE BAATHISTS ARE NOT FIGHTING AN EXTERNAL EMPIRE; THEY ARE FIGHTING A CONSTITUTIONAL ELECTED GOVERNMENT IF IRAQ.
Sir Michael has written a book drawing similarities between the tactics of insurgents and George Washington's men in America's War of Independence.
He told Newsnight: "As Lord Chatham said, when he was speaking on the British presence in North America, he said 'if I was an American, as I am an Englishman, as long as one Englishman remained on American native soil, I would never, never, never lay down my arms'.
"It is the soldiers who have been telling me from the frontline that the war they have been fighting is a hopeless war" - Gen Sir Michael RoseI THINK HE IS LYING. THE BRITS ARE ALREADY LEAVING. THEY HAD IT EASY IN THE SOUTH - WHERE THINGS WERE FAR FAR FAR BETTER THAN IN ANBAR OR BAGHDAD. I ASSERT AGAIN: THIS TRAITOROUS COWARD IS LYING.
He said it was time to bring troops home.THIS IS IDIOTIC: THE UK HAS ALREADY ANNOUNCED THIS!
This meant the UK government would have to admit defeat, he added.IF THE UK ADMITS THAT AL QAEDA HAS DEFEATED THEM, THEN THEY ARE ONLY ASKING FOR MORE OF THE SAME - NEXT TIME IN THE UK.
"The British admitted defeat in North America and the catastrophes that were predicted at the time never happened," the ex-Bosnia UN chief said.IT WAS BAD FOR THE BRITISH EMPIRE. JUST ASK FRANCE.
"The catastrophes that were predicted after Vietnam never happened.THIS IS THE MOST SHOCKING AND HORRIFIC AND IDIOTIC AND MISINFORMED FALSEHOOD IN THE ARTICLE!

"The same thing will occur after we leave Iraq."What an ignorant as*h*le!

ReplyDeleteExcellent.
Britain once had a proud military tradition. Gone.
At this point (considering how they screwed up Basra) they are not even qualified to be our spear carriers.
My guess is that the Tommys are fine. It is the Generals who are rotten. A fish rots from the head.
For the forseeable future it looks like it is us and the Ozzies.
Again. Great post.
thanks.
ReplyDeleteright now the brits have ZERO leadership.
Sarko and the Pope are the best and only hope for Europe - along with the Danes.
Steyn was right: AMERICA ALONE... with the Danes and the Aawesome Aussies.
THE CHIEF REASON: inho: socialism/postmodernism - it disarmed Europe, made it rit from within. THE CAUSE OF POSTMODERNISM: the revulsion and self-hatred that arose after WW1.
the european intelligentia cames to see europe as a bad thing. they have raised most of the succeeding generations of europeans to believe this.
this is why the pope is key.
he knows this but has yet to do one effective things about it.
if he would allow a married clergy it would help.
he could do this. easily.
like changing the teachings on "LIMBO."
then, the continental europeans need to be anglo-americanized, but they need to be told it "Austrianized" and "Hayekianated."
the chances of this happening - and of europe remaining opart of the West beyond 2020 - are LESS THAN 50%.
so... i guess i see this as a widespread and depp problem. not jusy the general.
if the brits were really PRO-WEST, then there'd be at least one political party with this as a central plank.
the BNP is too racist to be taken seriously.
pity.
thanks again for the compliment!
