Firstly let me say that this posting is in no way meant as a slight on the USA forces in Iraq who have lost many troops in an effort to smooth over a very big mistake by, as usual, bloody politicians. But for the life of me, would someone please explain to me how 650 Black Watch troops, as fearsome as they are, are going to make a difference in Baghdad. We sit in the comforts of our homes, sipping wine by the beach, playing with our kids or just studying our navels whilst this bloody carnage goes on. Blair promises The Black Watch that they will be home for Christmas, those that make it that is. Is it time for those that have taken the decisions to send the forces, to admit the mistake, bring em home, and sod Iraq. How many more hostages have to be buchered. Once the black stuff runs out will the same passion for freedom fighting still be there? I doubt it.eco/spider
