Incidents of 'friendly fire' are not confined exclusivly to the American military UJ.

Nah.. I'm done with it Mark.. I know it would be useless anyway so I'll not waste my time..

And it's a shame too.. Because this is a very interesting topic...yet apparently it's too much of a temptation for someone to get nasty. Pity..

Audrey darlin' - I didn't 'beg for help' in 2003. In fact, I campaigned actively against ANY involvement in Iraq. I regard both Bliar and Dubbya as war criminals as are each and every one of our Members of Parliament, U.S. Representatives and Senators who voted with them too. They took us to war contrary to international law and without the necessary sanction of the United Nations. I also campaigned against UK's involvement in Afghanistan too.

Re: Syria - US ships move in!

There is always this threat of Russia VS America. Nearly everything that the US would like to show it's strength upon is curtailed as Russia is bolstering up the opposing force. Providing arms to these factions and countries is huge business but don't half carry some far reaching consequences. No-doubt the unrest will peter out eventually and the Middle East get some much needed equilibrium but then again maybe not. A show of force could well be needed to get them all to calm down, but how can that be carried out without escalating the crises? Crazy bunch of m****** f******.

Re: Syria - US ships move in!

If the American Government stopped propping up the Israelis and allowed the Palastinians back into their own land again, things would eventually settle down and much of the dissent and unrest in the Middle East would dissipate.

Not according to Gibraltarian officials we didn't - it was, according to them, a military exercise that had been planned months previously. Who's to say it wasn't.
