WTF 2???

Sorry about the double posting folks , my PC seems to be playing up.

destruction,

Taffy, you really get a slanted view of the things that are happening here from your news. As far as Fahrenheit 911, what a joke film that was. Made by a radical nut bag, that was booed off our local University campus by protesters. As far as Britain's pledge, thanks but, where are you ?

Where are we? Well I may have missed something but I could have sworn thousands of our troops are out in Iraq right this minute?

Taffy

Right.

working quietly behind the scenes, getting things done while 'others' are high-fiving, 'kickin-ass', loving themselves and accomplishing very little.

And coincidentally did anybody see the news on BBC1 or ITV last night? Britain is sending a further 3000 troops back into Afghanistan to prevent the Taliban taking control again and to prevent the terrorist training camps reforming, there's also thousands more from other European countries too. And according to the papers today, by July the British troops stationed there will peak at 5,700. I hope they catch Bin Laden, try him and execute him, preferably live on TV so we can all cheer!

Taffy

Wow, 5,700....an army. And yes, bin laden should rot in hell.

I think you'll find that is plenty. It's not about trying to make a show, it's about getting the job done.

History shows us we can overcome large forces with small groups of well trained people, look at Rourkes drift, 100 vs. 4000+ & most of the Brits walked away.

Steve.

Well 5,700 British troops, there's also going to be thousands more troops from other European countries heading there too and my heart goes out to them all because I know I wouldn't want to spend time in those countries.

Taffy

By Keeping our numbers low, there will be less British casualties from so called "friendly fire" from the Americans,

Fitzy

I wouldn't use Rourkes Drift to often as an example, as if I recall my history the rest of the regiment had already been wiped out to a man. The Zulu regiment that attacked Rourkes Rift was mainly made up of older warriors that had already traversed quite a distance on foot running all the way.

Now the British regiment did fight well, however if the Zulu king had so wished he would have ordered his men to wipe out the rest of the garrison at Rourkes Rift as well. Sorry Steve.

Regards Peter.

Oh, you blokes will be okay now, both Yanks and Brits, the Aussies are increasing their numbers in Afghanistan. The Taliban and Bin Ladens mob know their in trouble now.

Regards

Peter.

Lets hope so!
