Pack all our personnel into planes and ships and bring them home forthwith. Why should any more of our young men get killed and maimed to save this dastardly govt's face. Things will turn out in the long run the same with or without their presence. How many wounded have had a visit from Brown or Bliar in hospital. That's the measure of appreciation these poor boys get from these hypocritical opportunists.

So Mc Broon says its going to be safer now we have handed over Basra to the Iraq people. How can this man be so stupid we have armed them and trained them and are giving them Billions in money to blow up UK soldiers. Pull out now and leave them to it, this will have to happen at some point and most of all stop giving Islamic nut cases money to kill us when the money could be better spent here.
