UK troops having once secured Southern Iraq and Basra have basically given up the war as a lost cause, are mainly confined to barracks and are waiting to go home this autumn.

Gordon Brown replaced Tony Blair today (who resigned esentially because of the failure of the Iraq war) and is not a true supporter of the war - just want's our troops home asap. GB has announced that Parliament, not the executive as before, has to approve UK going to war in future so no chance of that support without UK being under direct attack. Zero UK and EU support for anymore half baked campaigns led by USA donkeys. Tony Blair is to be appointed "peace envoy" by UN, USA etc to try to reach a Middle East settlement.

Anyone who wants another unwinnable war with Iran plus the Shia militias throughout the Middle East wants their brains testing.

Any newsreporter who does not know that the air space is secured and that AWAC planes survey that air space to pin-point target our anti-aircraft missiles is not worthy of the name "defence editor". The security services do not even talk to Parliamentary MPs, let alone the "Sun".

Bravo. Nice to hear from someone who is a world citizen and not full of isolated (and incestuously amplified) rhetoric.

Unfortunately, we as a nation and political leaders do not have the will to finish what was a brilliant tactical advantage initially with Shock and Awe.

As long as we must fight under political correct rules of engagement we should not ever enter another conflict. Americas historic campaigns by accomplished field marshals are now fought by pusillanimous commanders and chiefs.

The time honored military battle tactics of complete humiliation of the enemy and their civilian supporters as practiced by warriors in bygone days have long been relegated to the dust bin of history.

The shadows of General Sherman, Eisenhower and Patton have long ago left this theater.

No Fuel = No Fight

In spite of the madman who leads Iran and his rhetoric, how could that country ever fight a war? They don't even have enough gasoline for their own citizens.
No fuel = No fight They are sitting on huge oil reserves, but can't refine it.
A war against their army would be over in 3 weeks, as in Iraq.
That doesn't mean some type of aftermath wouldn't follow in the ensuing power struggle. Unless they start it, let's not go there. If they start it, let's finish it.

Hmm...a "world citizen", eh? Passport not needed to travel your Wally World?
Your birth certificate was issued by your Wally World? The currency you use was printed and issued by Wally World? Worldly citizen? Yes. World citizen? Not yet, but the United Numbskulls are working on it.

If you are a "world citizen" and get deported, where do you go?
