i dont think any of the true facts will come out, but the intelligent amongst us will know that the two guys being back safe on base is far better than being in the hands of local militia.... there is no argument about that..
It is truly sickening to see our guys in that situation and the whole country seems to be on a downhill slide - thats my opinion from being there, and not from the media.
Bush and Bliar have alot to answer for, and when they both retire(hopefully soon) on their massive pensions and the gravy trains they will be on, our guys will still be there.
Either we back them to use their judgment to protect themselves(when surrounded by angry mobs pelting them with petrol bombs) or we pull them out.
(ABIW fully agree with you mate.)
