ME, don't bother. Thanks to some top level slagging, from Generals, on both sides, who should know better, we are in danger of opening up a rift with our closest ally.
This is nonsensical. Our enemies around the world must be rubbing their hands.
Fact, due to political failure we no longer have enough troops, equipment, aircraft, helos, to fight on 2 fronts. Call it mission accomplished, whatever, UK Armed Forces have been driven into the sand by underfunding and reductions in manpower and are achieving little in Iraq. Time to leave.
There is no point in picking a fight with our closest ally. We do not want to be driven into the arms of our European "allies."
