It just seems that at a time when we actually need to all sit down and ask how we can fix things so we can disengage without having to go wading back in, we're all trying to justify GB's unspoken aspiration to extract. He may not like the Armed Forces, but he should be damned proud that so many young me are still ready to answer the call. The war may or may not have been right, but those in uniform have unstintingly answered the call and done the best they can with the limited resources they have been given. If we withdraw now and leave the mess behind - what have we achieved? It is all just so our Government can distance themselves from the mess they created. We have set things up, but until we can staunch the flow of the Shia malitias and the support they receive from over the border, can we really claim 'mission accomplished'?
