GeoIntel: Saddam realised that the Iranians were the problem back in the early 80's and decided to invaid. Twenty years later we are back to square 1 - thanks to US.
You may ask, what has this got to do with Nimrod and pprune? I say everything. Nimrod is just part of the big picture. I get very angry because 14 good men lost their lives, and good men and women lose their lives on a regular basis; not defending Queen and country but (1) fighting poppy farmers that the CIA trained to fight the Russians and (2) fighting an enemy in Iraq that wasn't there before 2002.
We have limited manpower and money, it should not be wasted fighting Bush's war.
And before you say anything about "knocking" our troops, I am not doing that. Our troops are the best in the world, it is just that they are being directed by fools.
