Where is another Defence Buffoon "Doctor" John Reid? The man who observed that we would be in and out of Afghanistan in 3 years without a shot being fired! Where do we find these people?

It cracks me up how the government & mod get slated on here constantly (and rightly so IMO) yet anyone that thinks their decisions (same idiotic thieving dishonest government) to send troops to fight wars for BS reasons are either against the troops or in some way disloyal to the country (when in actual fact the opposite is the case), tossers.

Defence ministers since the year dot have tried to cut whatever was in place on the day they arrived - oddly enough they also all lie like cheap Changi watches.... a palace revolution failed, so in the normal course if events the revolutionaries will now be executed in various interesting ways. Serves them right, if they wanted to be treated as human beings they shouldn't have become lying scumbag ratbags... sorry, I meant to say 'politicians'.
I think Brown should stay, he's the best chance we have of getting rid of labour after all.

I for one do not care what happens to him but plead with him to bring Brown down with him!!!! He must have some great stories to tell and if that gets Bliar jailed as well - all the better.
I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could
I wonder how Buff really did at the MOD.
Like Healey before him, he served a full 5 year term, before they fitted revolving doors to the office.
I am not trying to defend him but I wonder whether he was actually not as ineffective as we thought.
