The ACM however did not speak out in public,

"And in briefing notes obtained by The Daily Telegraph and published on Tuesday,"

or is it now a case of I don't want to know??? from our Prime Minister?

"My message to our Armed Services on Armed Forces Day is a really big thank you. You should be proud of what you do, because the whole country is proud of you … Britain’s Armed Forces are brave, are professional and they are a great example to our nation - thank you."


(Prime Minister David Cameron) from Armed Forces Day 2011 WebSite

Has anyone else here ever heard of the phrase 'Speak truth to power?' Just wondering, as to me it is an example of being (morally) courageous, professional and setting an example. Oh well, enough talking, best we get back to fighting.

And just like magik....


.....up pops another chap!

"Just 24 hours after the Prime Minister rebuked military chiefs for publicly criticising the Government, General Sir Peter Wall, the Chief of the General Staff, suggests in a television programme that Mr Cameron’s 2015 “deadline” to end combat operations could slip."

I am getting the feeling now all 3 services are finally talking to each other and planning a strategic attack on the PM, he is showing signs of weakness and people can smell it.

Like the Prison sentence farce, as leader of the coalition he would know exactly what is suggested or is planned, you get the feeling he cannot make a decision to save his life and rather than look bad he gets the likes of Ken Clarke to announce it...... see's what the backlash or public opinion is saying, then steps up to the podium and gives out the what was Ken Clarke thinking drivel and we will not do this whilst I am leader....... and it is not the first time!

No hairy spheres.. you need a decision, a correct decision and someone to stick with it, but this guy left his spine at home and God knows where his brains are.....

The "you do the fighting and I will do the talking" is about right, all mouth and no trousers.
