Afghan disgrace

yes did mean imigrants but some people say different where i live

A WARNING.

I’d choose A…….The further they are away from me the better (for them I mean!!!!!!) Mark 😀 😀 😀

Adding to that, I would prefer not to engage that enemy. The present situation in Afghanistan and elsewhere, leaves us vulnerable to attack here. Using a little of that missing common sense, and pulling out, might make Britain a safer country, than it is at present. Or we can carry on as we are, and reap the consequences of our actions. I just hope things don’t get out of hand, the future of our country is at stake.

Depends on the enemys.

I must admit that my last response was not a serious suggestion, and I agree with you completely.

Defence strategy.

We could save a whole lot of money by adopting a high-risk stragegy, we move civillians and NATO forces from an area, then nuke it. Bye bye Taliban.

Or we could play safe and get out of there, which do you think is the best option? Going Nuclear is a very dangerous strategy, who knows what it would lead to. The chances of a Nuclear device being planted in this country is a worrying scenario, which is one reason why we need the Army here.

The way forward…

if you want british troops on our streets here this means declaring martial law wich in this country is ill defined to say the least lets face it when did this government do anything right wich brings me to ask this question- WHAY ARE THEY STILL IN POWER?

NEW LABOUR NEW CHAOS!

Wasn’t one of the TA jobs to guard our vital installations, in the event of a threat to national security. Like it or not there is now a threat to national security, and it will probably get a lot worse. So we need to build up the security, and deal with problems as and when necessary. Why are they still in power? probably because we don’t seem to be able to produce Politicians, that are good leaders anymore. The problems we face these days need 21st century solutions, plain clothes British Army units may be the way forward. This will free up the Police to concentrate on crime.
As we all know the security services are watching possible Terrorists, so lets get the Army to play their role in this also. Bring back our boys, to defend our Country, instead of wasting our resources.

To wage a war on two fronts, I would have thought is rather expensive. Not forgetting other parts of the world, where we also have troops stationed. If only this money was spent on things, that would make Britain a better country to live in. It would be far better to put troops back in this country, to deal with any future terrorist threat here.

not just expensive but foolish….The Uk doesnt have the manpower or the equipment to sustain such engagements.

Hasnt the UK given up the idea of being an empire? Does Tony the poodle realise that GW, and for that matter most American administrations, have short memories ?

“Special relationship ” ? ….crap! just PR rubbish!

well i maybe going to afganistan next year with my TA unit, all i can say is this to tony blair, STOP WASTING MONEY ON IMIGRUNTS! STOP WASTING MONEY ON POLICIES WE DONT WANT! GIVE US THE KIT TO FINISH THE JOB! so we can blow bin laden and his evil henchmen into the stone age, if the afgans arnt with us stay out of the way support your troops write to your mp complain about shortages complain about lack of cash they will answer eventualy

Presuming that Bin Laden is still there? and that he will hang about waiting to be caught?

and not being smart but did you mean immigrants? dont they have a place in Uk society?

and the only way politicians answer is at election time , thats the only occasion they give a damn !

Out of curiosity, the British government has deployed how many RAF Harriers into Afghanistan?
My next question would be this. The British Army has some 67 Apaches at their disposal and yet how many of these have been deployed in support of British forces in Afghanistan? Probably not enough of them. What’s the point of buying such technology if you’re only going to deploy them to various airshows throughout the country and across Europe. Send them out to Afghanistan where they will be put to good use.
A friend of mine is currently deployed with British forces in Afghanistan, this is his third tour and as much as I haven’t talked to him often due to his high-operations tempo, he has mentioned that more close air support would be a good thing. He is furious that he hasn’t seen more of Britain’s Apaches and more Harriers operating in their favour.
The Blair government needs to pull their heads out of their a$$ and do something to help those they have sent to their potential deaths!

They’re still in power because they won the last election.

That’s how parliamentary democracy works……………

It’s like the flies in my living room……….for every one that I shoot with my BB gun, another 2 seem to pop up from no-where 😀 😀 😀 Mark 😀

Fact is that it will be very difficult if not impossible to defeat such a well organised partisan organisation who are not fighting for a King,Government or even possibly a country…they are fighting for their GOD!

The money goes everywhere except where it should.

That’s true 🙁 🙁 🙁

I wonder where all our taxes go to????????

For instance, tax is deducted from my wages before I even get them, then the bank wants to charge me tax on the money in my account. Then you go out to a shop and buy something which means yet more tax included in the price so in the end I swear that you end up giving the government most of your wages and still the armed forces are not receiving the manpower and equipment they need and what about the NHS, the education system and the emergency services………..they’re also underfunded.

I got a letter from my bank once saying that they wanted me to pay VAT on the money in my account (I think). That’s 17.5% before I even take any money out. If I buy something from the shop again another 17.5% so I’m loosing over a third of my wages on just VAT, that’s without National Insurance, Council Tax, Rent, Electric, Water etc etc etc………

Where on Earth does all that go????????????

The money goes everywhere except where it should.
