Agree 100%, in answer to Pedohunter (Macho or what?) all of the hard work had been done when they "joined" the wars in 1917 & 1943, all of the wars they fought on their own - Vietnam, Korea, etc they have LOST, yes let them stand up for themselves again and lets sit back and watch the result |

I am not an American but man you guys have got your undies nice and twisted with your facts… A) Who is we? British I am assuming?! Although the sun never set on your empire but its still over, and must of this crap is your fault to start with. Afghanistan is admittedly America’s, but the rest of the Mid East is your responsibility. So own up! Take a look at every region that your empire left and look at the mess that is there today!
While admittedly, Americans are by far hopelessly confused and deluded you musts be kidding if you think you would have been able to have won either WW with out them?! Yes they waited till the last moment. But it was not till the last moment before you where going to win; It was the last moment before it was all over and you all would have been waking up every morning to the crisp sounds of Wagner playing in the wind (beautiful music by the way but definitely not a morning rotten thing).
And now, would you please remind me what war was it that you saved those darn yanks ‘rses in again? Please refresh my memory. |

I am sick to the teeth every time I hear that another one of our young men has been blown to smithereens just to pander to leaders who don't give a monkeys unless it's their own Bank account. Who are they kidding.The army say that they are doing more harm than good out there.Why doesn't Blair set an example and encourage his SONS to go to Basra to keep the peace the same for Bush.Iraq is a rich country how much are they paying towards the cost of the troops there.I say get the troops out of Iraq,Afghanistan NOW and pay for all these do gooders who say we should be there to keep the police to go in their place. I know you join the Army to fight wars but this is an illegal war, I hope all nations think of this when they vote next in LOCAL as well as General elections. It is not all of the Yanks but the leader
Blair and Bush you can fool some of the people some of the time but not all of the people all of the time. |

In the southern portions of Iraq the UK forces have managed to keep the peace successfully. So why pull out now when they have achieved so much? In fact outside of the Kurdish regions in the north southern Iraq is one of the bright sides of the Iraqi campaign. The courage, discipline and commitment of the UK forces have been by and large welcome.
US Army Desert Storm vet who appreciates the contributions of our British allies! |

Pull out of Iraq...if that is what your government decides...fine. When I spent 18 months in Iraq I had the chance to work with some of your troops and we got along just fine.
Maybe I'm missing something? Refresh my memory when was it that you saved our *rses? Lend-Lease, American pilots flying Spitfires before the US entered WWII, providing your country with satellite imagery and electronic intelligence during your battle the Argentina over the Falkland Islands in1982 comes to mind.
I do have a quick question you might answer for me. You have eliminated all but what...a dozen or less of your nuclear weapons right? While commendable and not doubt impresses the French and the Iranians. Just what to you plan to do if China, North Korea, Iran or ever France...they haven't really liked the English for 400 year...actually launch a nuclear strike against your fair country? Oh that's right, I recall reading that you're counting on us...that we, us the Yanks to save you *rses. Hopefully that will never happen. |

HA HA , funny , more like US steppped in last minute to grab the glory. (talking about WW1 & 2)
Stupid yanks, you watch too many US edited documentaries, maybe if you were a small country like us you would have such big heads and even bigger mouths |

Pull out yes but to let another take over for,say a year,
awhile then we go back in and so on till the country is
stable and well able to function as a use full none aggressive
friend to the west. |

I agree we should pull out, but not completely out. We should most of the troops home and consolidate the rest into one strong hold and only deploy them when the Iraqi goverment needs us. We are not helping the situation right now, we are making it worse. |
|

David

I'm with you.Though what's the odds on Blair and Bush are out of office before our troops are home. They will be left for someone else to bring them home. |

If we pull out, all hell breaks loose. We have had a few problems, and yes mistakes were made, but we should tough it out. I doubt that anyone here has given up when they have had a setback in work, or love, and this is simple a similar problem on a larger scale.
We are winning the fight against the despotic Taliban, and once the threat they pose is well and truly over and done, then we can leave, job done. If we pull out now, we'll just watch the region destabilise on BBC Worldwide, and Iraq would follow suit. So we need to finish what we started, then mobilise all available troops to Iraq, and help the country back onto it's feet. Then we can leave, with another job well done. It may take time, but it will be worth it in the end.
It is also strange that despite the fact that our countries are ALLIES, we still bicker and squabble amongst ourselves. Maybe if we all pulled in the right direction, we would get the job done faster. You can always complain AFTERWARDS, and it would be more appropriate to do so.
That's all I have to say. |

Brits "saved" the yanks? When in 1776 or 1812 when they kicked you out? Two world wars that you started and were losing, but who's counting! If you need to get out of anywhere it is Ireland!
The sun never sets on the British Empire...because not even the Goddess can trust a genocidal Englishman in the dark!
Pull-out? First from Ireland...Then like your father should have. |

I'm waiting for the US troops to start calling the Iraqis "Charley". As soon as that happens it's a lost cause. |

We never should have interfered in the first place. Blair's urge to play tin soldiers with real men during a little moment of second hand heroism that is bleeding us white and needlessly costing lives...Vox populi vox Dei. We all said "not in our name"... but he just ignored the voices of the people who elected him and put him in power.
Make no mistake, America thinks we are ungrateful bast...s because they interfered and saved our bacon in two world wars. |

Hilts

Yes, pull out! The yanks would be "Screwed"
Thet got "Screwed after the Aussies pulled out of Nam!
They are useless on their own. But they, of course, would differ! |

WTF are you babbling about? You must have woke up on the "stupid" side of bed today eh?
Us "yanks", have saved the world many times over...check those stats they are there.
All the world owes some gratitude to us for the freedoms available in parts of the world today. |
|

Not so looney afterall
 |
I say you should pull out if you want, we don't want to be there either. BUT, I think we've been the one to save your 'rses frequently... Remember WWII?????? |
