Re: At war again?
The British Raj couldn't do it.
The Russians couldn't do it.
Knowing that, only a moron would think they could swan into Afghanistan and conquer it.

Re: At war again?
I think that there were a few more soldiers against the nazis. As to Afganistan it might help if we backed our troops with more than words. I do not think that we will ever win in Afganistan as we tend to respect war convensions Russia did not and they could not manage it.
As to Libya it is obviously about oil, any politician that ignores Rwanda can never ever spout on about human rights etc.

Re: At war again?
It always makes me laugh when people whine and bitch about the "Oil Issue", yet they would be the first to whine and bitch about the rise in petrol and food prices the second we lose a reliable supply. f course its about oil, everything on the planet is, so what, if the net result is that people are saved from certain slaughter, as far as I can see its worth it!

I think it's all pie in the sky. It would have been drilled before if it was viable.

Re: At war again?
You really are an absolute fool who is totally incapable of reading someone elses post coherently. It should be obvious to even the most argumentative prat that I was behind our troops but against the politicians.

Re: At war again?
You are absolutely correct but sometimes it is the only way to penetrate such a dense material and it made me feel better. Also there is the very slight possibility that you, and one or two others, may learn to read posts correctly.
Nah.

Re: At war again?
So Gaddafi has just called a ceasefire according to his spokesman,....again.
However it's noticable that he hasn't even shown his ugly mug on TV these past two days.
Reading between the lines, there are signs that his grip is rapidly weakening over those around him.
He's probably cowering in an underground bunker somewhere,... just like hitler and saddam.
