The Yanks have never felt that they needed us or wanted us. They are steadily rewriting history so that most Americans think that they won the war single handed.

Re: Wikileaks
 

Here again, why did we go in? We were lied to by the Yanks and drawn into a dishonest fight that we should have shunned. We will pay a huge price for that.

Re: Wikileaks
 

Look on the bright side bil, we should be out of there in a few years time.
I'm not sure that the yanks can afford to go on flexing their muscles indefinitely or that we can either.
There could well be a new World order within the next 50 years or so, but despite all thats gone before it may not neccessarily be for the best.

Re: Wikileaks
 

Take a look who owns the companies that are selling all the arms to keep the wars going.

If you believe many on the internet the wars are just what they need to keep the money rolling in, and the longer the better, but to get the people behind them they need something to make every one say "Hey lets go kick Ass" a False Flag Operation can do this, we know of the ones carried out years ago.

Many believe they need a big one now as many are starting to withdraw their support and question this war, and they may need to attack another country very soon and will obviously need a lot of support.

Maybe, just maybe this guy could tell us a thing or two, they look worried about something:unsure:

It's so easy to say this is just a load of Bull, that's just it will we ever know:unsure:

Re: Wikileaks
 

You reckon? I think you are being overly optimistic. Remember the story of Brer rabbit and the tar baby? Afghanistan is the tar baby, and we are well and truly stuck.

Should we pull out before proper democracy is established and secure, we might as well hand the country to the Taliban and be done with it

Now, how long do you think it will be before there is a secure, legitimate democracy there?

Re: Wikileaks
 

Probably never and little accomplished, but we have already fixed a date for pulling out regardless, and I believe the US and others have similar intentions.

Re: Wikileaks
 

That is just running away, and to do that will mean that the Taliban will just walk back in, so all the deaths will have been in vain.

Re: Wikileaks
 

Quite likely, just as many ppl.predicted, history repeating itself again.

Re: Wikileaks
 

I remember when all this started, I was on a board with a lot of yanks and yank sympathisers.

They were boasting about what they were going to do, post 9.11, how there were going to turn it into 'trashcanistan' and so on.

I posted that bearing in mind no-one had ever conquered more than a bit of the place before, maybe they should achieve something before boasting so freely. Their response was to verbally try and rip me a second arsehole, but seems I'm having the last laugh.

Re: Wikileaks
 

When al Qaeda blew up the twin towers (this post is now going straight to the CIA), the US had no choice but to go into Afghanistan to attack them, and NATO agreed, and I did too. If we hadn’t, the attacks on the West would have continued. That they did anyway was more to do with Iraq.

I’m sure that even Bush and Blair would have read up on Afghanistan first, and realised getting out unscathed would be a problem, but they were right to go after the enemy in the first place.

That a bunch of freaks would want to blow up the London Eye nine years later could not have been foreseen by anyone, but there they were in a London Court yesterday. Who do we bomb this time? Cardiff or Stoke in Trent?

Muddied waters.

Re: Wikileaks
 

Really?

Re: Wikileaks
 

The point with all this is that there was justification for going into Afghanistan. here was no justification for Iraq. Had they gone into A and dealt with that properly, we could well have been in a much better position than we are today.
