GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS!

They keep telling us that the overwhelming majority of Iraqi Populace hates Saddam and therefore would welcome their `liberators`.

Yet watching the telly over the past few days they have shown a number of Iraqi`s who are free of the Saddam `regime` currently living outside Iraq and yet intend to return to Iraq to fight for their country.

I think the USA and British seem to be equating hatred of Saddam with lack of National pride etc. Stupid mistake to make I think.

"GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS!"...er...any particular god or just the usual `better` god than what those Arabs have believe in?...what with the evangelical Christian nutters on one side and fundamentalist Muslim nutters on the other I`m not feeling too safe to be honest.

I think I shall declare a secular state of Lewisham, where there shall be no churches, mosques, synagogues, coffee bars or wasps, but absolutely anyone is welcome to come and stay :-)

Any God,

BBC the voice of Iraq!

Politically I`m probably a step or two right of centre and the post was a factual report on the situation.
Blair was eager to be involved because he thought it was to his advantage, I wonder if he still feels the same now when it is obvious it is not a stroll in the sunshine and the British dead are mounting up.
I have made this point before but you illustrate it perfectly when you say " God bless our troops."
Presumably if the another country invaded England not only would you expect those troops to fight to the last man, but you would probably be there with them.
Never underestimate a man`s pride and willingness to fight overwhelming odds in the name of his family and country.

you sweet-talker! :-)

I`m all for devolution of the Home Counties. The rest of Britain would be absolutely goosed without the tax revenue that comes from middle-class people in the South-East of England.
