Jimmy the fairly open message from the new coalition government, both Mr Cameron himself and foreign secretary William Hague, is that we will be out of there by 2014. This is some sort of move forward. Not sure if Fox is singing from the same hymnsheet though..as the above seems an odd thing to say. Because no matter what, we would have to leave one day...so would the term betrayal apply when that time comes as well. Seems a bizarre thing to say and maybe its out of context.
I think it has become clear to many now...we saw General McChrystal's sacking last week for stepping out of the official line, that this war is going nowhere. It will be ongoing forever like those eternal wars of fiction, unless somebody at some point pulls clear of it. It is also clear that this so called 'Special Relationship' with America is keeping us there.
The loss of life is tragic and although I hate to say it Im not sure if it has accomplished much at all.
Ermmm ooops no youve got the wrong 'there' Jimmy...it should be "their sacrifice"..but its alright you wont go to the stocks.
