Over 800 British troops to be deployed to Taliban danger zones

As I have stated before I think the War in Iraq was totally unnecessary. I do not believe that Saddam had WMD and we all know what a lier Blair and his cronies are. The whole middle east is in a worse state of affairs post Saddam and Ima Dinner jacket must be eternally grateful to Bush & Blair for invading Iraq and executing a Sunni enemy. We all know that Iran is making a nuclear weapon, why would an oil rich country like Iran need nuclear energy? Don’t forget Saddam was a former ally of the West and fought a long hard War against Iran. We are closer now to nuclear War in the middle east then any time previously. However Afghanistan is a different matter, nobody likes to see our young men die overseas but it may be neccesary if it is a just cause and directly protecting us at home. I believe there was a direct link to Al Qaeda and terrorism in the West, remember the Trade centre was hit with a bomb before the 9/11 attacks. I have said before on this Blog that the fight against terrorism has suffered due to the shambles in Iraq as Afghanistan has not been given priority and as we all know the men out there are fighting a daily battle to survive. If other NATO countries do not provide troops for Afghanistan then their governments should suffer sanctions. With this in mind I can justify sending more troops to Afghanistan. If we give the terrorist a safe haven in Afghanistan we will see more horrific beheading plots here in the UK, although you could use that argument for Iraq. As I have said and will say time and time again give them the tools to do the job or bring them home. God Speed lads Read It Here
