AFGHANISTAN GAS PIPELINE THAT OUR SOLDIERS ARE DYING FOR!

David Cameron led tributes to the armed forces who "made our country great" at a ceremony to mark the transfer of repatriations of fallen troops to a new RAF base.

The Prime Minister said "we cannot thank them enough" for their efforts and the sacrifices they make. 

That may be true.  I have nothing but admiration for the professionalism of our armed forces, however misguided their actions are, at times.  But then, that is down to their commanding officers and the politicians.  

I often wonder though if your average soldier marching through Afghanistan ever considers, exactly, why he is there?  When you go onto armed forces message boards, there is plenty of bitching about their role, so why then does someone join up?  I don't know, because I have never been in the military although of course my forebears have fought in World wars.  At one time in my earlier years before I had the possibility of exploring what actually is going on in the world, I might have gone 100% for the king and country shite.

Should we be in foreign countries now that we have 'discovered' the rest of the world and everyone in these countries like India, Pakistan and Australia, actually know who and where they are.  Well apart from the Australians, of course.  I personally believe that our armed forces should be deployed to defend Britain, not sent to Afghanistan to build gas piplines.  Don't believe me?  Just Google, Afghanistan, oil and gas and you'll be on the road to discovering the truth!

IT'S NOT WORKING IN LIBYA!

UPDATE*5 INSTANCES OF NATO BOMBING INNOCENT CIVILLIANS*

Well here we are 4 months into our 'war' with Gaddafi.  We're a few weeks away from Ramadan, when most Arab countries will shut down, it being in the middle of summer this year.

We were told that Gaddafi and his family would have cracked by now, but his son has just made a broadcast on French TV saying that they'll never surrender.  As I've outlined on here before, the rebels are a ragtag army of misfits, from genuine Gaddafi haters to Islamic militants.  The only thing that appears to be cracking is the will of NATO to take the fight to the dictator's family.  The Italian PM Berlusconi, has said that he was against it from the start, the Germans are not committing any forces and most of the military might is from France and the UK.

Meanwhile our politicians are more wrapped up in a phone hacking scandal than the welfare of our troops, who if this 'war' is to be properly actioned will have to be sent in on the ground to help the so called rebels, who if they win against Gaddafi will be fighting us as we try and get our hands on their oil, which as we all know is the reason we're there in the first place!

ARE WE MAKING A HUGE MISTAKE IN LIBYA?

As British and French jets pound Libya tonight, I can't help but ask myself, are we making another huge mistake like we have in Iraq and Afghanistan?


When the UN voted for the mandate to allow NATO to enforce a 'no fly zone', the Arab League pledged their support.  But, where has that support gone?  The UAE and Qatar are the only ones now supporting action and that is with financial support.  Where is the huge Egyptian air-force for instance?  Have the Jews in the US administration held them back for fear that once they taste blood in Libya, Israel might be their next target?  Gaddafi is already playing this as Western imperialists on an oil grab, using language like crusaders and Muslim brothers, how is that going to play in the Arab world?  Are we going to have been said to have interfered in a civil war?  Who are these rebels anyway and where do their loyalties lie?  Will we be able to get rid of him anyway?  We had a 'no fly zone' in Iraq for 11 years before Saddam was found in a hole in the ground, (maybe).

No mention of Western Military action in the Yemen or Bahrain.  In both those countries, civilians are being massacred by Government troops and police.  I have seen videos, as I'm sure you all have because they're circulating freely on the net, of civilians being shot indiscriminately by police and armed Government militia.  But, of course, both these countries are pro-West and our allies, so that's alright then! Mind you, they don't have oil either, or am I just being cynical?

THE HYPOCRISY OF CLINTON KNOWS NO BOUNDS!

Hilary Clinton.  Two words that will go down in the annals of a free world like a wet fart in a space suit.

This sanctimonious fucker claims to be standing up for the 'poor, downtrodden' masses, currently being massacred by the very dictators that America has stood by for 30 years, despite their crimes against American interests.  This as well as  having killed hundreds of thousands in Iraq and Afghanistan, countries that they invaded with Britain's help to secure oil and gas supplies predominately for the U.S.  Why don't they tell the truth?  The people of the Western World would fully understand us invading countries to secure our oil supplies, at least before it runs out, as it will.

Clinton’s words somehow make it through what must be the tortuous process of being delivered with monumental fake morality without the lady falling off the stage in hysterical laughter.  She should be getting an Oscar.

‘We believe in freedom, peace and self-determination for all people …’

‘… Haaahhhhhhh … fooled yah – only kidding …’
