That one raised finger

What do you think?

 

Did you note the finger that rose in the air, it struck me like a naughty word, like up yours, and mind you I could be wrong especially when the grieving families  where sitting behind him.

When you listen to some one like that saying I would do it again, would he put his sons in the front line some how I think that is unlikely don't you.

 

When we go into conflict training takes place, remember that he did not allow the Generals to under take this, plus the equipment was just not there.

 

The thing that has cheered me up is reading about Professor Bowring is he is planning a prosecution against Mr Blair based on last weeks bombshell evidence to the Chilcot Inquiry.

Professor Bowring says the revelation that the government rejected Foreign Office warnings not to invade Iraq.

Having said that what is the betting that he squirms out of that too, when you think of all the population of Iraq that have been killed, and we wonder why they hate us.

 

I have just spent the last 45 minutes listening to the Soldiers DVD, how nice to listen and not be screamed  at I could even hear the words clearly, so please if you have not heard this please go out and buy it, as the proceeds go to help for heroes.

 

I note that MI5 is saying that terrorists are now going to have bombs as implants, must say it will soon be difficult  especially for  women who have breast implants, golly just think of all that money being blown up.

 

During the week it was said that we do not have enough troops, and due to this the death toll will jump, may I suggest if this war in Afghanistan is going to last for years that we have conscription, now that takes the breath away,  if our politicians are intent on this war that will have to happen.
