The result of being the deadliest armed forces on the face of the earth.
But since you are so pissed off about it, how about trying a little research to help to see a different perspective.
First, find out exactly how many British troops died in Desert Storm/Desert Shield.
Second, find out exactly how long that period of time was.
Third, find out how many British troops were involved in Desert Storm/Shield.
Now, do a similar bit of research....but make it for the British occupation of Germany (post-WWII).
How many troops died (all causes..auto accidents, suicide, training accidents, disease)...
Find out how long a period of time it was..
Find out how many troops...
Now, do a per man year comparison of the mortality rate for each duty. You might be in for a surprise.
Meantime: France is readying 15,000 troops for the Gulf.
Our anger should be a Saddam for not disarming and living happily ever after in one of his gold-leafed palaces.
Yeah, over did it a bit with the smilies etc.
Point remains though, if we are going to discuss duplicity we shouldn't bury our heads in the sand and pretend that the US is the only country to be acting in such a way.
I don't think anyone here has argued that the Iraq situation has nothing to do with oil. Shame that other people cannot accept that the French and Russian approach may be connected to their relationship with Iraq, as much as it is to do with WMD etc. Seems like, just because these countries are currently anti the impending war, their duplicity doesn't matter.
LOL. Tell me Globe, what else does that crystal ball of your tell you?
Anyone else observe the hypocracy of the clandestine-collaborator's incessant attacks upon GWB, but his sycophantic genuflection before the biggest liar who ever held the office of US president... Komrad Blow-job Klinton, himself?
The economy? Klinton's house of cards started collapsing before Klinton even left office...
National security? Another house of cards, not addressed while Klinton focused upon the ever important self gratification...
Duplicity? None may EVER equal Klinton.
When clandestine-collaborator addresses the farce which was Klinton, then we might have a basis to comprehend why it has been necessary to make the swing of the pendulum to GWB. No one who has taken the conservative position within these discussions has ever claimed that GWB is perfect - is a God send - but rather, is a necessary step to correct what transpired before him.
Any rational person will have difficulty in blaming what was passed on the platter to the current president upon him... it was the work of the lying degenerate previously in office, the one who continually attempted to sell out the nation he swore to protect.
The radical Muslims saw the opportunities to live free in a diverse society with diverse views: they hated us for it.
Guess you dont value your liberty too highly then eh pnj?
The New York Post is a JOKE of a newspaper. I don't understand why anyone, and I'm a former New Yorker, would read this when you have the New York Times available.
The only national newspapers worth reading in the US are the NY Times and Washington Post.
The NY Times is very liberal. Wash Post is in between.
If you pick your news source because you like the cute headlines, hey that's your choice. I'd rather get my news from the best.
