TITLE FOR WAR.

[dootybooty]

Gentlemen, history gives us many interesting names for wars, The Six DayWar, The War Of The Spanish Succesion, The Napoleonic War, and of Course the War Of Jenkins Ear.

Now, it occoured to me that we should call the current debacle in Iraq The War of Blairs Tounge.

Reason One. He lied so much about the war.

Reason Two. He had his tounge right up Bush's arse the whole time.

Any comments?

[Sully]

Fair one. Did anyone really believe the lies and unconvincing reasons though? Many on here didn't and saw through it all in an instant. So did the millions of people on the streets last February (who, by the way, were slated by a good few members of the forum for being traitors). A few nobbers had me sitting having tea and biccies with me old pals Osama and Sadam because I thought the war was purely a US economic/internal politics/corporate greed affair.

Howard gets on my tits with his criticism, to paraphrase the great Nye Bevan, if he didn't believe Blair then he's telling lies, if he did believe him then he's too stupid to have a responsible government position. The only politicians to emerge with any credit are the LibDems.

I cant think of a short witty title, but, its the war where Hearts and minds have not only failed in Iraq but also at home.

I support the troops but will never support this goverment.

If blair was a troop leader I guess it would be something like this.....

"ok men we have our objective, in the light of crap intel Ive made it up, wasnt sure to take section or troop strength, so we´ll plan for both and then have a chat tomorrow. Id like to send troop strength but my colleagues in the mess say section strength should do it. As for weapons its upto you, but to show limited aggression I suggest the tesex kit, we can still go bang and get some good feedback but do no actual harm, my fellow officers from france and germany dont like bullets. My OC Maj Bush is right behind you as am I, about 30km behind actually as we need to direct operations based on spin doctors reports not on the actual intel. I know its a tough job men and you are the best in the world, Im so happy the americans are here and we can borrow their kit.
Be aware, that as you proceed on mission plans may change rapidly as our main source of comms are the tabloids and other press. We will relay all messages through these means and then get on the net and tell you completely different stories. Bear with us as its a hard process.
When the mission is under way we will deny all knowledge, this is to protect us, oops sorry, you!
If you see any cameras or journalist, please say hello and mention myself and OC Bush, then distract them from your mission by planting seeds in the nearest dune and claim its hearts and minds. If you do shoot either a combatant or a non-combatant, leg it and we´ll send some smaller countries contingent in to get the wrap.
Id help with hearts and minds but I dont have either!
Good luck lads, when the mission and intel are clear..............it will be too late so off you go and do what you can and remember you are the best and Im even better, remember to vote!"

how about

'The Persian Gulf Distraction'

because that's all it was.

Well, politics aside, you cannot believe everything you read! To discount the effort of our troops is a GREAT injustice. Could you look a mother, in the eyes, that has lost a Marine-in combat- and say that their efforts were fruitless? We are being spoon fed the accounts of Iraq via the news. That is not what is taking place! Yes, I agree that extremists cannot be taught democracy...but I'll be damned if I discount the efforts of our forces! Politics and the spoon fed media aside....they are doing what few men and women can do! That is what it boils down to!

The Armed Forces do what the government tell them to do.

All the Servicepeople on this forum would and do back the forces to the hilt. Don't mean we have to agree with the Gormless B'liar mind.

Lets face it the Forces went into Iraq because of a lie. WMD. Now what with the Fiasco of the Iraqi prisoners being treated like sub Humans by a bunch of Elmers doing for their country and mine what the real terrorist's could never achieve in a 100 years of propaganda it's getting bloody worrying to say the least.

Just what kind of idiot takes Photos of the prisoners being mistreated and hands them over to the worlds media!?! Wouldnt surprise me if one of the pillocks sent the bloody film to his local Drug store to get them developed. Thick or what?

So what to name the war? How about "The Great Big Farking Balls up WAR"

How about:

"Compensating for the Army Reservist's episode of Jack Ass"?

[BenChug]

You missed my favorites the hundred year war which was what actually 67 or something like that, and wasn't just one long war.

Or perhaps the ten thousand day war which of course is Vietnams 30 year struggle with the Japanese, then the French, then the Americans, then the Cambodians, then the Chinese.

Or the Great war also known as the "War to end all wars," they sure called that one wrong

[goreD.]

Not a title for war. Just an observation.

You can't spell Blair without LIAR.
Ladies, forget shaving. Thick Bushes are back in fashion.

Gore.
