#1 If they keep pushing this, it's going to make me (and others) feel the UK troops are pussies who can't take real heat - and that had better not be true. This is a fucking war zone and it's about to get hot again to clean up the mess caused by Tayyip's gutless kowtowing to Chirac for the crumbs of the EU table. Neither the US nor the UK created it, but we still have to handle it. We're supposed to be allies - again. The US suffered through the farce of Monte's motherfucking Market Garden, the UK can pull some of the load in the hot zone of Iraq for a little while. We're either in it together - or we're not. Period. Geezus the press are assholes. This shit really pisses me off.

The Ladies from Hell - if you can survive Glasgow, the Sunni Triangle should be a cinch. If the Americans don't get stuck into Fallujah soon I'll start thinking the same about them ;)

#3 .com , am sure our boys on the ground really wanna get stuck in . Our hands are tied by the fookwit politicians who's only real concern is to get elected again . As for calling UK troops pussies > I think u being a tad harsh m8 ) . This is a report based on one of our less professional regiments ... (but they are still professional )
OUTNUMBERED British soldiers killed 35 Iraqi attackers in the Armyâs first bayonet charge since the Falklands War 22 years ago.
The fearless Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders stormed rebel positions after being ambushed and pinned down.
Despite being outnumbered five to one, they suffered only three minor wounds in the hand-to-hand fighting near the city of Amara.
The battle erupted after Land Rovers carrying 20 Argylls came under attack on a highway.
After radioing for back-up, they fixed bayonets and charged at 100 rebels using tactics learned in drills.
When the fighting ended bodies lay all over the highway â and more were floating in a nearby river. Nine rebels were captured.
An Army spokesman said: âThis was an intense engagement.â

The last bayonet charge was by the Scots Guards and the Paras against Argentinian positions.

. As for the press in this country , yeh they are a bunch of maggots who only pick up on negativity and 'failures' but we are all clever enough to read between the lines arent we ?

#7 NBCNEWS Jim Miklaszewski quoted one official: "Recent disagreements between the administration and the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency makes this announcement appear highly political." No shirt shitlock.
