The Conflict in Afghanistan

[Bruce Spanner]

Quote from Rabb...

 

'The right of self-defence is ultimately for every country to decide, but we do support exercising it and of course it has got to be targeted in accordance with international law, and the aim of the Americans was to hit a terrorist.

 

And we know history shows – recent history in particular – that terrorists will try to hide in cover where civilians are at risk. I think the moral responsibility of that lies with the terrorists.'

 

What are others thoughts as I find this massively insensitive and in effect saying that you poor fuckers are collateral if we deem it worthy?

[Arniepie]

Anericans and British blaming each other for the gate fiasco with witnesses claiming anericans panicked and started firing on the crowds.

 

What a mess.

I know they can’t use the really scary stuff, they’ll just sell that to China or Russia to reverse engineer, but fucking hell that’s a lot of guns, $85b estimate!

 

 

It'll be fine , these are all apparently too complicated to use even after 20 years training , so these Taliban yokels have no chance.Be some interesting Car booties in Kabul though.

I think the point is the US army doesn’t really care about the huge amount of kit they’ve left behind. They will get to replace it all with new stuff and the arms companies will get bumper orders keeping them going for a few years hence creating jobs. The US taxpayer picks up the tab of for the debt of course but everyone else is quite happy to give it all away and start again. It’s Keynesian economics but with guns and helicopters.

Pics of a helicopter flying with what looks like a hanged bloke dangling underneath.  It’s not  clear yet but if it is true I think we can put to bed the ‘new improved Taliban’ idea. 

Seems this wasn’t a hanging. It was a bloke who wanted to place the flag in a town.  It maybe didn’t pan out as he’d hoped.

I saw the video... It certainly looked to me like someone being hung from a helicopter. I've seen Scarface so I should know.

What do you mean? Like he slipped and hanged himself by accident?

No, he was trying to untangle a flag and thought the easiest way to do it was to get a lift in a multimillion dollar helicopter and dangle from the bottom.  I’m not taking the piss by the way.

Nah I have no idea. Didn't look good though.

Takes some kind of stupidity to leave billions of dollars worth of equipment behind even if they poured sand in the fuel tanks \ engines of the vehicles, helis etc never mind night vision goggles and body armour.

 

Way to go, Joe!

The Talibam might cut them a discount for bulk buyback.

Thank fuck it wasn't them hanging people from choppers.

Raab is one horrible, slippery fucker. Watching him in this select committee is boiling my piss. 

[Captain Turdseye]

As are the bullet points on the BBC News graphic. Not painting an accurate picture of what’s been said at all.

They rarely do when it comes to them cunts. The PMQ's coverage is the same. They miss the bits where the tories lie 

[Rico1304]

It’s fucking horrific. Isn’t he supposed to be a lawyer?

They said they didnt tell people to go to that gate the other day and blamed the americans.

Today they admitted they did.
