The Minister of 'Justice' Mr Straw the 'Nonsense
' man, says Iraq war was legal
*
The Iraq War wasn't
illegal , Straw insists.
by
Ian Drury
[Daily
Mail-November 19,2008]
JUSTICE Secretary Jack
Straw yesterday insisted the decision to go to war in
Iraq was
LEGAL
-despite the doubts
raised by the former Lord Chief Justice.
Lord Bingham claimed on
Monday that the legal advice justifying the war, given
to then Prime Minister Tony Bliar was
'flawed'
The peer who is one of Britain's most
respected judges, accused the
GOVERNMENT
of
'violating
international law'
by sending in troops to
topple Saddam Hussein in 2003. he claimed the Attorney
General at the time LORD GOLDSMITH had given the Prime
Minister 'no hard evidence' that the tyrant had
defied United Nations Resolutions against him.
But Mr Straw yesterday
defended the Government and said he 'did not accept'
claims that the military action was ILLEGAL. the former
FOREIGN SECRETARY added:
'Lord Goldsmith's
advice that military action was LAWFUL and in accordance
with the Security Council resolutions was shared by many
member states.'
However , the
Liberal Democrats said the 'damning' comments meant a
FULL PUBLIC INQUIRY was now
'unavoidable'

Many ask why has this
happened? Well! the People have allowed
their Government and Local Government to
turn the phrase 'Servants of the public' as
Tony Blair had indicted on his rise to
power, upside down and the result that the
TRUE FEELINGS of the mass of the people have
been IGNORED.
History has shown that a
people who are not vigilant to protect their
'Rights and Liberties' will suffer for their
indifference and see their Servants turn
into Masters. The People rule in
a DEMOCRACY not an ELITE which has been
shown to have lost its way in not taking the
people with them but instead acting the part
of a DICTATORSHIP under the cover of their
presumption that THEY KNOW BEST.
The fault is in our
electoral system which has shut out the the
true feelings of the people who have no-one
to speak for THEM.
Our Armed Forces are the bravest in the
world and they should not be treated so
abysmally by the Government of the Day.
Their task is to
PROTECT OUR COUNTRY

PASS THE PARCEL
Letter to the
Daily Mail
Wednesday,
October 15,2008.
MY SON has just
come to the end of a six-month tour of duty in
Afghanistan. For the past three months, he and
the rest of the battalion have received NO
PARCELS or LETTERS
To date, there
have been at least 25 parcels which he hasn't
received. Twice a week, I shop for the things he
needed, such as underwear, toiletries, sweets ,
DVDs, etc., and always included a loving letter.
The soldiers have
been desperate to hear from home, and it's
somebody's job out there to make sure
THEY RECEIVE
THEIR POST
but somewhere
along the line
ITS GOING WRONG.
If our soldiers
in

could send and
receive post from the trenches, surely there are
ways and means of doing it

WE CAN'T WIN THE
WAR in AFGANISTAN against the TALIBAN.
[So after
the consistent flannel and distorted facts and
untruths of the past we now at last have a most
senior British commander in Afghanistan who
spells out the truth that Britain cannot expect
to 'win the war' against the Taliban. No doubt
Gordon Brown has now realised that he is running
out of money FAST! and needed to prepare for our
evacuation from Helmand Province?]
by
Kirsty
Walker
[Daily
Mail-Monday, October 6,2008]
THE UK'S most
senior commander in Afghanistan yesterday warned
that Britain could not expect to 'win the war'
against the Taliban.
Brigadier Mark
Carlton-Smith admitted it was unrealistic to
think there would be a decisive military
victory.
He went on to
suggest that INTERNATIONAL FORCES may end up
striking a deal with the insurgents about
SECURITY.
[So those brave
soldiers killed and the many thousands wounded
some most severely have suffered because of the
mistakes of the British Government. Many
advisors with knowledge of the area had advised
against the
MISSION
IMPOSSIBLE in
AFGHANISTAN but to no avail. Heads must roll
for the SACRIFICE which was made by our brave
soldiers who were told that the mission WOULD
BRING SUCCESS. Families of the dead and wounded
should mount a campaign to get restitution from
the GOVERNMENT for the reckless way it entered
the affray which past history would have warned
them that it would end in FAILURE.]

MINISTRY OF DEFENCE
COVER-UP TO AVOID TRUE NUMBER OF CASUALTIES IN
AFGHANISTAN
*
Adding insult to the injured
by
Peter McKay
[Daily Mail-Monday,
September 22, 2008]
ACCORDING to reports
yesterday, the
MINISTRY of DEFENCE
is covering up the
TRUE
COST
of the war in
AFGHANISTAN
by hiding away soldiers
who have been seriously injured there.
The MoD always says
it's defending soldiers from 'media intrusion'.
This
is a shabby lie.
They tell us when
soldiers are killed, but not when they've lost legs or
arms. Its the same in America where the Government has
banned photos of coffins arriving home and discouraged
publicity about the maimed.
What they also don't
tell us is that we're now bogged down in IRAQ and
AFGHANISTAN that we're virtually defenceless in the
event of a
NEW
EMERGENCY.
[Well! we have
always suspected that the above practice was in place as
we felt that the MoD are a devious and dangerous bunch
of idiots and a danger to the survival of our countries
(while we still have one) security. Tony Blair's visit
to St Malo in 1998 resulted in his and the EU's
ultimate aim to destroy the effectiveness of British
Armed Forces ,was put in place.]
*
SEPTEMBER-2008
|
|
|
They made the
final sacrifice!
Five years ago today the war in Iraq
began. Since then many thousands of
British servicemen and women have
served in the conflict and 175 of
them have died. These are the heroes
who paid the ultimate price for
their country.
WE MUST ALSO REMEMBER THEIR COMRADES
IN ARMS
Thousands of our service personnel
have been wounded many most
severely who will live in a living
hell for the rest of their lives
because of their multiple wounds and
the intense terror experienced.
There are also those who die later
of their wounds and from the horrors
of war.
*
Afghanistan is
becoming the forgotten war
The reality is that
the so-called respectability of the
war against terror in Afghanistan is
a hard image for much the of world
to accept and therefore British
troops and others supportive of the
so-called NATO solidarity are having
to bear the brutal response to their
unwelcome presence while the
majority of the part-timers look on
the venture as holding up the side
so long as they have to rely on
American superpower to protect their
interests. This is precisely why the
EU is desperately using the current
unstable situation to obtain British
troops as a spearhead of the
European Defence Force. This
has been the object of Tony Blair
at St Malo in 1998 when he promised
President Chirac that he was
prepared to cooperate in
establishing a 'European Defence
Identity' and since then he has had
to face both ways until the New EU
Treaty is fully ratified and then
our brave troops will be flung into
the ring of any unpleasant
disturbance anywhere which the
EU considers needs the bravest of
the brave to give their lives-NOT
FOR CROWN AND COUNTRY but for an
undemocratic unaccountable corrupt
sovietised collective entity calling
itself the
UNITED STATES OF EUROPE.

GURKHAS
ASK FOR JUSTICE
*
LABOUR HAS DONE
MANY SHAMEFUL THINGS BUT THIS IS SURELY THE
WORST
by
Stephen Glover
[Daily
Mail-Thursday, September 18, 2008]
Even the most
stupid decisions by this or any other Government
normally have a kind of twisted logic. It is at
least possible to glimpse the reasoning, though
we may strongly disagree with what has been
decided.
But this
Government's attitude towards the Gurkhas falls
into the category of things that make
absolutely NO SENSE AT ALL. It has refused to
grant the right of residence to some 2,000
former Gurkhas who served in the BRITISH ARMY
before 1997.
THIS OUTRAGE IS
BEING CONSIDERED BY THE HIGH COURT IN LONDON
THIS WEEK
Since 1816 the
Gurkhas, who come from Nepal have been part of
the backbone of the British Army. Some 45,000 of
them have died
HAVE DIED
FOR THIS COUNTRY
and 150,000 of
them have have been injured. Thirteen have won
the VCs. During both WORLD WARS more than
200,000 Gurkhas
FOUGHT FOR
BRITAIN
and they have
served in countless other conflicts, including
in recent times, the
FALKLANDS-IRAQ-AFGHANISTAN...
A normally
patriotic Briton, proud of our armed forces and
grateful for their
SACRIFICES
would put the
GURKHAS
at the head of
of a long queue of those who want to come and
live in this country. And yet
THIS GOVERNMENT
does not even
put them back 0f
THE QUEUE
It accepts
hundreds of thousands of
IMMIGRANTS
from the
FOUR CORNERS
of THE WORLD
without being
able to find a home for a mere 2000 former
soldiers
WHO SERVED
THIS COUNTRY.
LETS HOPE
the HIGH COURT finds IN THEIR FAVOUR.
EVEN IF IT
DOES, it is a DISGRACE that these BRAVE -IMPOVERISED
MEN should have been DRIVEN TO GO TO LAW to
ESTABLISH RIGHTS which all DECENT and REASONABLE
PEOPLE would say
WERE
ALREADY THEIRS.

Boob-disposal expert
killed trying to defuse a Taliban booby trap.
One of the British
Army's most experienced and highly decorated boob
-disposal experts has been killed in Afghanistan while
trying to defuse a Taliban explosive.
Gary O'Donnell ,40, was
approaching the booby -trap to clear a path for fellow
soldiers when it detonated, close to the town of Musa
Qalch in Helmand Province on Wednesday.
Although he was
commanding officer commanding a team of specialist
engineers, the bomb-disposal expert selflessly chose to
walk towards the device himself. [A brave and true
commander and soldier who led from the front]....
'The danger to
his own life rarely seemed to affect him. If it did, he
kept it to himself.- his big smile often giving
reassurance to the less experienced or more anxious .
Men of that calibre are extremely rare.'
Defence Secretary,
Des Brown said of Warrant Officer O'Donnel:
'I have no doubt
that in his extraordinary career he was personally
responsible for saving thousands of the family, friends
and comrades of others from the anguish that is
currently being felt by his wife.

Winning the battle, but still losing the war
by
Andrew Alexander
[Daily Mail,
Friday, September 12,2008]
ON THE subject of
Nato's progress in Afghanistan, would you prefer the
assessment of a top American admiral or of local British
commanders?
Judge for yourself.
Admiral Mullen, who heads the U.S Chief's of Staff says
he is 'not convinced that Nato is winning'.
By contrast [as usual]
the cheerful British military command in Afghanistan
says that we may be witnessing 'the beginning of the
end. [that we can believe but not what they have in
mind].
This burst of optimism
follows the remarkable tactical success in recent days
of delivering a huge turbine to a dam through a hundred
miles of Taliban territory to provide power (but not for
another two year) to many homes in the area.
It was certainly a
masterly exercise in deception and logistics a
considerable tactical victory. BUT it is sad to see our
generals [as is usual) failing to understand that
strategically
IT IS MERELY A PRELUDE
TO TROUBLE-PERHAPS
DISASTER....

The BBC

has died in Afghanistan and whilst doing so
makes an inappropriate aside that his presence there was
helping
RECONSTRUCTION.
Anyone in their
right mind would know that it is dangerous
business for our troops to keep the ever pressing
Taliban at bay so it is obvious that the
so-called cover story of reconstruction being
carried out in a country not secure from
insurgents is a bit of
GOVERNMENT
PROPAGANDA.
NO BRITISH

[We ask the question
as the majority of the members of Commons Committee
' whose supervision of MI5 and MI6 -the very
intelligence world whose work was manipulated to
take us into the IRAQ WAR' . are still members of
the ISC- Intelligence and Security Committee.
One has only to look at the individuals themselves
to realise that they are hardly the right material
to protect us all from the rogue units within our
Security Services -but particularly MI6 which has
Sir John Scarlett its Head - rewarded for
toeing the line and no doubt protecting Tony
Blair's deceitful decision the tragic
consequences of which as at the
18th July 2008
has resulted in the
death of
175
British Troops
Thousands wounded
and hundreds seriously wounded and were treated in
the NHS wards which to many must have been a return

Quite frankly
the members of the ISC should be airlifted to Iraq.

SURGEON GENERAL
by
Aislinn Simpsonn
[Daily
Telegraph-Wednesday, June 4,2008]
INJURED troops
deserve better treatment on NHS
wards Britain's senior military
doctor admitted yesterday.
Lt-Gen Louis
Lillywhite, the Surgeon General,
said double the number of troops now
survive serious injuries than would
have done during the Falklands
conflict.
[The greater
survival rate is of course the
result of advances in medical
science which we are all thankful
for but the GOVERNMENT would have
been under greater pressure to
rethink earlier its involvement in
Iraq and Afghanistan
if the fatalities had been far
greater. We must
assume that Lt-Gen Louis Lillywhite
and the other top brass of the ARMED
FORCES made a robust answer of the
tragic consequences which would
result from the Government's
intention to sell off ALL military
hospitals - the deplorable treatment
at the hands of the NHS of those who
have laid their lives on the line
-in what they have to believe was in
defence of their country. ]
Figures compiled
by the Royal Army Medical Corps (RAMC)
show that by mid-February, the Armed
Forces had suffered 87 fatalities in
Afghanistan;114 personal were
seriously or very seriously
injured; 1,133 injured personnel
were admitted to field hospitals;
and 880 were evacuated to Britain.
In Iraq, 212 had
died, 212 were seriously or very
seriously injured, 2,695, were
admitted to field hospitals and
1,347 were evacuated to Britain. . .

TALIBAN is BIGGER RISK to TROOPS
than IRAQ
by
David Williams
Chief Reporter
[Daily Mail- Tuesday
July2-2008]
MORE British and
Nato soldiers have been killed in
Afghanistan than in Iraq for the
second successive month as fears
grow that the Taliban are resurgent.
Experts say there
is emerging evidence that Al Qaeda
is advising and possibly operating
alongside the Taliban.
Fears that Al
Qaeda is working alongside the
Taliban have risen since last
month's spectacular freeing of
nearly
900
TALIBAN PRISONERS
FROM A PRISON IN KANDAHAR.

Afghanistan is
becoming the forgotten war
The reality is that
the so-called respectability of the
war against terror in Afghanistan is
a hard image for much the of world
to accept and therefore British
troops and others supportive of the
so-called NATO solidarity are having
to bear the brutal response to their
unwelcome presence while the
majority of the part-timers look on
the venture as holding up the side
so long as they have to rely on
American superpower to protect their
interests. This is precisely why the
EU is desperately using the current
unstable situation to obtain British
troops as a spearhead of the
European Defence Force. This
has been the object of Tony Blair
at St Malo in 1998 when he promised
President Chirac that he was
prepared to cooperate in
establishing a 'European Defence
Identity' and since then he has had
to face both ways until the New EU
Treaty is fully ratified and then
our brave troops will be flung into
the ring of any unpleasant
disturbance anywhere which the
EU considers needs the bravest of
the brave to give their lives-NOT
FOR CROWN AND COUNTRY but for an
undemocratic unaccountable corrupt
sovietised collective entity calling
itself the
UNITED STATES OF EUROPE.

THERE CAN BE FEW IN OUR COUNTRY THAT
SUPPORT THE WAR BUT IT IS IMPORTANT
TO REALISE THAT OUR BRAVE TROOPS
HAVE NO CHOICE IN THE MATTER WHEREAS
THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE HAVE THE
CHANCE TO CHANGE A GOVERNMENT.
BUT AS WE ALL KNOW THE TWO MAIN
POLITICAL PARTIES SUPPORTED THE
ILLEGAL ACTION. THEREFORE IN REALITY
THE VOTER HAS BEEN DENIED JUSTICE.
UNDER A PRO-PORTIONAL REPRESENTATION
SYSTEM IT WOULD HAVE BEEN IMPOSSIBLE
FOR A GOVERNMENT TO GO AGAINST THE
WISHES OF THE PEOPLE. IT IS
THEREFORE MOST IMPORTANT THAT THE
GOVERNMENT AND OPPOSITION ARE
REMINDED WHEN OUR BRAVE SERVICE MEN
AND WOMEN ARE KILLED, AS THIS IS THE
ONLY WAY TO BRING THE ILLEGAL WAR IN

A
REMEMBRANCE

SACRIFICE HONOURED BY NOT HAVING
THEIR REMEMBRANCE SLOT BETWEEN THE
USUAL MUNDANE NEWS SUBJECTS BUT A
SEPARATE ANNOUNCER PREFERABLY

LAUGHING AS THE USUAL CASE AT

IT IS THE LEAST WE CAN DO FOR THOSE
WHO HAVE GIVEN THEIR LIVES AND WOULD
GIVE THEIR PARENTS AND FRIENDS A
MOMENT OF REMEMBRANCE WITHOUT THE
TRIVIAL MATTERS EITHER SIDE OF THE
ANNOUNCEMENT. HAVING THE SEPARATE
ANNOUNCER WILL SEPARATE MATTERS OF
LIFE AND DEATH WHEN IT CONCERNS OUR
OWN BRAVE MEN AND WOMEN WHO HAVE
LOST THEIR LIVES.

They made the
final sacrifice!
Five years ago today the war in Iraq
began. Since then many thousands of
British servicemen and women have
served in the conflict and 175 of
them have died. These are the heroes
who paid the ultimate price for
their country.
WE MUST ALSO REMEMBER THEIR COMRADES
IN ARMS
Thousands of our service personnel
have been wounded many most
severely who will live in a living
hell for the rest of their lives
because of their multiple wounds and
the intense terror experienced.
There are also those who die later
of their wounds and from the horrors
of war.

[WE
SAY]
LET THE
GURKHAS STAY
A
petition backing the Gurkhas has
been posted on Mr Brown's Downing
Street website. It can be signed at
http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/Gurkha-soldiers.
*
[We have calculated that
approximately 3000 concerned
citizens are registering their
support every day which converts to
21,000 a week and almost 100,000 for
the month. This significant and
possibly unprecedented response
shows the immense sincere feelings
of the British people towards the
Gurkhas and their just and highly
warranted cause to reside in the
country, for which they have fought
loyally and with their accustomed
unsparing bravery for QUEEN and
COUNTRY on our behalf all over the
world, for over 150 years. The vast
majority of the 43,000 denied entry
would prefer to stay in Nepal. -The
cut-off date is 1997 the date that
Hong Kong was handed back to China.]
