Military Socialism, a new concept - They will leave when the Afghans are doing the job themselves. Wake up! the Afghans like anyone else will quite happily let you die in their place. Keep going is what I say, stick it out to the bitter end, we are behind you all thw way!

The British are fed up with the US and NATO war strategy in Afganistan. It doesn't work, and of course it doesn't work because US-NATO strategy is meant against Soviet Union which doesn't exist anymore and because the war in Afganistan is totally different what it would have been against Soviet Union. So, for their own reasons USA and NATO have wrong armament, wrong strategies and skills in the Afgan war. Many British troops have died in the war and the US-British-NATO generals have difficulties to convince the politicians to give more money and more armament and more soldiers to the war and the politicians in those countries have not so much positive to tell to their voters and the citizens. In the world, inside NATO and in the ISAF countries the critisism against NATO has increased significantly after the bombardment of Afgan civilians around the gasoline tanckers. In Iraq and in Afganistan US army and NATO directed their military actions against civilians as their war strategy and in order to achieve some kind of "victories" because the querilla they didin't catch. Now this policy is criticized and not accepted anymore so widely which splits the British opinion too and causes concerns for those in power. In UK there are every day less those who still believe in the victory of US-NATO troops in Afganistan.

I think Mr Joyce might end as Dr David Kelly: simply shot down by an "unknown" assassin while walking around. A special inquiry will probably establish some later on he somehow shot himself by a sniper gun.

Most people belive it is not britains war any way britain is only envolved because NATO and the EU said that we had to and the fact that gorden brown agrees we should be out there shows just how clueless he is if you gave him a rifle and stuck him out there he would run off begging for his morther

Nothing good will come of this whole Afghanistan adventure. Killing people is the only tool that the US/NATO have left and it will be their end.

Britain is USA's poodle. So when the master gave the command to attack the poodle will attack without a second thought. If it is killed no problem there. They will be replaced until the kennel (i.e. UK) is empty of poodles. Unless the chief poodle (i.e. Gordon Brown) is replaced with a real independent British human being will this stupidity stop. It is really incredible to claim that invading and fighting a war by killing innocent civilian by the hundreds of thousand in Afghanistan can ensure the safety of the murderous participant home countries. It really boggle the mind that citizens of those participating countries can stupidly accept this kind of illogical argument. To all sane and righteous British Stand Up and be Your Own Man and demand that the government do the right things for the right reasons. The same goes too for those German, French and Italian. Let the USA and their other poodles like Georgia carry on with this senseless war. Don't stain your soldiers' hands with the blood of innocent civilians especially those of women, children and old people. Just because they are bloodthirsty, murderous and insane does not mean you have to follow them and be like them.
