'Shoot your officers' : US Soldier does the honourable thing

As the "three day war" enters its fifth day the US and UK are taking a pasting that is testament to their feeble soldiering skills their inbred officer corps and their over reliance on ineffective technology

Sgt. Asan Akbar, bless him, is being questioned in connection with a fatal grenade and small arms attack at a 101st Airborne Division camp . He lobbed four grenades into the commanding officers tents and shot the first two rats to run out with his side arm.
Col Ben Hodges , commander of the 101st Airborne, who only yesterday said US forces were finding "no resistance" is today lucky to be alive and like the other 15 senior officers that Sgt. Akbar dealt with so honourably, he can certainly attest that their is significant resistance from every front. Has the US army realised yet that it has walked into a lions den? Of course not , it's arrogance and misplaced self confidence that brough them to Iraq and it is that same ignorance that has sealed their demise.

More senior US officers were shot in Nasiriyah where dozens of US soldiers were killed, hundreds injured and 11 taken prisoner. 17 US tanks were destroyed and the Iraqi casualties, including those clutching white flags, so numerous they litter the desert.

The UK are shooting reporters and the US are rocketing UK planes?

In Afghanistan the 16th Black Hawk helicopter has gone down "due to mechanical failure", killing 6 . Of course the Mujahideen in Afghanistan like the Iraqi Army are not effective at taking down helicopters, so it had to be "mechanical failure". Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Anaconda have been a complete failure and Afghanistan is now more lawless than ever.

The brainwashed idiots who believed and spouted the kneejerk excuses for this massacre can hang their heads in shame. The other idiots who think that siding with bullies in this adventure was for "the economic good " of the country are also in great error.
