War Crimes (Again)
surely in the real world you could say something about the situation in Gaza, or Afghanistan, or Iraq.
For example, we now have the UN looking into possible war crimes being committed by Israeli soldiers. Now, I will hear nothing about war crimes by Israel for as long as Bush, Blair and Brown are still walking as free men. Bush and Blair for obvious reasons but Brown because he paid for the war, a war and occupation we can't afford in Iraq. For example, if we have doone the job so well then why do the Americans have to take over our base in Basra?
Afghanistan, well no doubt we will hear the PM read out the latest list of the dead from Afghanistan and say the usual stuff about protecting us, being on the front line against the Taliban etc...in the menatime I hope that he does mention the inquiry into those deaths, because surely he can't say anything anymore, Milliband's comments, about the war on terror, especially if they were killed by 'friendly fire'.
As for Iraq, I could not but fail to notice that it was the wonderful Hoon who announced the third Heathrow runway, the same Geoff Hoon who was Minister of Defence (War) during most of the occupation of Iraq. As I have thought for some time there are people who have a lot to answer for.
Finally, I have not forgotten about Mr de Menezes who was shot on a tube train by 'police' who fired multiple dum-dum bullets into his head, especially when dum-dum bullets are illegal under international law.TAG.
