    “Our enemies should never doubt our determination to accomplish this mission”

    …Let’s negotiate.

    Appeasement…did you (the British) pioneer this with Hitler. WTF are you people thinking?

    I’ve been telling everyone the British Empire, not the citizens over there, are working against us to bring us down.

      What the present British Government needs is a History Lesson from some of their own…

      “British 19th century colonial administrators learned that the best way to deal with Somali outlaws was to ‘shoot on sight, shoot first, shoot to kill and keep shooting’.”

      To me anyways, it sounds like a good way to deal with Muzzie Crazies where ever they may appear in the civilized world.

      I’m just saying that most of us are thinking it, but few are saying it.

      Whoops.

      “I’m just saying ‘what’ most of us are… ” :oops:

      I second that notion!

    I take it you think the Anbar Awakening just happened and US troops didn’t negotiate with any insurgents to make that happen. Some of the people posting on here really need a reality check.

    That headline is also really misleading and appears to just be a cheap shot. An operation has ended, because it was succesfully concluded and the Taliban were driven from the area. Not “UK ceases ops in Afghanistan”.

    British troops are still in Afghanistan, still doing things that internet heroes like Erik Wong don’t have the balls to do.

      We’re in no way dogging the British troops, they are the victims here. We are blaming the British Government for putting political ideology over the troop’s abilities to actually be able to do what they are trained to do….win a war.

      I will NEVER blame any military men and women of being traitorous. Governments who are dictating and limiting the troops ability to wage war are the traitors. The governments are more responsible for troops deaths than the enemy is.

    We all should have seen this coming – it is not just about Britain. The moment Mr. Obama took the presidency, anti-war zealots with power began coming out of the woodwork, placating the notion that we should abandon Afghanistan along with Iraq. After all, many of these people never truly supported actions in Afghanistan – they were simply too afraid to voice their opposition, but now that they have their thug in chief, they feel much more comfortable to voice their true philosophy.
