Obama delayed how long deciding on troops numbers while we held the fort? I hold the US Administration in nothing but complete contempt. I hope we never again venture into any US led NATO mission. They are completely inept. And the rest of NATO partners could not care less.alisonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6691041103281974891.post-34583203640933286532010-07-08T23:14:44.315+04:302010-07-08T23:14:44.315+04:30I have alot to say about this blog; but firstly Dr...I have alot to say about this blog; but firstly Dr Fox, "We have the right strategy and we are determined to see it through" - YOU SIR, are not there.... - if this area is going to the US, surely it would make more sense for them to join with 40 Commandos now....not in 3/4 months time when their tour is over.<br /><br />I would also like to mention that various 'blogs'/internet sites mention that it could appear that 'we' could not handle this area; well, we've been there all along and if that was the case, our troops would not have continually been sent there; however, with Sangrin being the way it is, other international forces should also have been in this area (and I don't count the ANA/ANP).<br /><br />This now brings me to the point that this 'war' is an International affair, but yet, the majority of the troops are from the UK - WHY? Hopefully, we are pulling out in 2015 - too long - Poland are looking at pulling out, Germany are looking at pulling out, even the US are, from 2011, so why should be be there anylonger; (please don't mention 'until this country can govern/police themseleves) in the meantime, OUR money is being spent there and we CAN'T AFFORD IT - (I don't care how much money is being spent to try and protect our troops)<br /><br />Dr Fox, you make me laugh....do you really think the majority of the British Public believe that another 300 hundred of our troops will make a major difference to this area - the problem with this area is that the general population don't want us there - they are not helping are troops - and no matter what they try and do for these villages, it will never be enough....<br /><br />I am so VERY PROUD of our troops, and they will do what they are told to do...we have lost too many lives in this country (may they R.I.P), we have had to many wounded....but tell me: What are we getting back from this country...the words sweet FA come to mind!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
