Reality Bites on Iraq

First we had the news that George and Tony's Excellent Adventure has killed more Iraqis than Saddam ever did. Now, comes word that in the UK the generals are unwilling to be complicit in the la-la fantasies of the neocons and the "decent" left any more.
In an interview in the Daily Mail, Sir Richard Dannatt, Chief of the General Staff, is quoted as saying the British should "get out some time soon".

He also said: "Let's face it, the military campaign we fought in 2003, effectively kicked the door in."

Certain persons have been avoiding the topic of Iraq lately, unsurprisingly.

About me

  • An early-thirties male Irish technologist living and working in Dublin, I'm a former (recovering) member of both Fianna Fáil and the Roman Catholic Church.

    I'm not a member of any political party these days, but my opinions can be broadly categorised as 'lefty' and republican. I am also a former member of the Irish Defence Forces.

    Please feel free to check out the FI Fie Foe Fum group blog, where I was once a regular contributor, and the Cedar Lounge Revolution, where I can usually be found in the comments.
