Is there nothing we won't do to win in Iraq?

I'm totally disgusted at this, I won't quote any of the story but you should pay particular attention to the quotes from 'Sattar Jabbar, a 50-year-old farmer from Abu Sakhar' and Major Gell who must be in great danger of hurting himself.

Why would Iraqis (who've been through a lot of **** in the last 16 years) be afraid of these if they weren't a real threat?

If you saw a Badger Bear thing eat a cow, you'd be scared.

I suggest the UK need to drop more bombs to wipe the Badgers out am sure theres a nest of them in Basra. They explode out our stomachs and spread like wild fire.

I find it abit silly that the dude called it a "terrorist act" that they shot down the helicopter seeing as we are at war with people who are still loyal to saddams regime.

Doesn't matter which Iraqi faction shot it down, they're soldiers at war in a foreign country against natives of said country. Thus it is not "terrorist" at all, but a simple shoot-down...

I would have put some

in the original post but you need to go to the article in the right frame of mind

They're not loyal to Saddam's regime... This is the south of the country, remember, predominantly Shia.

Whether you agree with the invasion or not, the fact is that the British military is now there on the mandate of the Iraqi authorities. Any attack by alleged Iranian backed militants is, strictly speaking, an act of terrorism, given that no official state of war exists currently.
