| Heroes? More like mere victims of a power mad elite How much more blood on Gordon Brown's hands will it take? Five more British soldiers killed, this time by an Afghan policeman. How many more pointless deaths will it take before Gorden Brown admits the war in Afghanistan cannot be won and brings the troops home? November 4 2009 The five British soldiers killed yesterday in Afghanistan are yet more victims of an unwinnable war. 229 soldiers have now died since the 2001 invasion, 92 of them this year. Gordon Brown insists, "They fought to make Afghanistan more secure, but above all to make Britain safer from the terrorism and extremism which continues to threaten us." ![]() How much longer can Brown say that British soldiers are in Afghanistan to make it more secure, when by any yardstick the presence of foreign troops is the prime cause of the country's ever increasing insecurity? This is what happens when a people resist the occupation of their country, but it seems a lot more British soldiers will have to die before Brown admits the war cannot be won. The five soldiers were killed by an Afghan policeman, who it now turns out may have been a Taliban supporter. There should be no surprise here. The truth is, British troops are dying for no other purpose than to save the reputation of politicians like Brown, who slavishly follow the dictates of US foreign policy -- even when it's obvious that the world's second poorest country is no threat whatever to British interests. The farce of the fraudulent Afghan elections, which ended with the re-election of Hamid Karzai -- the prime instigator of the fraud -- removed any hope Brown may have had that the war could be justified as defending "democracy" or a legitimately elected president. The game is clearly up when even former Labour minister Kim Howells -- who a year ago, as a foreign office minister, was one of the government's most vociferous defenders of the war -- is now saying [LINK POSTED BY MEMBER] Only Members Can View This Truck Forum Link. . The blood of these five soldiers is on the hands of Gordon Brown. How many more British soldiers and Afghan civilians will die before he is forced to accept the inevitable and bring all the troops home? The longer Brown persists, the more likely it will be that Lance Corporal Joe Glenton -- the first soldier to refuse to return to Afghanistan -- [LINK POSTED BY MEMBER] Only Members Can View This Truck Forum Link. , who like him are no longer prepared to fight a war which is neither justified or winnable.

None of the "plans" you have cited here were conceived in Afghanistan; in fact the alleged plot of 911 (if indeed there was such a plot in the first place) was hatched in Hamburg, Germany. Sure, our military is killing members of the Taliban and other "insurgents"- along with many innocent women, children and such- (they were called freedom fighters when they were fighting the Ruskies, remember?), but why in the world should we care about who's in power in Afghanistan? Think about it... I believe that as more and more people wake up to what a cynical farce this business in Afghanistan really is, support for this welfare program for the armaments industry will continue to wane. Now who could blame the President for his reluctance to send more troops into this hellhole? To do so, in light of public opinion as more of the public wises up to the fallacy and outright foolhardiness this engagement in "Pipelinistan" is, could prove to be political suicide. I think the President realizes this fact, but on the other hand he is under tremendous pressure from neo-cons and the armaments industry (both of which exert a great amount of influence) to escalate this madness. Why? For big PROFIT of course! A) Let the Russians build South Stream; should we as Americans even care about what the Europeans pay for natural gas? B) Check under your bed for international terrorists- you'll stand a better chance of discovering some there than in Afghanistan. C) We as a nation are making enemies faster than we can kill them. rx
