So on Wednesday Tony announces that loads of troops are coming home from Iraq

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/6380933.stm

but why didn't he announce the extra troops being sent to Afghanistan at the same time?

Surely he must have known about it. Sums up politicians really. Especially him. Git.

Actually the ary did get in trouble for sending boys. Some trank drivers were under 18 so were technically boy soldiers and against the geneva convention using them.

oops.

Funny that they announce this on the same day as Harry Windsor gets his marching orders ( http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/6383747.stm ).

I wonder if they are planning a very short stay for him?

Exactly. This finally proves how much of twat tony is. He only gives a feck about hi self and screwing over another country to achieve that is fine by him.

Our boys are coming home!

Well, a few of them anyway.

But enough to parade on the news just before the local elections!
