The UK has every right to be there...and being the pedantic ***** I am...because they are there at the invitation of the Iraqi Government. You know...the Government that was elected by its very own people with higher turn outs at the voting booth than ever seen in the UK or America.
Of course, being the pedantic ***** I know you are you will shortly point out that the Iraqi government is a puppet government installed by the imperialists that would fall withing a day of the imperialists pulling out.
Naturally enough I would counter with the fact that if the imperialists did pull out over night then because of numpties like you [more] blood would flow in the streets as there is no nothing to keep the mooooooslums from killing each other.
Whatever - the UK miillitary,from the rank and file to the top brass - want out of Iraq
Im picking you dont have the capacity to understand the little concept that Im about to post...but Ill post it anyway.
In Western countries with well established parlimentarian processes the armed forces report to the Governments.
What I suspect you are proposing is that the Armed Forces should control the Government. Now I could just be a little bit pedantic here BUT dont they call set ups like that dictatorships? You can usually tell a dictatorship as the geezer running the show usually dresses in a military uniform...much like numbnuts over in Pakistan.
and if you dont like that fact - you could get yourself over there as a volunteer.
Looking forward to the MM Basra blog,
