we simpy don't know of the horrible abuses that are probably happening in iraq because of our troops....our troops have acted like monsters for a very long time.  i would have gone to jail before joining the military.

Yeah, heres an idea.  Why dont you go to google and find the british army website and send them an email and ask them directly and then you dont have to be on yahoo answers asking really dumb questions that you would find answers for on google.  I hope your friend is smarter or he shouldnt go into the british army.

Lock him up with only Tony Blair for company.  Having to listen to him without respite is appauling torture I know and probably would be against the Geneva convention but ... what the heck!

google 158th Avn Rgt, then ask for google alerts.\nMy ex was in Iraq and I put in "48th Brigade" in the search and then in alerts and got all of the news before other people.

Just because their helping to make decisions does not not mean there doing their part to contribute. You are hearing more on the news about US and Brit soldiers being killed. If they want to give advise on things should be done then they need to get their butts out there in the sandbox and play too.

Most likely he is in the field on maneuvers. If he isn't in the green zone you wont hear from him because of security reasons. There are quite a few fake profiles on this web site that post on these pages daily. I want you to know that it is Republican propaganda. I think it is really cruel, and they do it to get points. These people are sick, and mostly high school children that have never seen a day of combat. I am sure you will recognize who they are, one of them is on the top 10 high scoring page in Politics. Check him out!!! There are more too, and they post they are in Iraq, and everything is just beautiful. You wont see any Yahoo posts from soldiers in a security risk area like Iraq unless your in the Indian Ocean on a ship. Your going to have to be patient, and he will have a chance for leave in 6 months or so. I hope this helps..

THAT IS NOT A QUESTION; ITS MORE LIKE A STATEMENT FROM SOME IDIOT THAT JUST LIKES TO COMPLAIN A LOT.\nSTOP SITTING ON YOUR ARSE AND GO TO PALASTINE IF YOU WANT. OH AND BY THE WAY TONY BLAIR DOES NOT HAVE 50 BODYGUARDS.

so Greenpeace has been jailed? and you claim Bush is a liar! if you are captured on the battlefield, you are an "enemy combatant", not a suspect in custody, there is a vast difference. you have the rights guaranteed (if you're in uniform) by the Geneva Convention, not Miranda, understand? if you are not in uniform, then by the laws of war, you can be summarily executed on the field of battle without trial. this is not some new thing Bush made up, either. Major Andre, the Brit who took the plans for the defense of West Point from Bendict Arnold was summarily executed when he was captured because he was out of uniform. you libs really need to learn the laws before going off half cocked accusing someone of breaking them

It's all boll*cks mate.  These people here are the reason why Britain is so fu*ked.  What she and Huntley did was despicable, just like any child murder or pedo.  Fair play to you for wanting to hunt her down.  If you do, put the baseball bat across her knees a few times for me!!

Although you asked in regards to the UK, you also just described the US.\n\nI only stopped here to ask how was your nap, Rip Van?\n\nObviously, you were sleeping while the media was co-opted.\n\nThe final proof that the media had been ultimately co-opted (for me) was when The New York Times ran parrot pieces on the Iraq War.\n\nAll hail Big Brother.  \n\nI often think to myself that when I use certain terms while using electronic mediums, that I just added to some poor low end intel data schmuck's task load.\n\nAl qaida.  Bush.  Blair.  Backpack.    \n\nThat should do it.  Now I'll be flagged for sure.\n\nI'm reminded of the George Carlin monologue about the last guy on earth. (Meaning the lowest, poorest, least, etc, not the literal last survivor.  Just this guy is so down and out nobody is worse off then he is.)  In the monologue, Carlins supposes what if the "last guy" found a dime and used it to call the FBI (or CIA)?  They'd immediately begin a file on him, because if he was the last guy, how did he get a dime...and on it goes until the guy has international intel status, well you catch the drift...)

Don't worry honey, they can't keep a good ol' boy down.\nI do think the fun police have arrived in force though.\nThis site has gone from fun to "this sucks" very quickly.

I've posted the story I think your refering to for those who aren't aware of recent developements.\n\nHowever, a U.S. official close to the investigation said at least one of the soldiers, all assigned to the 502nd Infantry Regiment, has admitted his role and been arrested. Two soldiers from the same regiment were slain this month when they were kidnapped at a checkpoint near Youssifiyah. (1)\n\nThe confesson has nothing to do with violations of the Geneva Convention.  It does have to do with a military presence in another country and those who would abuse or misuse there power.  The sad thing is it reflects on us as a nation and there will come a time when the military won't be able to justify these things as the minority.  This story is horrific in the sense that we were outraged over those two soliders and now we come to find out it could be in retaliation for other crimes.  The investigation is pending and one can hope it's a mistake  but I trust the military will deal with parties if found guilty.

Well said on behalf of Andy D - I dont get why he has been banned and reported to police for expressing his opinions !!! This just shows how bad this country has got - call the police because you've been mugged and we're lucky if they arrive.  Dare to voice an opinion and they're round in minutes - disgusting  !!!!!!

Tony Blair has caught a lot of criticism from his fellow countrymen, much like that other leader . . . George W. Bush.  The majority of his critics, like in President Bush's case, is from the opposition party to that which is in power.  Although I am not British, I have kept up with their news, and it appears that Prime Minister Blair is doing well.  The media, (remember it's the liberal media, while Bush & Blair are respecitvely conservatives), has been attacking both of the leaders for about the last three years.  Gee, I guess that's why the U.N. military commander in Bosnia is the "FORMER".  I haven't read any positive news concerning Bosnia and the U.N. involvement.  So, putting two & two together, the proverbial statement holds true, "Those who live in glass houses, shouldn't throw stones."  Or to reference the Word, "He who is without sin, may cast the first stone."  If anyone would like to forward this to that FORMER U.N. military commander in Bosnia, you have my full permission . . . . if President Bush or Prime Minister Blair are doing so poorly, then I'd like to see you do better!  Come on, you've got my vote.  I'm sure your response is something like the following:  "No, I don't want that job!"  Good, then sit back, shut up, fasten your seatbelt, enjoy the ride and just use sunscreen!  Sorry, I'm a history major and love to argue politics.  Although evidently biased, maybe it shed some light on your question.
