US Allies?
26th March 2003 by Simon
I was just listening to “The World at one” on UK BBC Radio 4 and in an interview with a US Army Captain, the presenter Nick Clark asked him if it was helpful to have the UK military fighting with them. Not a particularly difficult question to answer you would have thought, given UK military personnel are risking their lives in this operation.
The first answer was inconclusive and evasive, so Nick Clark gave an opportunity to clear up the confusion by asking the question a second time. To my total astonishment, the second answer was equally deflective, along the lines that the people of Basra should be grateful that the UK military are helping them.
Why not Yes? — We’re both in this together and it’s great to be fighting with our allies. What unbelievable arrogance.
The political leaders in the UK are telling the population that we should be supporting the service personnel who are out in the Gulf - well, how about some support from the people that they are fighting alongside - the US military.
