We may not have been given the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth but building our empire was not a reason for the Iraq war. The Belgrano? Have you seen evidence to prove a war crime was committed?
Currently there are around 2-3 million Syrian refugees in Jordan & Lebanon. Two are countries whose indigenous populations are about 4 million in total. Britain has taken in a few thousand ... you might want to think twice about trying to occupy the moral high ground?
Why is it that the Gulf countries don't have to take any refugees, and why don't Japan or South Korea have to take any? Why is it only white western countries who have to take them? There's an agenda at work here, long planned and being finely executed.
A ship sailing away from the war zone not engaging in conflict.. British companies will have benefited from our Iraqi exploits...
We were in a war with the Argies...they would have sunk ours if they could have so i am afraid it had to go bomb the bast.ards hth
What? Killing people is more acceptable (lies or otherwise) if it's not based on empire building? The truth about Iraq was known at the time. We supported the US in maintaining a presence and trying to insert a friendly regime in a country that was strategically important due to its location and oil reserves. Only dumb idiots fell for anything else. Those refugees are as a direct result of that invasion and the terror it spread as a result.
They're mostly in refugee camps and are being described as being hell like conditions. If you think that is acceptable then perhaps we can set up some camps on Saddleworth Moor and put the ones we take in them? My original point was a little tongue-in-cheek, there was never any attempt to take any moral high ground. Yours on the other hand...
A warship at sea in a war situation. I know as i was on a British warship at the time and to be honest we did the right thing at the time. War is stupid by the way - No one ever wins
Don't know whether the Spanish or the Italians or the Greeks would be consider themselves as white. However lets get to this myth of the gulf countries. I can only speak for the UAE and In reality the UAE has already taken in more than the UK and donated significantly more that the UK ( and I'm talking many times more) to the poor *******s in Lebanon, Turkey, and Gaza. So let's get that myth out of the way.
