6 British troops killed in Iraq

[Ripsnort]

Umm, all wars are wars of agression.  So was the Allies invasion of Germany. 66% of the American public was against going in to help the british prior to Pearl Harbor.Maybe we should have just let them be?

Eventually?.. 3/4 of the world are already against war of aggression. In fact I would suggest most of the world considers war of aggression a major war crime regardless of what euphuisms are used.

A recent poll inside Iraq shows 69 percent approval of the coalition forces. Alas it only takes a small percent to cause major problems.

I'm sorry....the Brits fought hard and have done an outstanding job in the south...I hope they have the political will to stay the course.

A recent poll eh.. Paul Brenner was on TV yesterday talking about how Iraq wasn’t quite ready for democracy as the infrastructure hasn’t been set up yet.. poll stations and the rest.. They can’t even take a poll yet.

Um.. no Rip.. we got involved in ww2 to STOP aggression.. BTW that 66% you mentioned.. These were mostly conservatives of the time that didn’t want to have anything to do with Europe.

Hey Rip.. here’s a little dirty secret I bet you don’t know.. Up until 1943 most of the major American corporations WANTED Hitler to win..

LOL, thats some good stuff there 10bears! History re-written, by 10bears! LOL!

FYI, ALL corporations in any war dislike war because of trade restrictions, sanctions, etc.  

Does Joe Kennedy ring a bell 10bears?

Conservative and democrat hot issues were vastly different than they are today, dare I say they were almost reversed compared to today. Not sure how you can even compare the two.

two small polls (300 people) have already been taken and Zogby is currently conducting a very large poll nation wide that started on may 27th.

Incidently "Nickel/dime" means to pick away in small numbers, not in a sense of "worth", you idjits. But, considering who is replying to me, its no wonder I have to spell it out.

No, what you meant was that - if we stay the course in Iraq - every dead American soldier would save you between a nickel and a dime in cheap Iraqi oil you use to fill your BMW.

the brits are great dudes but they gotta wear their vests. havent heard any specifics yet but id be willing to bet the kia would have been one or two tops if those boys had their vests on. i understand they want to appear more friendly but i dont think they need to worry about that as much in iraq as they did in north ireland. the locals in north ireland hadnt just been rescued from an evil sob dictator by british troops. the locals in iraq know the score i dont think vests are going to sour their opinion of the brits or americans.

in this case sounds like vests might not have saved them. two killed facing a mob other four chased back to police station. iraqi cops bailed thru windows told the brits to follow the brits stood there ground and went down alamo style after a two hour fight. maybe the two killed by the mob were killed by pissed off iraqis but to assault four guys for two hours that sounds like paramilitary fighters.
