Malt 379 Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 Malt. Fully explain why the hell the Americans are in Afghanistan then? If Saddam Hussein and Bin laden are dead and there is no oil there and Al-Queda is predominantly based in Pakistan? is it about drugs? No. Gas? No. Diamonds? No. Pride? Yes.. Good old fashioned revenge & retaliation for 9/11 mate... The reason they're still there is they don't know how to finish what they've started.. They went in to exact revenge without really thinking about what they were doing, hitting out in anger as it were. That would be my take. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PoshPikey 560 Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 Hang on wasn't 9/11 retribution for the 1st Gulf War? When American Patriot missiles killed thousands and thousands of civilians in Baghdad? When the US and the UK ran Bombing raids EVERY night for months,to stop Hussein from capturing the oil fields of Kuwait because America thought their trade agreements meant they should have them not the people on the ground.???

Are trying to rewrite history? We intervened in the gulf the first time partly at the behest of Saudi Arabia because they feared they'd be next after Kuwait.. Hussein has already captured the Kuwaiti oil fields, and we went to war under a UN mandate after he refused to leave them.. It wasn't just Britain and America who were involved the first time either it was a true multinational force also several other nations.

gnasher16 30,118 Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 (edited) Dont seem right to me,these are professional soldiers doing a job not a bunch of lads out on the lash.........i can understand sometimes adrenalin and pure human emotion sometimes drives you to do things you wouldnt normally do.....but then thats what they are getting paid for,nobody forced them to be there its a job......do your job and show some class......if you want to act like pissed up teenagers your in the wrong job........that would be my thoughts anyway.

scothunter 12,609 Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 thing is we tend to compare other armies on our own. i would say the british army is prob the most proffesional army in the world and prob diciplined aswell. you dont really see much of our boys firing rounds in the air willy nilly whooping like cowboys.or using army equipment to make daft vids for jewtube. not saying brit soldiers wouldnt piss on some dead terrorist,however i think the consequences would deter them from doing it. or maybe we do.just not f*****g stupid enough to let some idiot film them doing it. anyway didnt here them complaing lol oh its a gas pipeline from the caspian sea that they want coming through afghanastan.nothing to do with oil. but thats neither here nor there they harboured terrorists who plotted against the west,and still do. is that reason we are still there after 9/11 prob not.like any war politics takes over.easy to go to war,not so easy to come out of one without losing to much face. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PoshPikey 560 Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 No - not trying to rewrite it but trying to see things from the locals point of view, America think they own israel and Kuwait and are in cohoots with Saudi - Iraq invaded Kuwait because it was skint after the Iran Iraq war. America saw its opportunity to get a slice of the pie and went in. Not denying that Iraq was up to no good but the Arab pact said they would sort it with no external help required - America decided that a coalition force should move in, because if they lost Saudi oil they would be in the doo doo. I stick to what I said though - if America invaded the UK because our fabulous Pork Pies became internationally valuable - i would be out every night giving them grief just as the afghans are. I think that the last twenty years of international relations is fascinating. We look back at the Workd Wars and marvel at how much we have progressed in 70 years . The reality is that f**k all has changed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

socks 32,253 Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 Malt. Fully explain why the hell the Americans are in Afghanistan then? If Saddam Hussein and Bin laden are dead and there is no oil there and Al-Queda is predominantly based in Pakistan? is it about drugs? No. Gas? No. Diamonds? No. Pride? Yes.. The Afghan nation are a proud bunch - the Russians failed to tame them and now the American are wasting billions failing too. I read an interesting article about the aims of Al Queda. The main remit was not to start a traditional war on the West which they know they can't really win - the idea was to create maximum impact for little outlay - the West will then bankrupt themselves fighting an invisible enemy - meanwhile the desert states control the global oil price and do the yanks in the arrse. Clever tactics that have worked extremely well. Credit where its due - the afghans invited the yanks over for a bun fight and have given them an ass- whooping. Basic decency says you don't pisss on other humans - dead or alive. I think you will find that 90 percent of the worlds heroin comes from Afghanistan and funds the Talibans terrorism .... 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
