What about all those British troops in Iraq?


But wouldn't Bush mind Blair pulling out of Iraq?

If Britain wanted to deploy overseas, the US wasn't going to ask them "Are you sure you're ready for it?"


It might have been nice if they asked tho - before sending all their troops to Iraq and leaving us in the shit. After all, you invaded Afghanistan in the first place.

Bush started the job, why should we be expected to finish it? The Soviet Union couldn't subdue Afghanistan - 3000 brits sure ain't gonna do it.

The real question you need to be asking is why British Military commanders told the British government that they were capable of deploying overseas, when this clearly wasn't the case.


I think it was far more a political dicision than a military one. Certainly the military commanders are now realising they have nowhere near enough troops or equipment. We're begging NATO for help but they sensibly see it's a lost cause and arn't sending anywhere near enough.

America has 20,000 troops in Afghanistan, WAY more than Britain

Yeah but clearly 20,000 isn't enough. It's no use having 20,000 americans in Kabul while the Taliban are kicking shit out of the Brits down in the Helmand province.

The UK ruled Afghanistan, Iraq, Egypt, Palistine, Iran, Syria.  Including many others in that region along time ago.  All were granted indepedance and now they moan because they are poor and start silly unofficial wars.  About time we moved back in and took over sovereignty.

Fact is if UK and US went to war, you know you'd lose.  Even the CIA World Factbook (available online) states  that Europe has a population much larger than the United States and way more firepower combined.  That conversation is getting boring now though.

As an earlier poster said, it's in both our interests to remain together rather than distance ourselves.  Put your flag away and stop talking patriotic nonsense.  If the USA came under attack from a country, the UK would be first there and vice versa, (Apart from you in the Falklands War when Argentina invaded the Falkland Islands, and  you remained "neutral", pfft, so we did it ourselves even though we were on the other side of the world, ten times further than you were).

Now can we move on.... before North Korea tests a nuclear bomb & US & UK have to yet again threaten them.  Seeing as the rest of the world is scared. *yawn*

P.S.

To:  Schwammel  -  Cyprus Bases, Indian Ocean Bases, Australian Bases & a few Canadian Bases are leased to the USA from the UK.  So that kinda shoots your "hill" philosophy out the water.  Plus we have plenty of hills :smile:

lol, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, UK is all one.  Start on one, and you're in deep shit.  :smile:  Gotta laugh at the rowing boat thing though lol, hey we had a rowing boat in UK too but one of our oars broke, so we keep going in circles now.  :smile:

So the Royal Navy bought a Raft tied with string from some Mexican and it came with metal oars!  It even has a catapult on the front to throw rocks at ships.

Total army combined is in excess of over 230,000,000 military personnel.  That was was my point.  As compared to United States 54,000,000 military personnel.  Hence USA always asking the UK for help in wars.

Anyway, this conversation is going nowhere fast.  End of.




The UK would beat the USA with that?  You're so funny!  :crazy2:

It sure would be funny seeing as you couldn't even fight off a small island like Japan without dropping 2 Atomic bombs.... and laughing as the the children/elderly got blown to pieces.  Got your clean underwear ready?  :crazy2:

No, you just put a cover on top of it and sold it to Canada telling us they were submarines. :wink:

Whoa there buddy. You are clearly not getting what I was saying. For 1 I am the furthest thing from a flag waving patriot as you will find. I am saying that the UK and the US are both feeding off each other. A very large portion of the british income is from the US, would you even begin to deny that? If the US falls we are taking you with us, and europe too don't kid yourself. Granted you guys will recover alot sooner than we would, but we are far too connected to think all will be roses in europe if the US falls.

As to my personal opinion the US govt does not represent my feelings or opinions and if anything they are the greatest oppressor to ever exist on the planet. The UK is no great shining light either, though the people of the UK certainly seem more grounded in reality than americans but your govt is just as fucked up as ours.

Whoaahh, hold your horses. I totally agree. Think we got our wires crossed somewhere with meanings being misinterpreted as other meanings. US & UK Rule anyway, no doubt there..... let's leave it at that.

barfight... you crack me up, lol @ submarine....
