Smart move: Dutch abandon Afghanistan
"Derek C" wrote in message
... Nobody in recent history has ever successfully invaded and controlled Afghanistan, even the greatest Superpowers of their day (Russia, British Empire, etc), so why should the Yanks and the modern day Brits do any better? This was a fool's errand dreamed up by that fool George W Bush and his pet poodle crony Tony Blair. If it was intended to suppress terrorism, it has had entirely the opposite effect. ......and the whole British intervention voted for by the Tories and 'New Labour'. |

Only because they were fooled by the 'Tony knows best' rhetoric. The Lib-Dems voted against the interventions in Iraq and Afghanistan and several New Labour cabinet ministers resigned over these issues, including Claire Short and Robin Cook. |
