In 2003 we heard how we could fight two wars at the same time without putting our country at greater risk. A lot of military experts agreed with that assessment, but the “decider” spoke so here we are 3 years later fighting two wars. Of course our efforts in the war that really matters, Afghanistan, are seriously curtailed and we have even seen the Taliban resurrect into a powerful force in the war torn country.

We of course have a coalition in Afghanistan, but how is it doing?

Britain is so short of helicopters in Afghanistan that military chiefs are being forced to scour the world for civilian aircraft to support its troops after the US rejected a plea to help plug the shortfall.

(emphasis mine)

So we don’t even have the resources to help in the war against those who actually attacked us on September 11? So where are all of our helicopters?

The Independent on Sunday can also reveal that reconnaissance and intelligence missions in Afghanistan are being affected by the lack of smaller and more flexible helicopters. But senior military officials said that when UK commanders asked for temporary deployment of US helicopters in Afghanistan, they were told there were none to spare.

(emphasis mine)

So our resources are being drained by Iraq and costing us in the real war on terror. So how safe do you feel? What if we did end up in a war against North Korea or Iran? We don’t even have the helicopters to fight those wars now.

And as far as us snubbing the U.K. on this request. Well George – either your with us or your with the terrorists. Considering every decision the “decider” has made has done nothing but strengthen the terrorists, I would safely say he is with the terrorists.
