British Soldiers to spill more blood for America and Israels Oil and Territorial Wars till
at least 2008.
One third (33%) of UK Troops medically evacuated so far. Are we really winning?
"States are not moral agents; they are vehicles of power, which operate in the interests of
the particular internal power structures of their societies. So anybody who intervenes in
another country . . . is going to be intervening for their own purposes -- that's always
true in history." Noam Chomsky. A clever American.
The opening photo in this article, which is not altered in any way, shows
an Iraqi resistance fighter with a photo, presumably, of his young child.
He is fighting for this child, his family and home and has seen his Country
invaded and family and friends and neighbours killed. For this man, the war
is unavoidable. He might get a payment, like some Iraqi resistance volunteers,
but his reason for fighting is legitimate and we'd do the same in his position.
We'd have no choice. The former Black Watch and other soldiers are fighting for
a variety of reasons, mostly a wage packet if were completely honest. Some
soldiers are carrying on a family tradition no doubt, but it's a pay cheque
for most, and few could argue that that they are in Iraq to protect there
families and loved ones from attack or an actual threat.
"And to George W Bush, we say - you have asked us to "bring it on". And so have we.

possibly by an Englishman. The video is one of the best propaganda videos
from the Iraqis, better that the crap the MOD dishes out. And more honest.

The Children of Iraq
As UK troops were united with there families, there were a few tears shed.
For the children of Iraq, they cry for far more serious reasons. The reason they cry
is linked to the fact that there is a war going on in there country. With well over
100,000 Iraqis killed in this smash and grab oil raid, the children who survive are
facing a bleak Christmas. Diarrhea and nutrition deficiencies are affecting hundreds
of thousands of Iraqi children due to the predictable chaos which comes in war.
Before we went to war with Iraq, before we bombed it with depleted uranium and
forced them to endure a decade of UN sanctions, Iraq was a relatively rich nation which
could easily feed itself. The photo above is more proof that our 'good intentions' have
turned Iraq into a graveyard. Before we decided to meddle in Iraqs affairs,
there children were as well looked after as most in the the UK. Now it's a
different story.
"In recent months, I have been increasingly alarmed by the evidence from inside
Iraq that despite sanctions, despite the damage done to his capability in the
past, despite the UN Security Council Resolutions expressly outlawing it, and
despite his denials, Saddam Hussein is continuing to develop WMD, and with
them the ability to inflict real damage upon the region, and the stability
of the world." Some of lies still up on the Ministry of Defence website in the form of
new labours report on weapons of mass destruction titled 'IRAQ'S WEAPONS OF MASS
DESTRUCTION THE ASSESSMENT OF THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT.' Other quotes from this document
are included at various points in the article, the 'evidence' is still on the
MOD website and is avaliable in .pdf (acrobat reader) format

One Third of UK Troops medically evacuated
The total of UK troops 'medically evacuated' from the Gulf is 2,754 since the 1st
March 2003. The figures include soldiers with serious injuries and severe psychological
disorders. As stated in the Observer newspaper (02 12 04) - "The latest figures from the
MoD show that 461 soldiers deployed in Iraq have been treated for mental health problems,
50 of whom were diagnosed as suffering from serious post-traumatic stress disorders. At
least 12 have lost one or more limbs and scores more have suffered permanent harm from
traumatic brain injuries or wounds that damage organs or the spine." We might
also ask how many of those troops are suffering the first signs of Gulf War 2 Syndrome.
Given the MOD's past habit of pouring lethal poisons on there own troops, just to test
the effects. Given that British troops were once placed in the vicinity of nuclear
test explosions - just to test the effects - any British soldiers volunteering to
be jabbed with a series of injections over in Iraq are asking for trouble. If
the injections are not causing the effects - then perhaps depleted uranium may
well send British soldiers home carrying the seeds of there own future destruction.
The high casualty figure of almost 3000 troops evacuated is currently about 33% or
one third of the total troop levels. Janes defence weekly reported that troop
levels were at 8,900 a few months back. This is an astounding hidden casualty
rate. Given that soldiers are generally fitter and healthier than the rest of
us; this is a worrying level of casualties indeed. The release of these figures
have not so far been widely publicised, perhaps because they point to the war
being one that we are actually losing.
Fighting for the upper class and royals.
The Black Watch are no more as plans to amalgamate the regiment have already been
announced (Dec 16th 2004). Scottish National Party MP, Annabelle Ewing, was ordered
out of the Commons chamber by the Speaker after calling Geoffrey Hoon a "backstabbing coward".
The Black Watch will now be amalgamated into the Royal Regiment of Scotland. The actual
Black Watch regiment was established way back in 1624 when the government of the day
started raising Independent Companies to protect the property of the rich and royalty
from rebellious Clans of Scots. The lyrics of "God save the Queen", contains
the line "rebellious Scots to crush". Much of Scotland is still owned by
the descendents of the original British or mostly English upper class and royal
thieves who plundered Scotland, as seen portrayed in the movie 'Braveheart' or in a
more truthful account in your local library which documents land seizures and atrocities.
Though the British Army tries to paint a picture of the past as one in which 'we' won
great victories, for the peoples who's Countries we occupied, they often begged to
differ with our accounts of glory.
The Black Watch have long left Camp 'incoming fire' Dogwood and had a brief
stop at there HQ in Wiltshire from were most were leaving to spend Christmas with there
families for a break. For them, it won't really be over until the war on Iraq itself is
over and America is beaten back to her own shores. It's likely that the Americans have
more plans for the 'awesome' Black Watch. Needless to say we will wish these working
class lads well and hope that they enjoy life this Christmas, as we would to all working
class people wherever they are. This website has a few readers who are serving or ex
soldiers and Kirkby Times has stood up for ex soldiers suffering from Gulf war syndrome,
plus the old heroes who are treated like absolute sh** in there own Country. Sadly,
another British regiment will be sent to replace the Black Watch at some point in the
near future, and 900 more UK reservists or Territorial Army, will likely plug the gaps
in the Shi'ite South which is heading towards a very difficult period in which an
election might see chaos. The Black Watch have set a precedent and now any lad
joining the British Army may as well just pack a stars and stripes T shirt in
the kit bag. America has also given bad news to more American soldiers and Reservists
who will strengthen the forces over there in Iraq to 150,000 in preparation for
the elections.

"Why do we soldiers have to dig through local landfills for pieces of scrap metal and
compromised ballistic glass to uparmour our vehicles?" A question posed by US Army Spc
Thomas Wilson (Reservist) to US Secretary of Defence Donald Rumsfeld when he visited troops
recently. (Dec 2004) - And we were told that British Troops were the 'borrowers'.

A Tethered Goat
According to BBC correspondent David Loyn, who was embedded with Black Watch
troops, soldiers have been acting as the "tethered goat" and 'trying to encourage an
attack on one of their own Warrior fighting vehicles to trap insurgents'. This tactic seems
cruel, and if British soldiers are being used in this manner, it seems that it worked perfectly,
although lives were lost and also limbs in 'flushing out' two suicide bombers to
'expose' themselves and kill the 'tethered goats'. (Which they planned to
do anyway) Worse still perhaps, is the fact that the British Public are also being
used in a similar manner. We haven't signed a dotted line saying that we'll fight
a war, have we? Yet Blair himself is almost provoking an attack on the UK, and if
Sept 11th was the work of Americas Enemies, then we've surely guaranteed an attack
here with Blair's sickening closeness to Bush and his warmongering insane neo
conservative religious lunatics. The more the British Army becomes embroiled in
a war of attrition in Iraq, the more chance there is that the UK will see attacks
on our own soil.
Iraqi Resistance, Irish resistance.
We need only look at the Provisional IRA campaign which began as a few
men who could shoot half straight and hundreds of enthusiastic amateurs who gradually
trained in various military skills and supplied the infrastructure of support needed
to sustain an armed resistance movement. The Iraqi resistance, by contrast, has
thousands of men who can already shoot straight and aim missiles straight and mortars.
They have a massive head start on the IRA, not least with the 360 tons of high
explosives they have - and like the Irish, they have a sense of history and a
dedicated almost religious belief in the sovereignty of there own nation. The
reason us British or English lost against the IRA was down to one simple fact.
You cannot occupy a long established sovereign Country without provoking resistance.
To call the resulting resistance of an occupation an 'act of terrorism' or 'insurgency'
is clearly double standards given that the British Army troops themselves would do exactly
the same thing if England or the UK was invaded.
"When US forces are under pressure again, they are going to go straight to the UK and
say we want your people as quickly as possible, and the UK will
almost certainly deliver," Charles Heyman, chief analyst at Britain's Jane's
Defence Weekly, (AFP.)
Potential suicide bomber drove a car at speed towards troops
Whilst the Black Watch were in Camp Dogwood, The Ministry of Defence said
a man was shot as he drove a car at speed towards troops on November 7th 2004 near
the former Iraqi base, south of Baghdad. A ministry spokesman in London said at
the time that "We have opened an investigation into the November 7 incident," He said
soldiers "feared the driver was a suicide bomber" and they "opened fire
from a Warrior armoured vehicle parked at the checkpoint." He also said the
soldiers "pushed the dead man's car away to check if it contained explosives". They
were then "called away to another incident before being able to carry out full checks"
Now, are we reading this right? They shot and killed a man they suspected of
being a suicide bomber, then banged into this potential car bomb and just left
the car before actually being able to say whether it was packed with explosives?
It seems so. Reuters goes on to add that "The defence ministry said the car was
gone when soldiers returned a few days later."
The incident happened on the day that two other British Black Watch soldiers
were seriously injured in a suicide bomb attack at another vehicle checkpoint on the
west bank of the Euphrates river. This fact is important if the shooting incident
happened after the suicide bombing operation in which the old 'tethered goat' trick was
put into effect. The media never made clear the sequence of events. If news of the
other bombing had been radioed through, soldiers would be more than twitchy. USA
Troops have been blasting away at 'suspect' vehicles ever since the invasion.
Families, including children, have been killed and horrificly injured in such
incidents.
Kirkby Times is not blaming the man who fired; he was a tethered goat, with a gun
to protect him, and he will be investigated as should any soldier involved in the
death of a civilian. More to the point, he now has to spend the rest of his life living
with the fact he has killed someone. Maybe we've watched too many Hollywood war movies
and assume that men, who kill, even in clear self defence, will simply brush the matter
off. To push a man take another's life is a terrible burden to give anyone, a burden
that isn't always noticeable in the heat of battle to young men. Our politicians thought
it a good idea to pass on this burden of responsibility so as not to get blood on there
own hands. They are cowards who never risk there own necks yet send ill equipped young
soldiers to an area which has been a graveyard for many young British lads in the past.
New labour politicians are the ones who are ultimately to blame for sending young lads
there who are used as bait to lure the Iraqis. It was, after all, the original
Tony Blair lies which led the Black Watch playing good buddies with the USA.
Let us not forget that this war is being fought on a basis of a pack of lies.
"Intelligence reports make clear that he sees the building up of his WMD capability,
and the belief overseas that he would use these weapons, as vital to his
strategic interests, and in particular his goal of regional domination.
And the document discloses that his military planning allows for some of
the WMD to be ready within 45 minutes of an order to use them." IRAQ'S WEAPONS OF MASS
DESTRUCTION THE ASSESSMENT OF THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT.
A Warning sign in Arabic
Sky news reports continued on the incident and stated that "The
man was shot as he drove a car at speed towards a checkpoint near Camp
Dogwood, the regiment's base in Iraq." The article adds that
"the car had passed a sign in Arabic at the side of the road warning the
driver not to go further or he would be fired on". This was an MOD spokesman quoted by Sky.
Shunt the vehicle to see if there's a bomb in there!
Other reports from AP (American associated press reports) stated that
"Believing there may be a bomb in the car, soldiers fired on it with the
Warrior's 30mm cannon. They were then ordered to shunt the vehicle with their
Warrior to see if it blew up. It did not."
Er, hold on a second - So they razed the car with rounds from a 30mm
cannon, and still no bang. Then, just to make sure that the car was not packed
with enough explosives to blow up a warrior armoured vehicle and kill anyone
standing by, they bang into it, with a warrior vehicle. Although the warrior
is armoured it would still be very much blown apart by a big enough vehicle borne
Improvised Explosive Device (VBIED), or a 'car bomb' as Civvy street would call it.
"I believe that faced with the information available to me, the UK Government has been
right to support the demands that this issue be confronted and dealt with. We must ensure
that he [Saddam] does not get to use the weapons he has, or get hold of the weapons he wants." IRAQ'S
WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION THE ASSESSMENT OF THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT.
From Cannon Fodder to IED Fodder
Americans have had thousands of troops suffer terrible traumatic
injuries as some form of improvised explosive device (IED) goes off by them
or makes actual contact with an armoured vehicle or a flimsy Humvee vehicle
which US troops patch up with any old armour they can get there hands on.
Approx 30% of USA casualties and fatalities can be put in this category of
being caught out by an IED of some form. The term 'IED fodder' is one that this
website introduced to the public. Younger readers might wonder why this phrase is
used - and the reason is that 'cannon fodder' was a term given to working class
soldiers in wars gone by. Being killed by a shell, fired by a cannon of some form,
was so common that the term 'cannon fodder' was used to describe the fresh recruits
and those heading to the front. A soldier, especially infantry on the front lines,
hated cannons, as they could do little to stop an incoming shell hit them. Fodder
is a term given for the food given to cattle - which was appropriate as the men
at the frontlines in wars were seen often as no more than cattle to be herded
and to be slaughtered. Cannons feed off the blood of men, hence the term
cannon fodder. Nowadays, in today's modern urban guerrilla war environment,
the most common form of death for a soldier is by an improvised explosive
device. It is also the biggest cause of injuries, and for every person
killed by these devices, there are many injured.
Why shunting cars to test for explosives is not clever
There is at least one Iraq Resistance video of a USA 67 ton Abrahams main
battle tank being blown up into little pieces. This is done with an amount of explosives
that could easily fit into a car two or three times over with ease. Could we ask what
British Army Manuel in Urban Warfare now has soldiers ram cars to see if there are bombs
in them? If the car shot up by the Black Watch was packed out with explosives, then the
Black Watch would be possibly doing the so called 'suicide bombers' job for him by
ramming it. If any explosives actually did go off, then the commanding officer or
whoever dictates tactics on the ground would be looking a few of 'his' lads dead,
and for what? Maybe the MOD could announce "They bravely died disabling a roadside bomb".
This point of how to react in the event of a possible car bomb is important,
what commanding officer in his right mind could dream of ordering men to shunt
a possible car bomb? We would, of course, presume that no commanding officers
led by example in this little exercise. Perhaps the 'shunt' was simply to push
a wrecked shot up car off the road as is usual standard procedure, once its
determined its not in fact a car bomb.
Dead men tell no tales
We'll never know why the driver of the car chose to allegedly go through
the roadblock. Dead men tell no tales in this World and the USA Army policy of
deliberately shooting journalists means that many Iraqis are not likely to be
able to inform us about these incidents as and when they do happen. The man is
probably buried by now and the UK Army top brass perhaps quietly offering cash
compensation as they have done in Basra if the victim has a family who can trace
him, or recognise him. These roadblocks are an inconvenience and a danger to all
Iraqis. Maybe the driver had seen his wife and kids killed by US/UK bombs and
was fed up at the British were stopping him - who knows? But one thing is for
certain - if the UK troops were not there, the odds are that the Iraqi driver
would be alive and perhaps moaning about Saddam to his wife, just the way we
moan about our leaders. He'd be alive and the Black Watch lads and there
interpreter who now lie dead and some limbless, would be looking forward
to Christmas as would there family and friends. Over 100,000 Iraqis could
have celebrated Ramadan recently, but sadly they've been killed, as the
USA tries to steal oil under the false pretences of bringing 'democracy' to Iraq.
As American Generals call the Black Watch 'awesome', (they also call killing
people and eating pizza 'awesome') let us recall that America used them
to cover there tails so they could slaughter hundreds of men, women and children
in Fallujah. Despite claims of taking the town, battles are still going on and
Americans are still being killed there and elsewhere. The Black Watch's last
mission was this 'tag-along' with the Yanks. They would have been better
employed coming back home to the UK and saving our own Country from the
enemy within right here. Ironically they are fighting for the only real
enemy the British people have, namely the British Government.
The Price of 'Taking' Fallujah
So far 5 Black Watch soldiers have been killed; others are seriously wounded
and will never fight again. Remember that there mission was directly connected to the
vicious bombardment then intermittent street fighting and further bombardments in
Fallujah. Hundreds of Iraqi men women and kids were slaughtered by Americans while
the Black Watch got to 'first foot' with the Yanks. This is in preparation for
the rest of the British Army to now head to the badlands and 'get involved' if needs
arise. The Black Watch never seen Fallujah, they just saw photos of the so called headquarters
of insurgents and mugs and thugs. The US Marines supposedly 'found' lots of 'torture houses',
but despite the fact that many US Troops seem to possess digital cameras, nothing much
in the form of evidence seems to have emerged apart from the demented scrawling of the
far right AmeriKKKan press which applauds the fact US Marines have murdered people in
Mosques and offers a myriad of 'excuses' backed up by various lunatics. A US soldier
was jailed recently for 3 years for shooting a 16 yr old injured Iraqi who was on a
bin wagon collecting rubbish with relatives. The Americans shot it up, and anything
with wheels there is in serious danger of being shot up. Even a bloodstained fridge
was highlighted by American media pundits as 'proof'' of torture in Fallujah.
Kirkby Times and many other independent websites have already reported on the sick
perverted and very much REAL photos and videos of prison torture and sexual
abuse taken by and now guarded by the Americans. Americans think that forcing
Muslim men to simulate oral sex and other acts on each other is fair play.
No wonder the Iraqis are trying to kill them. What man wouldn't want to inflict
damage on anyone sick enough to sexually abuse them for amusement? America is
a sick nation. It is up to Americans to tackle this sickness, but they have
another 4 years of it to endure. Bush has given himself more powers than Hitler
ever had. So has Tony Blair. These powers exceed the powers Hitler had, as
he only relied on paperwork, whilst we have a high tech dictatorship in the
making. The USA are already doing iris scans and fingerprinting of people
in Fallujah. It saves putting the tattoo on the arm, a tactic used by the
Nazis on concentration camp inmates.
Below, this photo was offered as 'proof' of a torture chamber in Fallujah.
"The Sunday Times tracked down the "private" planes of CIA front companies that Bush uses
to carry victims of his lawless abductions to torture chambers in Jordan, Egypt, Libya
and Uzbekistan, where "credible" evidence can be obtained with fists, cattle prods,
rape, drugs and starvation. For example, witnesses told of hooded American agents
grabbing captives in Sweden, stripping them, jamming drugs up their rectums, putting
them in diapers and chains, and bundling them off to Egypt's hellhole prisons --
whose tortures have already produced generations of violent extremists." Moscow Times Article republished on the excellent informationclearinghouse website (here http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article7453.htm) describing the latest American torture exposes. America has given itself the right to seize anyone anywhere and imprison them forever, if need be.
Kill one and more keep coming
As predicted, the deaths of the Black Watch in the area would become
a reason for them to be there. There only reason in fact. New labour slyly sent
them to a war zone which would guarantee casualties. The Armies pride, and the pride
of most English or Scotch people, always dictates that they hit back after being hit
themselves. Sadly, they often hit out at the wrong people because there paymasters
are not concerned with the morality of war. They are concerned only with the plunder
they can amass. The rich and powerful use the pride and misplaced loyalty of our
young men to fill there bank accounts with this plunder. The final raids the Black
Watch took part in netted little apart from there own deaths and injuries. The
initial and predictably futile attempts to leaflet locals and win 'hearts and minds'
soon degenerated to the Black Watch shooting at least one possible local and kicking down
doors and raiding houses of many others. A much publicised 4 hour shoot-out and chase
after possible 'suicide bombers', saw 2 suspects out of 10 triumphantly arrested
with claims of local Muslim leaders fingering the accused. Our papers nodded
approvingly as if the mission was now a success. But alas, our potential suicide
bombers were quietly released without charge after supposed witnesses later
realised they could not identify them. Two Iraqi resistance fighters or basic
volunteers are dead, after driving cars packed with explosives at the Black
Watch. The Iraqi Resistance command in the area is unlikely to be affected
by the arrests and any 'hard treatment' by the British soldiers will see the
resolve of the resistance become more steadfast. A resistance movement on
this scale is self replicating. Vietnam was similar. You kill one and more
keep coming.
America's insane multicultural racism
As ever, Americas insane racism always gets them in trouble as they underestimate
the ability of 'gooks' or 'Arabs' or any foreign fighting force that is non
American. The Yanks are due a big defeat sooner or later. Every Empire falls and America,
like it or not, is heading towards economic freefall when they realise there smash and grab
robbery is doomed to failure. America would not have dreamed of robbing China or Europe or
Russia in this blatant manner, but Arabs are the new 21st century niggers, and even a black
US marine can join in with his white and Hispanic US Marine devil dog comrades and shoot
up sand niggers.
When it all goes wrong for America and the Iraqis look like they might force a
big extension onto the Vietnam Wall of remembrance, America will pull out, probably
under a hail of fire, with whatever British regiment is unlucky enough to be sharing
the company of the USA troops.
The Lies of War
For Pte Tukatukawaqa, Sgt Stuart Grey, Pte Paul Lowe, Pte Scott McArdle and Private
Kevin McHale - there days are no more. Each death will soon be forgotten by the politicians
who forced this deception onto us. British politicians and the MOD covered up the Gulf War
syndrome deaths and there predecessors even turned a blind eye to the murder of British
soldiers in sick barbaric experiments using various chemical weapons and God knows what
else in Porton Down. I see the smirking face of Blair and his cabinet on the front
benches of the televised Parliament highlights, and I feel very angry indeed. The
thought that some of my own relatives died and were imprisoned in the past wearing
the British Forces uniform to protect and reward this current privileged rabble of
new labour traitors, truly makes me sick. Our heroes of WW1 and WW2 would turn in
there graves if they saw the mess that the UK is in. Those heroes were told they
would be fighting the 'war to end all wars'. They were lied to, just as YOU are
being lied to.
Stupid Americans give 360 tons of explosives to people who want to kill them
The 360 tons of stolen explosives recently gifted by Dumb Americans to the
Iraqis and featured in all the news reports, were mainly HMX and RDX. These two particular
high explosives will only be set off by use of a detonator. They are two very desirable
explosives for your average ex Iraqi Army bloke and all resistance fighters in general.
RDX is widely used by the military and is also the main explosive used in plastique explosive,
the infamous putty like substance which goes bang when an electrical charge triggers off a
detonator.
Although the Black Watch opened up with bullets fired from a 30mm gun, whether this
would actually set off these explosives is uncertain. If the explosives were packed in
old missile casings or pipes/barrels etc, even the 30mm blasting away might not blow things
up. If I were a soldier asked to go to Iraq, these are questions I feel would be important
to me and the rest of the IED fodder. Small arms fire would not set HDX or RDX off even
if you fired into it direct - unlike dynamite or TNT which would blow up in your face.
If a car was literally packed with RDX, the act of banging or shunting it, would not
necessarily prove or disprove that there was any bomb in the car. Given no-one knows
what explosives might be used, and it could well be a mix and match of anything, then
maybe banging into a suspected vehicle borne improvised explosive device is not clever
to say the least.
Another Day in Iraq, Another Improvised Explosive Device
The story and video-frame 'screen shots' below show the carnage that a few pounds of
high explosives can do.
Below, this old missile has been packed out with explosives and then wired up to
be detonated by remote control.
The actual video appeared on an Islamic website earlier
this year and was soon the subject of much internet chatter though it never seemed to
be shown on mainstream TV stations. The dimensions of this improvised explosive are
perhaps 5 foot long by some 12 inches across. You can see where the top of the missile/bomb
casing has been sealed after the tip has been taken off and the missile casing packed with
explosives. A wire is also noticeable. This wire is the receiver and will send a signal to
a detonator which will be set off using a phone or radio or whatever electronic equipment
is at hand. Given that hundreds of tons of high explosive have been stolen, the Iraqi
resistance fighters have the luxury of using pure high explosives, when perhaps they
might have to resort to less effective home made mixes. The results for US Troops are
horrendous as the 30% USA figure of deaths from such explosions indicates. This
improvised explosive device featured here could easily have been used in a car,
but it is instead buried under the road, and a few (unseen) Iraqi men make cheerful
sounding comments with the inevitable 'Allahu Akbar' as they scrape the earth back
on top of there device. These men seem pretty causal, as if they've planted many
of these things.
In this frame we see 67 tons of sophisticated state of the art Abrahams tank
moving along a road at a speed of up to 40 miles per hour.
Inside, young
American men unknowingly speak or think there last thoughts on this Earth.
There days of riding in tanks whilst attempting to steal the oil in someone
else's Country are shortly coming to an end. The video was taken from the
window of a nearby building and a cheap built in microphone records several
of the Iraqi fighters praying to Allah as the tank approaches, singing what
seems to be verses from the Koran or some similar religious book or text.
Just as one of the fighters finishes off his prayer with a tone of almost
triumphant expectation - a massive explosion is heard.
Afterwards, you can actually see
pieces of the tank falling down to the ground long after the noise is heard. 67 tons
of reinforced tank is blown up in an instant. The Iraqis immediately shout out 'Allahu Akbar'
and chatter excitedly at there handiwork. The tanks can carry up to 10 personal,
normal operational crew is 4 but the tanks are often used to carry more. How many
were killed was not stated, but it is safe to presume that no-one got out of that
tank alive.
"What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans and the homeless, whether the
mad destruction is wrought under the name of totalitarianism or the holy name of
liberty or democracy?" Mahatma Gandhi, "Non-Violence in Peace and War" Indian ascetic &
nationalist leader (1869 - 1948)
Terry Jemison of the Dept of Veterans Affairs said that of the 592,561
discharged USA veterans from the 1991 war in Iraq, 179,310 are receiving disability
compensation and another 24,763 cases are pending.
Blairs parting gift to British Soldiers
Dr. Doug Rokke is a former director of the U.S. Armies Depleted Uranium Project.
He was involved in the "clean up" of 34 Abraham's tanks and Bradley armoured
vehicles hit by friendly fire during the 1991 Gulf War. Today he suffers from the ill
effects of DU in his body as do many British Gulf War vets, some of whom need to study
the effects of Depleted Uranium, seek out there former comrades and the American vets
and demand independent tests. The USA Dept. of Energy tested Rokke in 1994 and found
that he was excreting more than 5,000 times the permissible level of depleted uranium.
Rokke was not informed of the results until 1996. The MOD will probably admit in 2010
that there are British soldiers with high levels of DU in there bodies. By then, for
many, it will be too late. If you're an ex soldier, and you were in Iraq - you can
thank Tony Blair for allowing this disgusting substance to be used again despite
the evidence which proves that it is reckless and dangerous to release this
substance in a populated built up area.
Apologies for the break in news, it's been the longest period of time that the website
has been quiet for. Some would be happy if we remained silent, but alas for the
corrupt and deceitful political dross of Kirkby and Knowsley and Liverpool, the
show must go on, as it were. If you've emailed lately or sent an article rest assured
it will be go up soon.
