General Chat

I think Hayley you'll find the only main party that would withdraw from Afghanistan...is the Lib Dems..I could be wrong on that though xx

George Bush said the same thing Muffy, and it's him behind all that, policing the world as he did.

OK, the perception was that Saddam was just a pain in the backside, until 9/11, when the perception changed to one of threat. Would sound reasonable until you remember that saddam was never a threat in the terrorist sense because he had nothing to do with Al queda.

They may have seen him as a threat in that they were believing he had WMD at the time, and as he had already invaded Kuwait, was a despot to his own people, who had committed genocide etc etc....but...


It, or he, had nothing whatsoever to do with 9/11. 9/11 was just an excuse for GW to go blundering in and finsh what daddy Bush started.

Bush said 'jump', Blair said 'how high?'

The main argument as I remember was the WMD which he said he hasnt got any of and never did have. Even before the Iraqy invasion Iraq has suffered god knows how many air attacks from the UK and USA...I do think George Bush was a bit too keen to invade Iraq and Mr Blair was even abit too keen to offer OUR boys services but thats by the by.

The only major party that didn't agree with the war were the Lib Dems.
Now, if Vince Cable was the leader, they may stand a chance!


...I just hope the Monster Raving Loony party are standing - a bit of sense may be in their manifesto!!!

Maggie stop confusing me lol

Haven't read all the thread sorry Hayley but to answer your question - I wish I understood a lot more about politics and I wish I had the time and inclination to study current affairs more but I don't. I've always voted for the same party since I was able to vote because when it comes to an election, they seem to me with what knowledge I do have, to be the most in tune with the way I see the world. Not saying I will always vote for them but I have so far.
