Back to the British, they were humiliated by by the iranians, and in Basra and in Helmand province .looked good some years ago against Argentina though
Charles Martel: It's just politics, when you have hot heads on all sides some sort of activity like this is expected. We got our people back safe and sound and that is all that matters. You guys must know that kinda thing from cold war incidents involving spying, embassy kick outs, etc.
As for Basra.. Our military chiefs have kicked some butt over some of the reasons why with the government... Openly in interviews. Ex army chiefs have confirmed and backed up what was said.
.. and btw.. we are leaving Basra quicker then you guys are leaving the rest of Iraq. set backs happen, but it's what you do after to correct that counts.
