The Daily Mail: Peter Hitchens has a dig at the New Labour over Afghanistan, Mr Hitchens writes the following, " a few political pygmies are too vain and too weak to admit that they have made a mistake. " This blog since started has supported our Armed Forces in Afghanistan but opposed the War, since July this has changed, we lost 21 soldiers in combat and 1 in a accident in July, this month alone we have lost 10 soldiers in combat. New Labour has shown its no Sir Winston Churchill when it comes to war, it has wanted to fight the War in Afghanistan on the cheap, thus our soldiers have not had the helicopters to transport them around, thus they have used land transport that cant defend against IEDs. But the UK after Iraq has to draw the line in Afghanistan, we have a long and bloody history in both Afghanistan and Iraq, but Afghanistan is now the main problem, we got chased out of Iraq by the the USA and Iraq, if Great in Great Britain is to mean something then it we have to stand and fight in Afghanistan. I disagree with the present Defence Secretary, Bob Ainsworth who stated that there was a mood of defeatism in the air over Afghanistan, the mood is one of reality, Afghanistan is going to cost, this blog has changed its stand due to the fact that to much UK blood has been spilled to walk away now, it would be cowardice in the face of the enemy to leave Afghanistan. But the support is conditional we need more troops and better equipment out there, our troops need and deserve the best, lets not let them down, they never lets us down.
