2001: I came and conquered, and then left it
Afghanistan is place i don’t blog much about, but occasionally i have (my blog). George W Bush ‘won’ it in 2001 then installed an oil pipe line, and decided to invade Iraq since it had oil. – You know the rest.
The year now is 2009, while his daddy’s pipeline is secure what about the rest of Afghanistan ?
2009: Afghanistan
You know the rest and the ‘high’ cost now being seen on some streets and families as the dead return. It’s the media reporting that worries me here.
Bush lied we all know that, but i don’t ‘get’ why when soldiers die say one a day for a week is the media response it gets. Being soldier means foreign travel and the chance that they might die after all we do supply them with weapons.
While sad for there families , why is it now that eight years on that Afghanistan is now back in the spotlight? A cynic might say this will be the issue that will remove Gordon Brown from office in the next uk election.
Whatever the reason for the interest at least Daddys pipeline is safe – ‘Mission Accomplished’.
