Imagine a week before D-Day Winston Churchill comes on national BBC radio and says: "Wish our forces all the best luck for the invasion of Europe next week, and don't tell any Germans you know.":eek::rolleyes:

Do the media think we're stupid?:mad: Maybe they do. It could be connected to the "Cult of the Solider" that I've written about before. Maybe they expect us to fall gibbering to the floor in fits of religious ecstasy in front of the Cult's altar. Questions about military strategy and why the forces would sacrfice the element of surprise so absurdly might enter our head and be surpressed because "It's the domain on the high-priests! The general and marshalls of... swoon!... the military!":rolleyes:

This leads me to wonder if this whole new offensive against the Taliban is just a publicity stunt of some kind.

How ya doing m8??

Yes a strange one all this PR. Bet the troops are really pissed off that the Taliban know more of the operational plans than they do !!!

Cant fathom it out unless its a diversion of some sorts. Like the msm said that area will now be infested with a variety of IEDS , and if the Taliban had any sense they would fuck off and come back another day, not rocket science is it :)

Hi EM. I'm not bad, mate. Are you?:)

I suspect this may be down to the terrible PR problem the govt has over the war. I suspect there are many more deaths than the govt are saying. This is because of the number of forces fatalities who pass through my hospital. The govt can't go back on its commitment to the UNICAL pipeline, but the public want the troops brought home. Solution? They do a media-spin operation like they do for everything else!:rolleyes:

I'm down to 5 ciders a day... and another 5 in the evening and another 5 at night. I'm almost ready to drink with you West Country boys!:D

Yes, they should bring all the troops home now and keep them here until thyey're needed for their legitimate role. As I've said elsewhere, there's nothing immoral about a country having armed forces; so long as those forces are only used to defend that country, its people and its assets against armed assault.
