RE Britain’s withdrawal from Iraq. It’s about time. We only went after one man six years ago.
Gordon Brown says we have left the country in a better state than when we arrived. Both we and the Americans destroyed it.
We went in under a false statement and we destroyed the country’s infrastructure.
The death toll is more than 100,000 and the number of our troops killed is almost 200 with hundreds more suffering severe injuries, all at a cost of billions of pounds. All this for the sake of oil. Was the loss of life worth it?
