I gotta congratulate General Mike Jackson when Bill Clinton and his military commanders launched their war in Kosovo, when the Russians took pristina and US General Wesley Clarke ordered pristina to be re taken by NATO. General Jackson said "I am not going to start world war 3 for your you" It is good to know that are a lot of good people like this in the British Armed Forces a credit to Britain.

In less than three months the Saville Enquiry will report on Bloody Sunday in 1972 where Jackson was 2nd in command of the Paras in (London) Derry who shot dead 14 peaceful (they were on a protest march but they were acting peacefully) Catholics in the back (wiki it to see the circumstances).

America came and turned off Iraq oil wells so that but a trickle leaves their pumps

When the Americans turned off the oil, they shut down a huge source of Iraqi revenue and drove the price of oil up from $20 a barrel to $112 a barrel

If the Americans people cannot see they were duped, that the war cost American lives $4 Trillion dollars, and drive oil up from $20 a barrel, then they deserve what they get

So we can thank the Brit's for sectarian violence
