This article from the Daily Express, published in the same week as more of our soldiers die in Afghanistan, does express quite well one of the real reasons (the other one is to control an oil pipeline route) that we are in Afghanistan.
….. By far the most disturbing remark from General Richards was his claim that the British Army could be in Afghanistan for “up to 40 years”.
Such a timescale only shows the depth of the political and military establishment’s self-delusion and contempt for the British public. When our own nation is in such drastic decline it would be an outrage to go on pouring money into the tribal wastelands of Afghanistan for the next four decades.
The violent territorial disputes between warlords in that distant mountainous country have absolutely nothing to do with us. The top brass and the Labour Cabinet know that Britain has no genuine national interest in Afghanistan. That is why they come out with their propaganda about the wider importance of the war in defeating Islamic terrorism
within our borders. But this is just drivel. Islamic extremism in Britain has little connection to Afghanistan.The worst terrorist atrocities here, such as the London bombings or the attack on Glasgow airport, were committed by home-grown radicals.
A Government that really believed in tackling Muslim extremism would crack down on immigration from Asia and Africa, remove the dogma of multi-culturalism from the public sector and deport hard- liners instead of giving them legal aid and benefits.
Thanks to Labour we now have the grotesque paradox of British soldiers dying in Afghanistan in the fight against
militant Islam, yet the same militancy is flourishing within our country. Our troops are dying to liberate Afghan women
from vicious, superstitious misogyny yet policewomen in south Yorkshire wear burkas for a day to show their empathy with the Muslim community.Rather than planning to spend the next 40 years battling the Taliban in Asia our supine, Left-wing political elite should concentrate on halting the spread of sharia law, honour killings, forced marriages and hate sermons at home.
The hypocrisy of Labour is compounded by its cowardice. Machine politicians such as Jack Straw and David Miliband demand that young British soldiers lay down their lives in Afghanistan yet they themselves cringe pathetically in the face of Islamic aggression at home.
Desperate to appease the zealots they pass special religious discrimination laws, dish out grants to Muslim groups, clamp down on open debate about Islam and institutionalise direct favouritism towards ethnic minorities. They show far more concern about rewarding the enemies of our
country than our defenders.While British troops have been deprived of equipment, numbers and proper medical support Muslim terror suspects are lavished with legal aid and social security. It is sickening that our patriotic heroes in the armed forces should be led into war by a bunch of traitors, none of whom have the slightest concept of national pride.
They have ruined Britain with their economic mismanagement and their ideological fixation with multi-cultural diversity yet think they have the right to strut around the world, squandering lives and money in their arrogant socialist vision.
Interfering Socialists just cannot keep themselves from interfering where they have no business. For me the most chilling part of the report above comes nearer to the end:
Douglas Alexander, the International
Development Secretary, said in a speech last week that the Government wants to get “the building blocks of security in place in all fragile countries”.
There you go then. With under resourced and overworked armed forces our government is reserving the right to invade anywhere that they see fit to, “get the building blocks of security in place in all fragile countries”.
The British National Party would withdraw our armed forces from any wars that have nothing to do with us, such as Afghanistan, as soon as possible.
