    Good for the Danes, wonder how many other NATO and Non-NATO nations will follow suit.

    Farnan when are you going to learn not to be happy when announcements are made that yet more soldiers are going to be murdering innocent people in a god forsaken far off land?

    If you consider the Taliban innocent your opinion is extremely ed up.

    However, unlike the Taliban we don't intentionally target wedding parties (just yesterday a Taliban fighter threw a grenade and blew up a wedding party). And he does mean the Taliban as innocent, he's state before that they were good guys.

    And Empi Rapper, the ones we intend to kill shoot at us and declare themselves Taliban.

    Afghanistan seems like a black hole for the military.

    That's a lie, I never said the Taliban were good guys. Farnan has said that the people of Afghanistan are no better than dogs and it doesn't matter if a few thousand innocent ones get slaughtered by our bombs and bullets.

    Farnan, why don't you stop posting here about how great the coalition's murdering thugs are and instead go and help them kill people in Afghanistan yourself? Go on Farnan, go and help those despicable thugs you call our soldiers to kill some of the poorest people on the planet.

    maybe that Taliban fighter was acting on bad intelligence? he thought the wedding party was perhaps a meeting of coalition soldiers? we cant say for sure whether he intended to kill civillians? its awfully hard to distinguish between wedding parties and military meetings. even if you got predator drones, highly paid humint, sophisticated sigint all backed by the best intelligence assets in the world.

    And how do the coalition forces know that the thousands of people they are killing in Afghanistan are Taliban members? Do they all carry Taliban membership cards in their pockets?

    well the people that kind of shoot at them i think can safely be refered to as enemy combatants?

    now i can understand the arguments for iraq withdrawal (despite the fact that i disagree with that), but Afghanistan guys, as mentioned, is a completely different conflict that everyone supported in 2001.

    Also, the French, German, Finish and Swede contingents are expected to rise.

    Columbia is also set to join the force in February. Seems that the world is taking this war more seriously now.

    Or perhaps these countries are just queuing up [as one journalist eloquently put it] to be the first best friend of the 'new' America? Of course I welcome the fact that these people are now here to fight, but err....nearly 8 years? I half feel like telling them to piss off. That would be against what I've been ranting about for the last few months, so I'll just reluctantly say "Welcome to the suck".

    the quicker Britihs troops do the thing and leave the better off our country is.

    I assume you mean leave after the Taliban is beaten, in lines with your constant arguments.

    Once they are crippled. I'd let the ANA finish them off...an act of symbolism if you like.

    The thing is, both this and the Iraq war are destabilising our society, army and our government. The quicker it ends, the better.

    Do you honestly believe that bull ? I can't believe someone could be so ignorant to say that about our soldiers.
