"The stunned Paras from 16 Air Assault Brigade were forced to tell the

country telling them it was too early to surrender."

If the troops are there to free the Iraquis from an evil dictator, why were
the Iraquis sent *back*? Is the calendar more important than the publically
stated goal of the war???

Me puzzled :-S

As well, isn't sending them back almost an automatic death sentence?  Surely
SH will hear about this, and he is known to kill anyone who has a dissenting
opinion--these folks who were sent back... I have grave concerns for their
lives...

(...) "Grave" would be correct in this instance. But hey, they were just Iraqis -- so who cares? What? It's not funny? -- Hop-Frog (22 years ago, 17-Mar-03, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
