Good luck to all those doing selection weekend at RMR London today through to Sunday

Selection weekend fun? Sounds like you've done it before? Could you message/post the layout of the weekend if you could.

The Vietnam/Iraq comparison weren't my words, but blunder or no blunder I hope the surge in US troops can at least curb the violence

Correct me if I'm wrong here; but iraqi citizens say that the militias give much more security than the coalition forces, but aren't the militias the major groups threatening the security in the first place?

Land Rover, 4 Tonner (DAF and Bedford), WIMIK, SNATCH, 8 Ton TM, all manual.

DROPS and Oshkosh, and I think Foden, all automatic.

Turns out I wasn't all wrong then

Bush's choice to send out 21,500 soldiers and marines has been said to be the biggest blunder in foreign policy since Vietnam by people in his own corner. UK plans to hand over control of Basra in the Spring of this year, regional handovers of provinces in southern Iraq are already underway You're ...
