it's amazing isn't it?

The invasion of another people's country is not looking good so all the gung-ho-ness and tostesterone has leached from the government's pouch. We turned down a request to embed with Iraqis. Our civilian leadership is going to be nowhere near the military funeral today.
I was never a supporter of invading another country - after all, where do you draw the line - Zimbabwe? North Korea? Burma? Fiji? But now we have shat and vomited and trodden muck into their kitchen it would be the grossest of indencies - to say the least - to creep out.
Whoops, sorry about that Mrs Iraq. Goodness did I do that? I'm so sorry. Let me pay for some house help to clean it up.
Just go will you, you ignorant shortsighted savage. You come here constipated with bravado and you couldn't hold it in. No just leave it - you're just making it worse. Go and learn some international manners so that you might at least spare some other poor people this misery.
