British Forces Flee Basra
September 2, 2007 at 7:24 pm | Posted in Basra, Britain, Iraq | 7 CommentsBritish forces are at present withdrawing from Saddam’s place, or more accruately, they are fleeing Basra; a city that they could no longer hold.
The troops stationed in the airport are, to use the military parlance, marking time. There can no longer be any military justification for their continued presence, since they are doing little more than defending themselves.
First Casualty of War
August 19, 2007 at 6:44 pm | Posted in Basra, Britain, Media, Propaganda, Shia | Leave a commentThe British and U.S. media are reporting that Britain has lost the war in Basra and is no more than an observer in the battle for control of Basra, having been disengaged for some time. The Independent on Sunday adds that British generals are now calling for British forces to be extradited from the South without delay.
However, what is being reported here is not new; it is that which was already known. Indeed, I reported the British surrender back in February 2007, which followed the provocative British assault on the Jamiat Police Station in December 2006, this was a pivotal event, yet was not treated as such in the Western media.
It is no exaggeration to say that the British media has hitherto been complicit in the wilfully misleading of the British public about the true extent of the British military demise in Iraq.
“In war, truth is the first casualty.” (Aeschylus, 525 BC – 456 BC)
