Don't forget the 2 fleas on the toy poodle

lol.. Have we got them all now? There are probably lots more. I used the word word "overstretch" as a euphemism. The Iraq war seen in it's best light. Saddam was a threat once, and was getting out of hand. For whatever reason he somehow survived the first gulf war and was never a threat afterwards.

911 did justify some stern action by the USA (false flag excepting) and the bombing and invasion of Afghanistan was more then justified imo in the light of those events.

However, the majority of the UK population were firmly against the invasion of Iraq by Bush, and a good portion were against the wars in Afghanistan and the first gulf war.
