Following the death of the 100th British soldier in Iraq, this week, Minister of Defence John Reid announced that 20,000 British troops are being deployed
to Afghanistan immediately!
It seems that nearly 5 years after the "liberation" of Afghanistan that more troops are required to be inattendance there.
Dr Reid stated that this deployment of troops was "a temporary measure" and nothing whatsoever got to do "with the growing state of unrest in Southern Afghanistan".
For the record, that number of troops surpasses the number of British troops in Northern Ireland at the height of the Troubles.
Must be a bad siti'ation - as a Scot (Dr Reid) would say !
