Apparently a senior iraqi general has bee told that he will be granted amnesty in? You guessed it correctly, Britain!
On condition that he dishes the goods on sadass and friends.
He will be given all the benefits expected i am sure, of a sponging murderer, and given complete anonymity by our "secret police".
Needless to say, the taxpayer once again foots the bill.
The "deal" should be this: Tell us what we want to know, or die.
Its that simple.
My faith is at an alltime low on hearing this news, it just shows, theyll have almost anyone over here, no matter how many theyve murdered.
I feel ashamed and angry, this is not what should be happening to his ilk, he should not be rewarded.
My government is a disgrace.

WTF? I really am getting so sick of this. My mission in life is to make as much money as humanly possible over the next few years and then get the hell out of this country before I kill someone!

Speaking of killing, wouldn't it be nice if just after telling us all he knows, this twat takes a few rounds in the face?

Ha ha, I'm just a normal guy who's starting to get really pissed off with the way everything is turning out. Only a few years ago I thought everything in the world was fine, problems were far away and bad situations would never reach me. Then I started watching the news...

Really? I'd prefer to make enough money so that (i) I can get someone else to do the massacring and (ii) I can buy off any interested parties and not have to leave the country..

Its called military intelligence and its the way wars are won, its been going on since war began and will until 'civilisation' comes to an end. How did the Russians and Americans get into the space race, by giving Nazi scientists amnesties.

I really can't see what you are all getting excited about.

How do you know who was behind you in the chippy last week Dick? You could easily have been battered.

Has it been established that said General is a mass murderer or are we using the same system that the US employ to link all arab countries with 9/11 and assuming that sort of guilt? If the guy has that sort of history then clearly morally we shouldn't deal with him. Do you think we would have made a deal with Chemical Ali?

This lot will deal with Anyone! Its a national disgrace rewarding him for allieing himself with saddam and keeping him in power, at the cost of the taxpayer and all those lives taken.

Its not right, and it offends me, but having said that, who gives a shit whether or not any of US are offended?
Safe to say if this was muslim country he'd be welcomed with open arms and then slotted. Dam good riddance too.

That's (with more accuracy) what I've been trying to say.

Good use of 'Dick' there Gnomesmith. Should have thought about that one when registering my name.

It was meant as a term of endearment and not as any immuendo, if it was taken as such mulcho apologies. I'll use Richard in future!

Just to clarify my postings, I'm not saying that I agree with such deals merely that they are routine and thats why I can't get worked up about it.

It is important to remember just how many Generals there are, sorry were, in the Iraqi army. The rank was given to very many 'friends' of Saddam as a birthday present or other gesture, unlike our Army it doesn't mean you are fully in charge of anything other than perhaps bog roll distribution. Most Iraqi Generals are sad puffed up little Burocrats who in the UK might be Scout Masters but would achieve little else, they are manifestly not all mass murderers.

I'm only playing around

Just fed up with this govt. seemingly inviting all kinds of who-knows-what onto our shores, giving them benefits beyond belief and yet still having problems dealing with basic issues UK citizens have had for years, such as high taxes, poor road laws, etc.

You are right, we don't know the background of this story or person, but most of us still don't even like the idea of it.

That is a sound plan CarZ, seems to work most other 'democratic' countries around the world too so you could even live in the US .... if you wanted to ...

Well that would be interesting if Blair and Bush got hauled up in front of the Hauge for starting an illegal war and this guy gets to live the high life. How I would laugh
