The fleet they sent to the Falklands was not up to the task.
I am actually.
Don't patronise me just because you spent 25 years of your life bobbing around at sea.
Were you a Captain? And Admiral maybe? Where you even an Officer?
I doubt it. My bet is Chief Petty Officer at best, maybe in Marine Engineering, unless you had some noggins upstairs, in which case you'd be doing Weapons or Comms.
I have access to over 2 man-centuries worth of military experience from members of my own family. From a serving RAF Wing Commander, to various Army sergeants, to some Navy personnel, all willing and able to give me whatever info I please. I am more likely to believe them than an old sailor

Why am I "wrong" about Iraq. You claim this on multiple threads without specifically saying what it is we are wrong about.

You began lecturing me not only about the war I fought and you didn't, but also about everything else. So stop now bitching that I treat you as you deserve to be treated. And lecturing someone who has fought GW1 about that war is arrogant.

I did say. For example, you blamed us for delivering Saddam the poison gas he killed those 5000 Kurds with. Before I told you about that you claimed that he didn't have any WMDs whatsoever.

But if you nevertheless think Blair made a mistake, OK - you are allowed to think he committed a mistake. So don't vote for him (which I guess you don't).
