And the reason they failed to secure is because they don't have enough troops.

And shoddy equiptment look at the US'S Reaper recon drone 5-10 million pounds, our recon drones are i think desert hawks only a mere 400k, hell alot of our soldiers don't even have night vision goggles and the right boots!

Now before this war started Tony blair's UK pledged to fight the war, The US said "no it's ok you can help in other ways" but no tony blair sent troops to iraq knowing the consequences, he's now passed this shit onto gordon brown to sort out. Now he can earn half a million pounds which is $1million so he was only in it for himself not for the country.
