Subject: BS: Video of British Soldiers in Iraq
Well what do you make of the video shown on the world news tonight of British soldiers kicking the lining out of youths in Iraq ? No stage work on this one. In with the boot. The soldier videoing this for beers in the mess hall later,laughs. Really don't know why there is so much talk about it, saw them and felt it often enough myself during their invasion of the North of Ireland. So is this the peace keeping force the Iraqi people need ? Come on the usual suspects here on mud, defend it, and tell us how it is justifed ?????????

Blair promises Iraq 'abuse' probe

The footage came from a "whistleblower" ex, British soldier.
Tony Blair has said claims of abuse by soldiers "will be investigated" after images that appeared to show UK troops beating Iraqi youths were published.
