Keith - There is no such thing as "hard video evidence" in the digital age and all of the so-called eye-witness accounts are heresay.

If you truly believe what you have said, "...an iraqi general who may feel more loyalty to his Shia brothers in Iran than to Britain," don't you think its time for Britain to go home? The British and Iraqi are supposed to be working together are they not?

Regardless of the truth of the situation, your disdain for Iraqis and Iranians is obvious. Its your misguided belief in British superiority that underlies your arrogance and prevents you from understanding anything about the problems of the Middle East.

You give Brits a bad name.
