Thread Name: BS: Homs horror (Syria, 2012)
Subject: RE: BS: Homs horror
"I keep telling you I have no knowledge of sniper bullets being supplied,"
Then why did you claim that is what Britain sold to Assad - one more time?
"That would be for the sniper rifles Jim."
Why did your thuggish friend accept your opinion that they were sniper bullets?
"Guess what "Jim Lad" - Snipers have to practice - they do rather a lot of it."
Why did you and your fick friend attempt to play down the size of the shipment as only "£30,000 worth"?
Why have you both claimed that the order for ammunition was licenced but never dispatched - without proof of course?
And why have you continued to claim despite you having acknowledged it and the documented evidence, that the order does not exist?
I would be extremely careful not to contradict Billy the Kid - he has a weapon and he's not afraid to use it
"Not when it comes to the Steyr-Mannlicher SSG69 Christmas I own one"

So you appear to be left with only one alternative on this thread - that is to urge the British Government to take up your proposal to provide Assad with only "riot control equipment" in the hope that they will not sell them heavy weaponry (oh, and in the hope that they will not arrest, imprison and torture those demonstrators immobilised by that equipment)
So you see - I don't need your support for he sniper bullets - you've already given it.
Even if you hadn't, and even if they were not sniper bullets- it doesn't really matter - the British Government should never have issued a licence to sell either arms or equipment to a regime such as Syria
So what exactly have I made up - the shipment exists and is documented - Britain supplied similar regimes with weapons and equipment (also documented) - Britain continues to sell weapons to countries with similar track records (that nice Mr Cable said so - and he doesn't tell lies, does he).
So what is there for to have made up - it's all there
Have a nice evening
