Thanks for the chuckle Fionn, I couldn't agree more.

I'm the loathed guest (not the DG) with 5 family and friends over there, though only one actually landed in Iraq. Hopefully, he'll be coming home in September now--so long as the brass doesn't betray the troops again and hold them longer. We've had one come home so far with a nasty case of hepatitis. Other three are still scattered around the Gulf.

I'm so glad Beccy refreshed this thread. It's great to see the hypocrisy exposed again after the fact.
