I feel your pain however I do not...Rant away Tris,<br /><br />I feel your pain however I do not agree 100% in all your points above.<br /><br />I for 1 feel Salmond is a bluffer and a charlatain. I feel like the French once a new leader is installed in the SNP we will get a different ride.<br />Salmond is looking after Salmond alone.<br /><br />However we digress. I am sick of the "this is what happens now under NATO" argument.<br /><br />Its not. The NATO treaty actually states that if a nation does not like the idea it does not have to take part in a particular course of military action.<br /><br />Ratified in 1969....we required a bit of help in 1982 down south and guess what FUCK ALL SQUARED from anyone including the American.<br /><br />This agreement is not that so using the NATO line is false. NATO deployments are inder UN mandates not soverign interventions.<br /><br />This is another step to the UN combined military force.<br /><br />Everyone says why the French and not the Germans for eg.<br /><br />Well a german /french agreement like this already exists.....we are just making it a 3 way.<br /><br />Also USA quite happy..........wonder why......Oh yes. ..... a new arm for its multi billion arm sales industryThe Last Of The Fewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15176601225551322407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9034583091595956788.post-5298605487469420782010-11-02T23:06:33.217+00:002010-11-02T23:06:33.217+00:00Do we not do that with the Americans, and will the...Do we not do that with the Americans, and will the Americans not just be telling this (unusually) pro-American president what to do too.<br /><br />Their interests are almost never ours as most of their military adventures are about supposed threats, or of course, something that gets in the way of American commercial interests, in the last 10 years, Halliburton’s interests in particular!<br /><br />The Afghan conflict was all about Halliburton and the oil pipeline, the contract for which was signed the day after the Americans (with British help) got MR Karzai (an ex-Halliburton employee) installed.<br /><br />Of course our own Scottish soldiers, some would say the best in the world have had to fight this last 300 + years under English command and their interests are never the same as ours.<br /><br />The wheels will fall off this particular wagon when the French replace Sarko with a proper French president, warey in every way of America, and unprepared to follow their bidding. I suppose the average French president thinks (wrongly) that being the French President is being important. They have no need to be kissing as on the White house Lawns. British Prime Ministers probably pretty well know that no one much cares about them, so they like to be seen with El Presidente, even if he’s an intellection minnow like Bush.<br /><br />So, the British prime minister will always do exactly what the President says.<br /><br />The Scottish First minister as has been proven recently, much to the Prime Minister in England’s disgust and anger, is no such walk over. Let’s hope that soon the use of Scottish troops will be decided in Edinburgh, noot London, nor Paris, and absolutely NOT AMERICA.<br /><br />(Sorry for the rant, just something I feel quite strongly about.
