I don't care about that prick, if he's on dialisis for the rest of his life then **** him. We DO need to get out the Middle East, and then we need to stop all aid being sent there as well. Afghanistan is the second poorest country in the world.
What will happen when we leave Iraq and Afghanistan is the moment we're gone, the militia and Taliban will sieze control again. So what's the difference in leaving now or 10 years time, besides saving a ton load of cash and a further 5000 soldiers?
