I saw enough of him during his time in Northern Ireland to realise he was ABSOLUTELY hopeless, a natural born paternalistic appeaser but now senior Conservative MP Michal Ancram has excelled himself by braying in the Daily Mail that British troops should get out of Iraq right now!
It is time now for us to get out of Iraq with dignity and honour while we still can. The UK must not take sides between Sunnis and Shias. It has always been evident that in the event of civil war we should just get out.
What a gutless coward he is. Let me tell you WHY we should remain in Iraq. This awful event happened a few days ago in Baghdad...
Two terrorist groups beheaded two teachers in front of their students in the Amna and Shaheed Hamdi primary schools in Shaab district in Baghdad," a ministry statement said. A ministry official said he believed the attacks were aimed at: "intimidating pupils and disrupting learning."
We should proud to be on the same side as those poor teachers and their students. We should be trying to hunt down and kill the Jihadist scum responsible for such atrocities. (Curiously unreported by the BBC) Our military, along with the Iraqi military, are quite capable of defeating them - despite the best efforts of Iran. So when oleaginous Ancram lines up with the decapitators and urges - Troops Out - all he does is undermine the morale of our soldiers. He is a disgrace to the Conservative Party - but then these days, who isn't?
I always liked Ancram. I think you're being a bit harsh.
