    Oh dear: Major calls Afgan RAF support 'useless'

    BBC
    The RAF are "utterly, utterly useless" in protecting troops on the ground in Afghanistan, a major with the main UK battle group said in a leaked e-mail.

    The e-mail, which has been sent to British Army head Sir Richard Dannatt, comes a day after another British commander in Afghanistan said the Army was sustaining higher casualties than official figures suggested.
    I was wondering - what is the government's endgame in Afganistan?

    Errm,

    I think it'll go something like this...

    The USA shuffles away from another embarrassing defeat, whistling throught its teeth, and looking downcast at its dusty, sand and blood-covered boots.

    In years to come, Hollywood will fix it all up and make it right again.


    You've come right out the other side of the forest of irony and ended up in the desert of wrong.
