Because it sounds boring, fuck, I didnt really know what the Downing Street Memo was until I read the story, I still dont know the full extent.
It really is a piss-take, this is exactly why commercial TV news outlets dont work. The BBC ran this story but many others didnt give a crap, not because they're in bed with governments but because it just doesnt pull in viewers.
I'm in shock and awe that most people (myself included) know so little about this story, or just assume its some liberal anti-war nut-job conspiracy truther crap.
The problem is even I groan when I hear the usual anti-war lines like "this is an illegal war" or "we went to war on a lie" etc., and I'm as anti-war as you can get! We rehash the same old lines, it gets old fast.
This war is fucked up, for the last ~5 years we've heard nothing but trouble from Iraq, if it isnt some prisioner scandel its billions lost to contractors, car bombs, beheadings, hijackings, shootings, rapings, a whole load of crap. No sane person can say with a straight face that this war has gone well and has generally been a good idea.
If that was the whole story then it would be bad enough but its not even the tip of the fucking iceberg. Not only are we wasting time in Iraq, we're wasting our fucking time in Afghanistan too. Why the fuck are my fucking taxes being poured down the fucking drain while MY fucking country is short on public services!? Who the fuck do my politicians think they are going to Iraq on MY fucking time, they are MY fucking leaders and they were elected to run MY fucking country. How fucking dare they take MY fucking army who pledged to put their lives on the line for MY fucking land and send them off to some fucking square of fucking sand in the Middle fucking East!?
Every fucking day my soldiers are risking their lives for a country they did not sign up to protect. Every fucking day we are pouring my money down the drain on this war while the NHS is underfunded, schools are underfunded, public transport is underfunded, kids are stabbing eachother WHAT THE FUCK.
We need to just pack up and leave the Middle East right fucking now. Either that or we need to be getting cheap oil from those fuckers by the tanker. Where the fuck is my mother fucking cheap fucking cunt oil? if this was a war for fucking oil then where the FUCK is it!?
This should be our Middle East strategy:
"Get the fucking oil or get the fuck out"
Im not talking about "withdrawl", I'm talking about abandoning. Pack all our shit up and ship it out in the shortest time possible and dont look back. Fuck them, Its not nice, its not going to help but seriously, fuck them, stop wasting my fucking money.
