Really, I thought the other day in the leader debates he said he was sure there were situations where British forces could be deployed overseas but he just couldn't envisage them there and then. Sounded like a perfectly reasonable answer to me but predictably he was slaughtered for not wanting to be a war monger

For such a "cute and fluffy" kind of guy he sure killed a lot of people and was intent on killing even more. Bit like the IRA, ISIS, Al-Qaeda etc, all "supported" by Corbyn. |
Its been done to death, he wasn't a threat to his own people or his neighbours, he wasn't stockpiling wmds, he wasn't involved with Islamic terrorists etc etc the rationales used for war were all false end of, if we wanted saddam out we should've done it when he was a menace.
