I don't agree with everything he contributes but sometimes he makes interesting contributions.

never said he could or shouldn't post here nor have i criticised anything he has said whether i agree with it or not, I'm a bit confused by your posting

Winston was and interesting character and good war time leader but he is far from the myth that surrounds his life.
edit:-P.s i was personally disgusted by the bbc's coverage of the war, i must say thought they weren't the only bias channel there

Late on the post Jerrek but I'm with you too about the BBC

You should be bloody shot NOW. What happened then cannot be compared to today's morals. Why because the Germans didn't have any. Your a bloody traitor. I've put boards down to a chat and never took it to heart but you disgust me.

Do your research. It was the Germans that started WMD

Oh I know he wasn't an angel, but he did win World War II and he did take a stand and said NO MORE--something I can appreciate. He was, though, a great leader.

he was a warmonger by many accounts
and the Hitler conflict could have been avoided


you look at a film like "dambusters"

people glow with pride at that mission success but over 3000 innocent civilian died in the carnage and flooding that ensued


also - the black dog was called nigger in that film - so there

agreed he never compromised his ideals and could beat people into submission with words like no other ever has.

I don't think an ex Royal Marine should be described as a "traitor" - in fact no-one should on this forum - please don't say that again - it is a serious allegation?

So lets talk about the first country that started bombing civilians too as you seem to be forgetting what people went through

they are objective they give both sides a fair view for example the war was covered fairly they showed anti-war protesters and people who thought the war should go ahead most news companys only reported the anti-war viewpoint

Really?
We must have been watching different stations then!

From what I saw the BBC concentrated on the impact on iraqis and slating the americans (one news presenter even went as far to suggest that as the captured engineers were giving out their home towns they were also likely to be giving out secret information like radio frequencies!)
And remember the questiontime episode where the BBC filled the audience with anti-americans?
The other news programs I watched (mainly ITV) showed the effects on the iraqis, but mainly reports from embedded journalists, giving an idea as to what it was like with the troups.
