No Moral Superiority in Afghan War

As the papers today reveal a catalogue of over 90,000 previously unrecorded or played down military actions in Afghanistan which were revealed on Wikileaks  yesterday by person or persons unknown. I viewed some of the material for myself, and discovered what amounts to an 8 year killing spree by certain coalition forces where the deaths of innocents are simply ignored or bleached out or glossed over as battles with insurgents.

Propaganda

The leaks have caused a major embarrassment for both the U.S. and UK Govt's but also relate to French forces having fired on a school bus I presume because they were scared it contained Taliban forces. Many accounts are given of open fire situations where the enemy turned out to be nothing but a bunch of kids or Afghan civilians, and in one incident a group of Afghan police were shot and killed in what they term 'friendly fire', which apparently came from only one side.

It reveals Taliban forces with surface to air missiles and an array of strikes maiming innocent civilians which any reasonable person would be lost for words to explain, except to say that they show a disgusting hypocrisy on our part in an aggressive invasion of a sovereign country where we have no right to be.

One of the reports describes the harrowing picture of the killing of a teenage girl, and of soldiers finding one child still alive with rubble in her mouth after they shelled the area and then describes her passing away along with the other children who we can only imagine were blown to smithereens.

Politics not People

The U.S. Government are up in arms because of the leaks and what they call putting lives at risk by disclosing the incidents, and the UK Government says it hasn't had time enough to look at it to give an appropriate response.

They talk politics whilst totally ignoring the deaths of innocent civilians or the fact these previously classified episodes went unreported.

I imagine how those children died and I imagine what the passengers on the school bus must have felt when bullets streamed through the windows. Sheer terror and heartbreaking reality and without a doubt the feelings of a deep hatred must have been born for the perpetrators.

So why do we still have operations in Afghanistan, and what are we doing there in the first place. What were the names of the dead children and other civilians who have been killed by the righteous acts of the coalition forces, and are they ever going to be subject to a public inquiry, will there ever be charges brought at the Hague against the politicians responsible, or will people just continue to sit in their ignorance whilst their military and political rulers foist carnage on the rest of the world which mostly cannot defend itself from such overwhelming force.

Opposition

Will you continue to support the bullies or will you now begin to see that the only political force in the United Kingdom which will put a stop to this insanity is the British National Party, where in this place we call our home, we can begin to make a stand against bullies by offering them our support.

The British National Party has long campaigned against war yet the establishment and the media has continued to vilify the party as neo-Nazis.

The tools of state propaganda backed up with activists to do bodily damage to those of us who make protest against their despicable acts of murder, are waged here as well as there, yet only by asking for the truth from politicians can we ever hope to find it.

David Cameron and Nick Clegg are both party to these reports and are also aware of the operations which up to now have been held under-cover. Blair is certainly guilty of having full knowledge along with responsibility for the results of this campaign of death he and Bush invoked against not one but three foreign states.

No Action taken just more spin

The latest revelation also revealed by a former British diplomat, that the UK Foreign Office and therefore our government, were not revealing the full picture, nor were they releasing full documents to the Chilcot Inquiry, is yet another indictment of our government's dishonesty in these affairs. Yet again, Cameron and Clegg are aware of this as they are also aware of the limited nature of the Chilcot Inquiry, which was established by Gordon Brown but given no teeth to prosecute.

What is the damn point of making public, any matter at all unless good men are allowed to act on it. To charge those responsible, and to bring an end to the deceit, and by so doing, establish truth and honesty back into politics from politicians who should be fighting for us rather than seeking to cover up their mistakes at the cost of innocent lives in Afghanistan.

Charges

Who will speak for truth before we all fall into the pit of hell from where our politicians were spawned, and who will say that the actions disclosed by Wikileaks, are really any different to the actions reported of the Iraq dictator Saddam Hussein, or of the Taliban itself, or of the accusations which western war leaders made against the former Serbian leader Slobodan Milošević.

How are we as a people able to send our own troops to kill innocent people and still hope to maintain moral superiority over others.
