Dead Soldier's Father: I Feel Deceived

http://www.news.scotsman.com/latest.cfm?id=2185704

A father of a British soldier killed in Iraq today said he felt deceived by US President George Bush’s decision to go to war when Saddam Hussein posed no immediate threat.

Mr Bush will be met with an unprecedented policing operation when he arrives in London tomorrow ahead of the first state visit by a US president.

The widespread opposition to his visit and political decisions will be clearly visible to Mr Bush, with protests planned across the three days of his visit – something the president has brushed off.

But today he acknowledged the huge price families of servicemen killed in Iraq have paid.

1. Perhaps, the Queen should take Junior to the Tower.

Her Majesty can personally explain dramatically what justice has been meted out to evil 'sovereigns' and 'ner-do-wells' over the centuries. Ironically, some of the guilty sentenced and imprisoned at this site are ancestors of his own family.
