Prince Harry going to the dance

[epo]

In a somewhat surprising move, the British Army has decided to send the third to throne of England to Iraq. Link to story here (http://www.thestar.com/Unassigned/article/208894).

So what is up with this move? I thought the Brits were leaving Iraq and now this move. Does anybody else think this kid is bait for the Brits to escalate?

No, Fat Thinks It Is An Appropriate Way For The British Ruling Class To Show That Not Only Poor Men Go To War. It Would Be Nice To See A Similar Move In The US, But Bush And Cheney Only Have Daughters. (Well, Bush's Kids Are Girls, At Least).

Or rather than escalate, perhaps he's bait for the opposite. Maybe it'll be an excuse to depart the coalition of the "willing."

Oh. I thought you meant he heard about the TIVO giveaway, and would be at Bar9 on May 5th.

He fought hard for this. He's said for months that he would demand that he be sent. The only thing holding the Brits back was trying to figure out a way to keep from being a specific target. As long as his presence doesn't make it more dangerous for his fellow soldiers, I say "good for him".

Bush's daughters could go to war, there are many females in Iraq. This would never happen just like when GW was a kid he didnt go ot Vietnam.

F_S Does Not Think That Women Should Be In Combat Situations. Equality Gone Haywire. War Is For Men.

What F_S thinks mean shit to reality. As it is right now women are in Iraq fighting for this country. Since that is the case your boy Bush doesnt seem to think the war is lost and that we need to stay the course. I dont agree with that but if he does he should really prove it by sending his daughters over there. Like I said it will never happen.

That must have been a Royal pain.
