More 'traitors' on the receiving end
With British troops out of the way, Shia militias in Basra are turning on those who helped them. The story is here. If you're in the UK, one man who's trying to help them is here.
Trackbacked by The Thunder Run - The Purge Begins: Basra Many predicted that as the British retreated from Basra that the area would slip further into chaos. Now we find out that, that is exactly what is happening as Iraqi interpreters working for the British Army have been advised to leave Basra or be killed.
We've been following this on Rantburg: it's disgusting, more so because it puts to lie all the nonsense the Brits have been spouting all along about how their way was so 'superior' to ours.
I linked the story at Rantburg with a tip o' the hat to you, Mike. Thanks,
