Kenneth Branagh recreates Col. Tim Collins’ speech to 1 Batt., Royal Irish Regiment, on 19 March 2003, immediately prior to the invasion of Iraq. From the BBC production 10 Days to War.
Honest words from a good man in a bad conflict. Tim Collins is no longer serving in the army and has stated many concerns about our agenda in Iraq/Afghanistan.
This Col made lots of money as his elements spilled lots of bloode. I was in Iraq for twelve long months. Money, oil and political power ruled this war. Bring our soldiers home. Bloode flows faster than oil
@VillariHistory that’s not the truth. if you search you’ll find out that the issue is disputed and it is also claimed that what you are suggesting distorts the truth. if you’re a fundamentalist crusader, naturally, i don’t expect you to take a glance on the claims of other side. if you’re so low to chose believing propaganda of certain sources, you may close your eyes to other side of the issue, although both side assert their arguments obviously.
i’d like my enemy exactly as this one… my ancestors fought against british in gallipoli. and that war has always been depicted as a war between honourable opponents. now, look at US army… israelies… other mobs so-called soldiers… they just kill because of fear… they have no idea why they were fighting for.
@VillariHistory And maybe you should also read the bible once i believe you can find a “Bible for dummies” somewhere and see all the fiction and brutality in it.
to make it simple for you my argument was never one of religion but rather of moral.
you have to read a bit into history (and by that i don’t mean the censured books they give you in uni ) but real news from all over and you will understand why there is such hate between the east and the west world. here is one hint 3 July 1988 Iran
@VillariHistory OK m8 you stupefied your self just when yuo assumed that im a muslim. Im not nor am a Christian or believer of any man made religions. I like many other intellectuals am aware of the fact that these religions where tailored to make man follow a certain rule back in the dark ages of looting and plundering. And also you show your lack of brains by the argument you make. maybe you should have a look back at the Crusades and see what they were all about.
We need more men like this in the armed forces.
@2dogarage You are wrong…billions were killed in Iraq and children were eaten.
@MilIntOps LOL
@cultofmao “For the sake of oil”, Eh. So how many barrels of oil has Iraq given to America for saving them from a tyrant? It’s difficult to live in a world with such ignorant fools like you.
@Zeuzz Why don’t you tell us all about the Assyrian Massacres where your and your good, peace-loving. “Young Turk” muzzies killed over 1 million people for the crime of being Christian. You’re a liar and your “religion of moon worship” of a god of hatred tells you to kill all not like you. A little Old Testament your way just might show you who the righteous are in this world as a “good Muslim” cannot be a good citizen of any nation except a Mooslem one. Now go gargle with razor blades
When right is on your side then inspirational speeches will inspire, but when your forced to fight for a lie and become invaders and occupiers for the sake of Oil and sent their by corrupt politicians, then all those words will be hollow.
@Crizzle789 the inspiration of this is that you dont need to do anything.you can sit there and be nothing and not try to make anything of your self,but if you do decide to do something,never give up,give it your all,it wont be easy,it will be had and you may not maki it,but you tryed,”if you are farocious in battle,remeber to be magnonomous in victoury.”
Allahu akbar.
This isn’t inspiring at all…
there is also a reason why the eastern ppl hate the western ppl so much and it has nothing to do with religion . it has do with the way you been treating the third-world nations for the last decades. Im not even gonna bother to explain .
@VillariHistory
dude by the looks of things you are just retarded and the fact that ppl even argue with you shows how retarded they are as well. so i guess you find a nice habitat for you .
i feel sorry for you. you honestly dont know shit about Muslims except what you Google. Muslims never cared about the western ppl until you started invading our
nations for Oil. So plz instead of telling ppl to learn history why dont you read a bit about american Oil company history.
Doug Beattie?
@gypsyearthspirit You may defend the strawman arguments you post as I will not. I did not compare Iraq to Germany. The discussion was about when one may invade a sovereign nation. You should watch “Bush’s War” on Frontline online. You might learn something. So sorry you didn’t understand.
@pamew Enjoy your burka, pam. You are a dead any dying nation.
is this a film?
@VillariHistory
My mistake. I misread your post. It wasn’t you who said that Christianity and Islam developed side by side. Pardon.
The remark about the comparison between Iraq and Germany stands.
@ VillariHistory
For someone who claims to know history you are painfully uninformed. There is no comparison between Iraq and Germany. That is incorrect to the point of silliness. Iraq did NOTHING to us to warrant an invasion. That is a fact.
It is also fact btw that Islam dates back to the 7th century, long after Christianity was established. So much for your “knowledge”.
@VillariHistory “to (sic) ignorant.”
Hah!
Anyway…
unlike you, I actually live in the country we’re talking about, and have spent time in london. Unfortunately you are an “American patriot” and are therefore unable to understand just how out of touch with the world you are. Also, any idea how many people actually LIVE in london? 750,000 out of the london areas population is no where NEAR as many as it sounds. stop being a hysteria monger.
@2dogarage “Millions Murdered”….they had 25 million in population. Have you a source for “millions murdered”? And how about your picture. I believe you are as ugly as you are stupid.
