Britons think Afghanistan war is unwinnable!

BRITISH public support for the war in Afghanistan is falling, while more than 40 per cent do not understand why British troops are fighting there, a poll released on Remembrance Sunday showed.

Some 64 per cent agreed that "the war in Afghanistan is unwinnable", up six per cent from July, while 27 per cent disagreed, down four per cent. Ten per cent said they did not know.

Similar numbers said British forces should be withdrawn as quickly as possible, with 63 per cent agreeing and 31 per cent disagreeing.

Some 54 per cent felt they had "a good understanding of the purpose of Britain's mission in Afghanistan", with 42 per cent disagreeing.

"Overall there is the sense that Afghanistan is becoming for (British Prime Minister) Gordon Brown what Iraq became for (his predecessor) Tony Blair," said Andrew Hawkins, chief executive of pollsters ComRes.

"More than four in 10 don't understand Britain's mission; support for the British presence there is ebbing away, and a majority have responded to the presidential election very negatively indeed.

"The results suggest that the impact of the war must be having an impact on Labour support, since it is that party's core supporters who are most strongly opposed to it."

Meanwhile, 52 per cent agreed that "the levels of corruption involved in the recent presidential election show the war in Afghanistan is not worth fighting for." Thirty-six per cent disagreed.

"This is potentially devastating for the government's case for war," Mr Hawkins said.

ComRes surveyed 1009 adults of different ages and social classes across Britain for BBC television's The Politics Show.

This news must surly give terrorists all over the world confidence that they are winning the war by making the Joe Public  cry and morn for their son and daughter soldiers, while they have no regard for their own sons of war against humanity. To them if all the people in the world were drug addicts, all were Islam extremists, all women wore a berka and if they showed skin they were raped and beheaded, and all people were living in poverty, they would still not be happy.

The world has to realize if you morn for your soldier, make sure the life given was worth every drip of their soul. A soldier gives their life so his neighbor's child can live in freedom. A terrorist gives takes life so he can dominate life with ideals against freedom.

The trouble with cleaning out terrorists is that you can never know who is and who isn't when they are all standing naked in a room. Look at what happened in the Fort Hood Army base in America. Incidentally it is reported the suspected shooter, Major Nidal Malik Hasan is still alive.

This is why Afghanistan has to be a free country as does every other nation and its people. Britons need to hold their resolve and walk the longer road. King Richard would not have given up.
