Airstrip One

A real threat

While busy bleating about the drastic threat posed by Saddam Hussein's WMD (is that "weapons of mass destruction" or "without means of delivery"?) perhaps our ruling class could concentrate less on getting on the trans-Atlantic top table and more on it's own citizens safety.

This makes the unsurprising revalation that at least two of the terror gang, and their premises, were subsidised by the public purse all the more important. While this is not in itself an argument against the war, it is galling to see plenty of far away adventures linked to stopping terrorism while action at home to staunch the main supply of terrorists - young Muslim men from abroad - is ruled beyond debate.
