The ticking clock scenario
Why 15 years? Why not try and bring a project in under budget and ahead of schedule for a change?
I’ve marked July 8 2022 in my diary as ‘VT Day’ and the champagne is on ice. But who do we blame if it takes 16? The street party invites have already gone out.

15,20,50 years - who cares? These are just numbers grabbed out of thin air to make the speaker sound grave and stern. Fact is that as long as the occupation of Iraq continues, we will always be at risk of bombings; if the troops are withdrawn and we switch foreign policy to opposing continued occupation, then the chances of another bombing shrink to pretty unlikely. My sense of reason and my understanding of human motivations tells me this - why can`t our government see it?
Or does it really come down to this; “Well, we`re going to have troops stationed in Iraq for the next 15-20 years so you, the British public, are just going to have get used to being blown to pieces. It`s a price worth paying, we feel.”
Bringing the military in to direct ‘national security’, eh? Oh dear, very South American.
If “terrorism” is simply “being attacked by people who don’t like you”, how naive do you have to be to imagine that this could ever stop? let alone in 15 years.
I despair really.
the war on teworr is as fake as 911.However terror is good for business and good for those in the defense and security business.
ony fifteen years?
To get rid of all them muslims?
Never.
At least they didn’t 1,000 eh?
Posting too quickly. I meant of course ’say 1,000′. Eejit.
