They won’t be doing that ever popular short drop and a sudden stop, but
Iraq’s highest court has sentenced former deputy prime insister Tariq Aziz and “Chemical Ali” Hassan al-Majid to 15 years in jail for crimes against humanity.
Rather short sentences, but, there is justice. Considering their ages, they will probably die in jail.
Despite the controversy surrounding the conflict, Major General Andy Salmon said that the servicemen and women who had been killed in Iraq since 2003 did not die in vain.
Gen Salmon declared “mission accomplished” for British forces, adding that now was the right time to return to the UK.
Gen Salmon, a Royal Marine Commando, who first served in Iraq 18 years ago, also said he believed that the insurgency had been defeated.
He added that the Iraqi Army now held the “monopoly of violence” and the power vacuum, which had been exploited by the militias, had now disappeared.
Sorry, liberals/progressives/surrender monkeys, you did not get your wish for surrender in Iraq.
