JFKvsNixon Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Well apart from responding to emergency humanitarian crisis, I'd rather assumed it was spent on infrasrtructure projects like roads, hospitals, and schools,but considering the uproar in the past when some crackpot african dictator gets hold of it and spends it on weapons, I didn't think it was spent knowingly on weapons. Call me naive, but I really don't want my taxmoney going towards that. How do you think that we've managed to grow such a big defence industry with BAE Systems becoming the world's third largest defence contractor based upon 2011 revenues? People want us to have a manufacturing industry, and this is one where we are world leaders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SevenRivers Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 If every man and woman in Mali had a decent gun, could the Islamists have ever took over against the will of the majority? Give them all guns, and let their people take care of wiping out the religious fundies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
extaxman Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Couldn't agree more than with Taxman. We collect the money, he spends it on arms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna B Posted February 22, 2013 Author Share Posted February 22, 2013 So is that how Tony 'Peace envoy to the middle east' Blair is making his millions? It's notable that since he took that job uprisings and wars have been blowing up all over the region... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjw47 Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 I often wonder what the Islamic world made of that appointment. If that's not taking the pee i don't know what is. Western leader admits he has no interest in history, backs up his mate W in starting war in middle east which is illegal by any normal assessment, makes millions out of spinoffs, shows absolutely no regrets & then gets made 'Peace Envoy'. Then we wonder why they don't seem particularly keen on us.It's a mystery allright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, you've seen what he did here during his tenure... ...what makes you think he should do any better or worse there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
