Guest Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Yes they should come here- their country was bombed with Bin Laden being made responsible for 9/11 ( no proof given)- the invaders failed, he was not captured but the invaders stayed on anyway. I am sure that with the Afghans sitting on some of the world’s greatest reserves of mineral wealth had noting to do with it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angos Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Oh dear, not me you div. You said many will be killed, they can't be identified but obviously we can't bring the population back here in order to stop those deaths. Interpreters can be identified, as well as their families. That's why the petition exists..a petition initiated by men on the ground, men who have a hell of a lot more insight than you, sevenrivers or any of your other twitchers on this and other threads. So why do you feel the need to save the interpreters but not everyone else. The more good people there are in Afghanistan the greater their chance of defeating the Taliban, everyone that runs away is one less to continue the struggle. Also what makes you think they will be safe here, there are plenty of Taliban sympathizers in the UK that will be ready to kill them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SevenRivers Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 What do suggest? now they have risked their lives to help us, just leave them there to get killed? They didn't risk their lives helping us, they risked their lives helping themselves and THEIR country. I'm sure they pay wasn't bad either.

The very small numbers in comparison can be identified. It's obvious you didn't read my previous reply because I've just repeated myself. ---------- Post added 14-08-2013 at 18:08 ---------- They didn't risk their lives helping us, they risked their lives helping themselves and THEIR country.

Everyone that isn't Taliban is at risk from the Taliban, so by your reckoning we should allow them all to come here as opposed to them staying were they are. The Afghan soldiers, police, politicians and there families are at risk and we know who they are, so should they also come here or stay and make Afghanistan a safe place for their children and their children's children. If Afghans run away from this conflict the Taliban will be back and many more Afghans will be at risk, especially the women and children. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SevenRivers Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 So experienced troops on the ground are liars? They may have helped our troops, who are there to help them, so ultimately helping our troops is for the betterment of their own nation. And I'm sure they were paid well for their efforts.

Rupert_Baehr Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 ...Can you pinpoint who they are?...names even? Could Manly Bradding pinpoint who they are? (He's a hero according to some on this forum. - People who would, no doubt, be more than willing to have him live in the UK). Did he pinpoint who they are?

JFKvsNixon Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 If we leave these interpreters to their own devices it will send out a terrible message to the rest of the world. If you help the British out, when the going gets tough they'll dump you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
