Basrah the British Fail

The title of this entry pretty much explains it all. There has been some serious problems down here and it continues to get worse for the guys on the ground. The report I read recently about the border security in this sector would surprise the average joe citizen out there. Iran has taken over the militia in the Al' Basra region and is funneling in Weapons thru the Ports of Entries(POE). There is a port on the Iraqi border that is staffed by a Colonal that lived in Iran for 15 years during the Iraq/Iran war! Where do you think his allegiance belongs? With the continued political pressures at home on the british soldier they do not fire back when fired upon. They have released individuals that were armed and broke thru a perimeter fence. So it is a mess and they are tired and ready to leave. The average soldier here would like to kick ass but it just won't happen and that is a shame.
