From handing over the Chagos Islands to compensating Gerry Adams, Starmer's decisions owe more to human rights lawyers than sound politics. He needs to sack his chum Lord Hermer before he shipwrecks his Government.

Net Zero vs AI: Starmer Hasn?t Worked Out That The U.K. Can?t Be a ?Superpower? in Both Climate and ... Thu Jan 16, 2025 07:00 | Ben Pile
Keir Starmer wants Britain to be both an "AI superpower" and a "clean energy superpower". He can't have it both ways, says Ben Pile. AI is hugely energy intensive and inconsistent with the path Net Zero is leading us down.

Lt. Cmdr. Scott Zellem, a native of Indiana, Pa., who died Aug. 10 while on a training flight in southeast Japan [.....]
--
He did not die in the Iraq, as you say - the article I linked to didn't say where he died and only mentioned that he was in Iraq - putting the two together I made a bad assumption.
For me, the story I see is that the man who was used as a prop is now dead - a prop to make us forget the illegality of this war, the immorality of this war and also the fact that the man he was flying with pulled all sorts of strings to stay out of a war.
I suppose that Bush hypocrisy is nothing new these days, but let me ask you something: Did President Bush go to his funeral?
Your misleading how LCDR Zellem died.
LCDR Zellem and three others, flying a Navy S-3B Viking jet from the aircraft carrier John C. Stennis, died when their aircraft slammed into Kita Iwo Jima, a volcanic island about 620 miles southeast of Japan, not in combat. It was supposed to be a routine training flight during a naval exercise over the placid waters of the Pacific, with few of the dangers all four knew 17 months earlier during combat missions over Iraq. I am sure this will get deleted, because its the truth.

Yeah, and by the look of your post, you're a real sweetheart too.
"I'll never buy or see another bottle of ketchup without thinking of him."
Lt. Commander Scott Zellem attacked a country without even an airforce or a navy, killed enough people to merit a medal, then he got close enough to Bush and didn't kill him, and now someone has killed Scotty.... And?
piggy backing/bush basing for this small story President Bush's chief strategist causes confusion Karl Rove spoke saying that the American's would never negotiate with Al -Qaeda just like Britain never negotiated with the IRA???
