Labour has appointed Becky Francis, an intersectional feminist, to rewrite the national curriculum, which it will then force all schools to teach. Prepare for even more woke claptrap to be shoehorned into the classroom.

Jump To Comment: 5 4 3 2 1Well , Gullible Idiot, I guess time will tell if only 2800 US soldiers have died as Bushs' criminals claim or if the figure is indeed closer to the 30,000 as Al-Rashadeen Army claim. Maybe you are right to trust Bush, I mean he hasn't lied too much so far. Escept for the Weapons of Mass Destruction, Mission Accomplished and Iraq being behind 9/11.

This documentary made by Iraqi Resistance group Al Rashedeen Army shows the true figures
Ur having a laugh, like they would not lie!!
Not only has Bush admitted the situation in Iraq is now like it was in Viet Nam before the US was forced to run away but he continues to lie about the real US army death toll: Just as they did in Viet Nam.
This documentary made by Iraqi Resistance group Al Rashedeen Army shows the true figures and how they will deal with the US army. Part 3 especially deals with the death toll.

Exporting justice and democracy to Iraq
A US Army Maj. General Thomas Turner announced yesterday that U.S. service members will face military trials in three separate cases for the murders of Iraqi civilians, including the gang rape and murder of a teenage girl and the killing of her family in their home in Mahmudiya. The General ordered the court-martial of four soldiers in the Mahmudiya case and said two of the four could face death if found guilty. One of the accused will testify against the others, according to his Washington attorney, David Sheldon.
The General also ordered military trials for four other soldiers accused of murdering three Iraqi detainees during a raid on a suspected insurgent camp near Thar Thar Lake, southwest of Tikrit.
In the third case, three U.S. Marines will be tried on murder charges in the death of an Iraqi grandfather kidnapped from his house in Hamdania in the middle of the night, the U.S. Marine Corps said.
Those cases, particularly the alleged Mahmudiya gang rape, as well as the killing of 24 people in Haditha, have sparked outrage among Iraqis. Mahmudiya led Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki to call for a review of foreign troops' immunity from Iraqi prosecution.
Haditha is still being investigated and no Marines have as yet been charged.
More details
According to U.S. military prosecutors, former private Steven Green shot dead 14-year-old Abeer Qasim Hamza al-Janabi's father, mother and six-year-old sister in Mahmudiya, near Baghdad, in March. Green then raped the teenager and killed her, and tried to burn the bodies and house to conceal evidence of the crime. At least two other soldiers raped or tried to rape the girl before she was murdered, prosecutors say.
Pfc. Jesse Spielman and Sgt. Paul Cortez face the possibility of death if found guilty.
The court-martial will be held at Fort Campbell, Kentucky, the military said. No date has yet been set.
In the Thar Thar case, four soldiers are accused of premeditated murder for the May 9 killing of three detainees. The soldiers -- Staff Sgt. Raymond Girouard, Spc. William Hunsaker, Spc. Juston Graber and Pfc. Corey Clagett -- said the detainees were trying to escape when they were shot, but prosecutors say the detainees were freed before being killed.
A date has not yet been set for that court-martial. It will also be held at Fort Campbell, Kentucky.
Separately, three Marines -- Lance Cpl. Tyler Jackson, Lance Cpl. Robert Pennington and Cpl. Trent Thomas -- will face trials on charges of murder and kidnapping stemming from the April 2006 death of Hashim Ibrahim Awad in Hamdania.
Seven Marines and a Navy medic are accused of dragging the man from his home, shooting him dead and placing a rifle and shovel next to his body to create the impression that he was an insurgent planting a roadside bomb.
Interesting story. Hard to believe yet so many unbelievable things took place over the last couple of months. Worth following.
