Submit to "The Independent Panel" - Resistance Is Futile

If there's a more tantalizing waste of time, effort and passion than this imbroglio I don't know what it would be.

Read the Terms of Reference you're expected to take into consideration. These are the tacit conditions under which they're willing to consider your submission. Any whiff of rejection of any of these conditions and off your suggestion will go to the round file.

Which effectively handcuffs anyone who believes that NATO was deceived into undertaking the mission based on lies told by Bush, Cheney, Rice and Rumsfeld. That apparently doesn't make any difference to this Charade of Fools.

In for a counterfeit penny is as good as in for a legitimate pound.

But either way the forces of NATO will ultimately be shown to be just as impotent in the sands of Afghanistan as every other invading or occupying army throughout recorded history.

The revelation of their impotence may well be the undoing of the alliance.

So, as you have no doubt surmised, I will be neither submitting nor capitulating to the "Independent Panel".
