Amnesia is a deficit in memory caused by brain damage or disease,[1] but it can also be caused temporarily by the use of various sedatives and hypnotic drugs. The memory can be either wholly or partially lost due to the extent of damage that was caused.[2] There are two main types of amnesia: retrograde amnesia and anterograde amnesia. Retrograde amnesia is the inability to retrieve information that was acquired before a particular date, usually the date of an accident or operation.[3] In some cases the memory loss can extend back decades, while in others the person may lose only a few months of memory. Anterograde amnesia is the inability to transfer new information from the short-term store into the long-term store. People with anterograde amnesia cannot remember things for long periods of time. These two types are not mutually exclusive; both can occur simultaneously.[4]
Trying to clean up the mess that Blair and Bush created. That’s the very least we can do after creating the instability in the region that led to the rise of ISIS.
British Army is a global force. They'll send one -division- platoon to Falklands, one -division- platoon to Gibraltar. One -division- platoon to Suez. One -division- platoon to the Horn. One -division- platoon to Chagos. One -division- platoon to Singapore and one more -division- platoon to Formosa. And thus British Army will control the entire sea trade. Globul Army. Best Army.

Even if these troops are company sized units, it at least gives UK bragging rights of being a "global power", right? Same with the nonsense I keep hearing about how Royal Navy is the "only true blue water navy in the world other than USA". UK is over. It should just give up its seat in the UNSC P5.
You have no idea man, Northern Iraq is the home of the Kurdish people, they are very western and advanced people, I tell you in 20 years from now Northern Iraq will look like Dubai or Emirates or Israel and will be very advanced culture and part of the world they just need a little bit security right now while they are developing but soon enough will be able to defend themselves. This is a noble mission and they will return the favor for generations to come as they become a very developed part of the middle east. It was just bad luck they ended up in such a nasty hostile area they were butchered by Saddam Hussain even 5000 were murdered by Saddam using Chemical weapons in the Halabja massacre. The least we can do is give them a little bit of safety from the crazies in ISIS but soon enough they will be able to take care of themselves.
@@kabzaify Well that is up to them. Israel, South Korea, Japan all developed in to western way of life from their own decision to do so. Even China is very western, economy, clothing, way of life, work, it's so very western but they chose to do so.

They will do things you have no idea in 20 years alone it will look like a totally western culture in the middle of Iraq just like how Israel developed or Dubai or Emirates they are totally western culture people just stuck in the middle east. They need a little bit of help from us to make sure they are safe from ISIS terrorists but soon enough as they develop Northern Iraq they will be able to do it on their own pretty easily just like Israel. They just need 20 years or so to develop and advance but this is a mission that is pretty simple and will lead to amazing results. This is not Afghanistan where the people failed to develop and build an army to defend their own land that is 100000% not the case with the Kurds they for sure will be able to develop just like Israel or other western middles east societies just give them a little bit of time.

Blair as leader of the Government and Jackson as CGS should be tried for war crimes. According to the International Commission of Jurists (ICJ) in Geneva, the invasion of Iraq was neither in self-defense against armed attack nor sanctioned by UN Security Council resolution authorizing the use of force by member states and thus constituted the crime of war of aggression. The fact Jackson and his immediate chain of command did not disobey or even challenge the illegal order to invade IRQ speaks volumes. Not one single officer stood up and said this is wrong and its an illegal order, not one. Think about how bad the leadership culture must be - wooden headed, unintelligent, uninspiring leadership. Still lions lead by donkeys. Get the soldiers out of IRQ and prosecute the politicians and military leaders involved for war crimes. Only then will this mess be made right.
God shut up Putin troll, the International Commission of Jurists has no statute, it is meaningless, but sure why not tell Putin to adhere Russian law to their commission! Also the "war of aggression" component of the UN charter is not legally binding either, its merely a definition to define a military dispute between two nation states, so how can it be "illegal" muppet. Half of the World, especially nation states of Africa, the Middle East and South America during the UN charter decades would all be War Criminals if that were case. I guess you are used to living under a dictatorship, but let me tell you no Iraqi on the ground wanted to live under Saddam Hussein who really was a war criminal, for decades, and no one did anything about it, what do the International Commission of Jurists (ICJ) in Geneva think about that? I guess you didnt notice all the Iraqis out on the streets celebrating his downfall and who themselves put him to trial.
Both the US and UK have been invited to Iraq by the Iraqi government. If you truly think we wronged them then you should appreciate that we are now there at their invitation helping fix those issues.
@@cadennorris960 Wronged them? The invasion of Iraq was a war crime. Their country is still a mess, unemployment is running at greater than 25%. It’s a problem the US and UK created - running endless COIN ops won’t solve a single problem. There is no winning strategy, don’t believe me? Ask your nearest dim witted Sandhurst graduate what the exit strategy is and what it’s timeline will be, also ask how it’s approach will be measured and what success for IRQ looks like when you leave. Then go and ask your RSM/CSM the same question. If the answer includes elimination of Daesh/ISIS/ISIL - then you are being mislead by someone that doesn’t know what they are talking about. COIN ops don’t eliminate terrorists they just end up producing a larger recruiting base.

I doubt it Turkey would love for the Kurdish people to have a home land in another country so they can stop worrying about them trying to set up a homeland inside of Turkey so they should be helping if anything .
They push out across an area as far north as the Syrian border and as far south as Baghdad. In June, Daesh attacked a group of Iraqi soldiers - killing two - in Kirkuk, 60 miles away from Erbil. Their AO is dangerous. Cheers!

Also the "war of aggression" component of the UN charter is not legally binding either, its merely a definition to define a military dispute between two nation states, so how can it be "illegal" muppet. Half of the World, especially nation states of Africa, the Middle East and South America during the UN charter decades would all be War Criminals if that were case. I guess you are used to living under a dictatorship, but let me tell you no Iraqi on the ground wanted to live under Saddam Hussein who really was a war criminal, for decades, and no one did anything about it, what do the International Commission of Jurists (ICJ) in Geneva think about that? I guess you didnt notice all the Iraqis out on the streets celebrating his downfall and who themselves put him to trial.
Both the US and UK have been invited to Iraq by the Iraqi government. If you truly think we wronged them then you should appreciate that we are now there at their invitation helping fix those issues.
@@cadennorris960 Wronged them? The invasion of Iraq was a war crime. Their country is still a mess, unemployment is running at greater than 25%. It’s a problem the US and UK created - running endless COIN ops won’t solve a single problem. There is no winning strategy, don’t believe me? Ask your nearest dim witted Sandhurst graduate what the exit strategy is and what it’s timeline will be, also ask how it’s approach will be measured and what success for IRQ looks like when you leave. Then go and ask your RSM/CSM the same question. If the answer includes elimination of Daesh/ISIS/ISIL - then you are being mislead by someone that doesn’t know what they are talking about. COIN ops don’t eliminate terrorists they just end up producing a larger recruiting base.
@@cadennorris960Do you mean this corrupt Iraqi government installed by America? Surely they will need USE and UK all the time and
Iraqi won't need to worry a out getting shot with them groupings
What’s the point in fighting them when the government gleefully is bringing them in across the channel
Oil*
Arte et Marte!!
Full respect - and best of British - to ALL concerned.👍👍👏👏
Good to see Iraq (this part at least) in a much better state than when I was there. Don't forget who came before and they price they paid guys.

@@farmanosman2759There is no country on the map called Kurdistan, only Iraq🤔😐

Turkey fuming rn
They’re working with Turkey so no
I doubt it Turkey would love for the Kurdish people to have a home land in another country so they can stop worrying about them trying to set up a homeland inside of Turkey so they should be helping if anything .
Yeah Yeah Yeah what ever ?
Absolutely nothing.
Send in the Scots Guards far superior unit❤
A completely unbiased opinion hay🤦♂️🤦♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️😂😂
It's more dangerous in Birmingham than it is in Erbil. Threats in Erbil😂😂😂
They push out across an area as far north as the Syrian border and as far south as Baghdad. In June, Daesh attacked a group of Iraqi soldiers - killing two - in Kirkuk, 60 miles away from Erbil. Their AO is dangerous. Cheers!
@@JW-202360 miles might as well be in a different country. Erbil is safe, always has been.
@@JW-2023Been here for 5 years buddy, please don't try and lecture me on their AO😂😂😂
@@pmozza no lecture from me, mate. Chill out.
So WTF are we doing there? Where are those WMDs?
Hey man it’s been about 18 years since it was discovered that they were no wmds. Hope now you are up to date :)
Of course they had WMC just ask the survivors of the about the 5000 Kurdish people who Saddam killed with Chemical weapons? Look up the Halabja massacre
