Right on cue

As if on cue, protesters turned out in Luton to "greet" British troops returning from Iraq.

Twice in two years they have fought in Iraq, with two of their comrades paying the ultimate price when they died in a roadside bomb attack in Basra and 10 more killed in Afghanistan.

But a homecoming parade in honour of 200 soldiers back from the battlefields was marred yesterday(tues) by Muslim anti-war protesters.

They hurled abuse as members of the 2nd Battalion The Royal Anglian Regiment marched proudly through the centre of Luton.

Waving placards with slogans saying: 'Anglian soldiers: Butchers of Basra,' and 'Anglian soldiers: cowards, killers, extremists,' and 'baby killers,' they were hemmed in by police as the parade passed.

Sick.

Rabble-rousing

Spotted over at Theo's place. Guess which peaceful, respectable religious group wants to disgrace troops tomorrow at a homecoming parade in Britain?

Where's the outrage now?

Hey...remember when the left went batshit crazy over George W. Bush using troops as "props" when he delivered speeches at military installations? Being the rational, objective types that they are, I guess we'll be seeing similar invective toward Obama.

Yessiree...any time now...
