UK soldier shot and killed in Afghanistan

Amongst other things, our troops are there to protect us here in Britain. Iran (A sponser of terrorist activity against our establishment of democracy in both Iraq & Afghanistan) is likely developing a nuclear weapon. If Saddam were still ruling Iraq, on the balance of probabilities, his response to a perceived Iranian Nuclear threat against Iraq, would certainly have been to create an Iraqi  atomic bomb. 

           Iraq, before the war had developed it's own military industrial complex including missiles that were capable of dominating it's neighbours in the Gulf with either chemical, biological or nuclear warheads. Saddam you will remember attempted to build thelong-range Iraqui Supergun being built in Britain, but scuppered by an MI6 scam ( they knew it's claimed petrochemical use was bogus). Mysteriously the Iraqis had specified the ''petrochemical item'' was to be built to a Royal Ordinance specification which is normally used for artillery pieces.before it was completed . Iraq could have used it's Supergun to deliver a high explosive shell against neighbouring countries but a barrel life of only 50 rounds would be a nonsense use of a hugely expensive gun. A nuclear or chem. use  was  a certainty.
