Can someone really be lost for words?

Question

Apparently YES !!

Can someone please clarify what sort of "PLAN" would allow its countrys' BEST asset go to the aid of USA in AFGHANISTAN, then were left GROSSLY under-manned and under-resourced when 77% of US troops were withdrawn from AFGHANISTAN shortly after?

I quote from http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/6244955.stm
"Foreign office minister Geoff Hoon has responded to claims British forces in Afghanistan are "overstretched" and said the mission is going as planned.
Tory MP Sir John Stanley had told MPs in a Westminster debate that UK troops were "more than pulling their weight".
But, he said, they were undermanned and lacked vital equipment. " UNQUOTE

QUOTE Sean Langan (from the Dispatches programme link http://www.channel4.com/news/dispatches/article.jsp?id=986#start) " Overstretched and outnumbered, are the British troops fighting an unwinnable war in Afghanistan?

YES when Tony Bliar (sic) doesn't follow up on http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/5414974.stm

Re John D

Me thinks you must be a politician because you can't answer a direct question but put spin on it in order to deflect from the real issue !!! ho-hum !

Better men than you, Great men have been known to be inflicted with dylexia and worse.. yet all you can do is nit-pick on the odd grammatical error...!!

You are DEFINATELY a politician !!

Answer 1

apparently you are...It's "at a loss for words", not "be lost for words"...Keep piling on facts and information on your shaky, paper mache foundation of knowledge. Before getting into learning about politics, learn about history, english grammar, etc. It's just better to start with a strong foundation of basic knowledge before delving into deep stuff you think you know.
