The MoD is furious that wikileaks has released many documents about the Iraq War.
They are furious as incidents like this one where a British soldier murdered an 8 year old girl as she played in the street have a very slight chance of becoming public knowledge:
...Lawyer Phil Shiner said the murder happened while soldiers were handing out sweets to children.
He said: "The tank stopped at the end of the street, she's there in her yellow dress, a rifleman pops up and blows her away."...
So, to those that say "you should support our troops", I ask, do they support murder?

When listening to the Let's Talk show on the Muslim World, the guest on the show mentioned how the US was leaving Iraq in defeat and other Muslims seems to be of the same view too...
but is that not foolish to think the US is leaving in failure and instead never got exactly what it went?
Firstly its not a withdrawal (as there are still 50,000 troops there and some permanent bases have been built...) and secondlt, I would question wether it really is defeat too.
To assume that it is losing in failure, you have to assume or accept that America is not getting exactly what it wanted in Iraq - a state of general chaos.
