A Third Opinion: June 2014
http://www.athirdopinion.net/2014_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, 15 June 2014. The Legacy of Rumsfeld - The Crisis of Iraq. Rumsfeld - Arrogant, dangerous, incompetent. The creator of post-war Iraq. Eighteen months ago this website predicted that in 2013 the Syrian conflict would be over. Assad would fall as rebels swept through Damascus. Out of all the predictions made for that year this stood out as being utterly wrong. Shorn of expected Western support by the defeat of the British government. Torn apart from within. Remains the easy target for anyone seekin...

A Third Opinion: Is France the New Face of Military Intervention?
http://www.athirdopinion.net/2011/11/is-france-new-face-of-military.html
Saturday, 19 November 2011. Is France the New Face of Military Intervention? Could another diminutive leader bring France back to a military presence not seen since De Gaulle? The US is scaling back, forces marching out of Iraq and regions of Afghanistan, and "leading from behind" in Libya. But the position of the world's most globally active military will not go unfilled, and for many in the west, the most likely candidate is going to be a surprise. Is that recovery now over? Chad - French forces operat...

A Third Opinion: The Haqqani Network
http://www.athirdopinion.net/2011/11/haqqani-network.html
Monday, 7 November 2011. Even as the last US forces begin to leave Iraq, the war in Afghanistan is far from over. The Taliban have always been the enemy, any Joe Blogg off the street could tell you that. The Taliban who were oppressing Afghanistan and wanted to crush western civilisation under the guiding hand of the king of all hide-and-seek games, Osama Bin Laden. Massoud was killed, but not before his cries for international aid were heard, and NATO entered Kabul. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

A Third Opinion: December 2014
http://www.athirdopinion.net/2014_12_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 16 December 2014. The Taliban - You Reap What You Sow. The Taliban has hurt the only power to protect it for decades. Today, on 16th December 2014, the Taliban made the most tragic and devastating error. Since 21st September 2001. On that date thirteen years ago their representatives chose to defy the US. Only one thing saved them from eradication in the years following, the protective shield of the Afghan border with Pakistan. The Taliban was created by Pakistan and they were protected by i...

A Third Opinion: We Don’t Do God
http://www.athirdopinion.net/2014/04/we-dont-do-god.html
Thursday, 17 April 2014. We Don’t Do God. David Cameron's Christian message is out of touch with an increasingly non-religious public. With the general elections just a year away the United Kingdom’s Prime Minister, David Cameron, has tried a new electoral gambit – labelling himself an. The old core is exactly that – old. They represent a demographic overwhelmingly over the age of 50 and a set of values which dates far older than the 1960s-70s many of them grew up in. Many remember London w...They also v...
