Firstly I'm not sure I have said that. I didn't want them (correction "us")
there in the first place. But in contrast to Afghanistan, the job needs to be
finished.

Secondly notwithstanding the above I would be happy to make an exception in
Gowen's case, perhaps he could lead the vanguard against Iran.

I'm sure I could give him some pointers in desert survival. Never stand when you
can sit, never sit when you can lie, never lie when you can sleep. Don't drink
soda or beer.
