Need help with British quote

[goddess40]

Just got the end of one of the men in the British Parliament talking about sending more British troops to Iraq. He was very angry and said something to the effect that * and Cheney hid from the Viet Nam war but have no problem with sending others to war. He used some derogatory terms about * and Cheney. Does anyone have info on that?

1. Was it "Git"?

That's a slang term over there for stupid people. They qualify.

2. One reference on the subject on Thursday

from Dennis Skinner (the bluntest of the MPs), but no derogatory terms:

"Is the Secretary of State aware that someone does not have to be a lover of Saddam Hussein to be against this deployment and against the war? We are mirroring the views of millions of people in Britain, and of people in his constituency and mine. That is valid reason enough. Does he not think that it is slightly i(r)onic that the American President and his Vice-President, who both refused to face the muck and bullets in Vietnam, are now calling on British forces to bail them out?"
