Oh Kate! Such innocence 

So, the MoD has offered you a few days in Basra, embedded you, and looks hopefully for the reward of nice, uncomplicated support for the cause. And you oblige with such innocent phrases as - 'The rockets are of course fired by the people who want the troops out'. How perceptive of you! Just as we in Britain would want them out if they were Iraqis parading up and down the Thames embankment, telling us what we could and could not do. They call it patriotism!
