Neither Labour nor the Tories are rooted in liberalism, although they have liberal wings.
FussYeah, the LibDems aren't fascist. But you came in here acting like the name made them the only liberal party in the UK, when it very much is not.

1) RIP to a real one, I won't deny the IRIAF have balls. 2) the QAF conducted itself honourably. 3) the only successful one I'm aware of was the Tiger attack.
TravisQatar will be repatriating the remains of an Iranian Air Force pilot killed during an attempted airstrike on the US base in Qatar early in the Ramadan war. Brigadier General Majid Kazemi. While this strike failed, several other IRIAF bombing runs on US bases in the region were successful.
