Prince Harry: Back Because of Blabbers

Long live the Prince! Prince Harry arrived back in Britain today after a 10 week stint in Afghanistan -- withdrawn after the details of his secret deployment became public.

The Prince did not speak to reporters as he left the troop carrier. Surprise, surprise! According to the AP, Harry was greeted by his father and brother at the Brize Norton air base in Oxfordshire, southern England.

Prince Charles spoke about Harry and the media leak saying, "I feel particular frustration that he was removed unexpectedly early because, apart from anything else, he had been looking forward to coming back with the rest of his regiment."

Officials say the Prince could be deployed later this year, but won't pinpoint exactly where. Shocker!

61. His boots look awfully clean for having just been in combat...you can't just polish those suede boots up to a nice shine. I'm just sayin...

62. TO #13 It's easy to do something when your a no one but once you have a career etc its alot different to then go to a warzone as a soldier. Comparing when Bush was in vietnam is in no way comparible to what Prince Harry did which is go to war when he has everything to lose. When Bush sends one of his children or goes as the president/soldier then we will talk.

68. To # 13 -In May 1968, at the height of the ongoing Vietnam War, Bush was accepted into the Texas Air National Guard despite[21] only scoring in the 25th percentile[22][23] on the pilot's written aptitude test, which was the lowest acceptable passing grade.[21] This was at a time when more than ten thousand Air National Guard personnel, many fighter pilots, had been called to active duty to serve both in Vietnam, and in support of operations there.[24] After training, he was assigned to duty in Houston, flying Convair F-102s out of Ellington Air Force Base.[25] Critics have alleged that Bush was favorably treated during his time of service because of his father's political standing and that he was irregular in attendance.

Dreamer - so he went to the airport ,big deal. I do not see his daughters or nephews actually fighting. Good for you, Harry - and shame on the people who put his and his battalions lives in danger for a news story.

69. " I would have admired Prince Harry more if he had stayed. "

He couldn't have stayed. Forget about himself being in danger. Anyone hunting him would have taken out anybody and everybody around him. He would have been a danger to his own men.

71. A lot of people are acting like Harry was the first soldier to land on Omaha Beach. I don't buy it. He probably slept on silk sheets and had catered meals. Now he'll take a few million out of the family piggy bank and go on a worldwide PR tour.

72. I fully comprehend the necessity of the Prince's hasty departure but given his tenacity and talent as a soldier, I hoped he would have called granny and pulled rank!

The royals are a target wherever they go simply because of who they are whether in London or Afghanistan....Some of the new threats in the last few hours against Harry are particulary heinous. At least in Afghanistan he hidden (even though the red hair was a giveaway) had his own weapon and was surrounding by mates with theirs.

74. One more thing, it seems like after everytime Matt Drudge is mentioned n regards to this story they make sure to mention Monica Lewinsky...coincidental during this make or break pre- March 4 primary weekend for Hillary and Obama?
