Presumably, the US is also a has-been nation for its surrender to the Iranians in 1980. And its retreat from Vietnam. And its retreat from Beirut. And its retreat from Somalia?
I have nothing but respect for the U.S. nation and the U.S. military, but I find recent dismissals of the British grossly unfair and an insult to our dead soldiers. Critics of Blair in the UK have argued that the UK has received nothing in return for being the only US ally willing to pay ‘the blood price’ in the War on Terror. Unfortunately, it appears that they might be right.
don’t wet your panties!
the bush-boy administration can’t even deal with internal enemies,
not to mention external.
the same disease that grips europe, grips the states.
