Ha........ This is a slap in the face. If Obama were white, it would leave a red mark.

The Brits are waiting. They and the whole world are waiting for the November 6 crucifixion of the Messiah

“Citing unnamed U.K. officials, the Guardian reported that the United States has made informal requests for access to British bases in Cypress and British territories in the Atlantic and Indian oceans as part of contingency planning for Iran.”

It seems to me the question should be why is the US (aka Obama the Commander in Chief) looking for bases to attack Iran and might that happen just before the election?

This 'news' smells fishy to me. Who benefits from the implied suggestion that 0zer0 is planning a military option against Iran? I think this is more 'leaked' propaganda -that is all it is...

Never trust anything 0zer0 says, implies, suggests, or leaks -watch what the marxist does THAT is how you ascertain what is what.

Bingo!

Great Britain, France and Germany have been rounding up all the leaders of any groups that are considered anti-muslim.

Obama said it himself “It’s all about trust”. The UK can’t trust Obama anymore than any other non Muslim State, so this is what Obama gets.

The question is whether we can ever get back all the old alliances now that America screwed them all by putting this foreign enemy combatant into our White House.

And how are we ever going to apologize enough for what we’ve put our military through? That’s the part that bothers me the worst. This whole country owes a huge apology to the families of our slain and wounded military personnel, for putting an enemy in as their (unlawful) Commander-in-Chief.

96% of the UK is non-Muslim.

I’d really like to encounter this dhimmi UK I keep being told about.

What help?.

We didnt much need you in 1982 (the US help then has been grossly exaggerated), and we’d fight another Falklands on our own, thanks.

Stop throwing your toys out of the pram. We are Britain, not state no 51. Last time I looked, we dont ask how high when you say jump.

If Americans are going to take the hump because god forbid, the Limeys decide to do whats best in the interest of their country and their military, then thats your problem, not ours.

Arent you the biggest, toughest mofos anyway, who can easily kick everyone’s ass?. Surely then you dont need the poor little Limeys or anyone else.....

The Hill must be real MORONS. They don’t even know what they are writing about of even proofread the article.

Where exactly is “CYPRESS”.... that is a tree found all over SC LA, FL GA in the swamps?

Now, the country of CYPRUS is in the Mediterranean and has two British bases on it, granted by treaty in 1960 when Cyprus gained its independence from the UK. It would be those bases the US might have asked to use— but I doubt it. This is more rocket rattle october surprise stuff. But the UN no doubt trying to help obamao.

Actually, anyone who throws a monkey wrench into an Obama October surprise wag the dog scenario is Okay with me.

When we get that arse out of office, the adults can resume discussion of options vis-a-vis Iran.

Wow....you're still mad you lost a few wars to us and that we're not your colony, aren't you, subject?

Without us "showing up", you would have a much more decidedly Russian accent.

We must remember that obozo, the Manchurian Candidate, is the pResident of OUR United States...We the People are the good guys, and we are fighting the enemy within the White House. The Brits are doing what they must, and they are not aiding and abetting the Manchurian Candidate obozo.

I pray for Mitt Romney to win in November, and unite us WITH our allies once again. Until then, remember that We the People are the freedom fighters in this country against the enemy obozo. Bite the bullet and let's win this war in November.
