“You can call it poetic justice: While Europe went mad with anti-American rage during the Bush years, the Europeans also sabotaged themselves. Europe has been in massive denial of the terror threat, of Islamic fascism, and of nuclear proliferation to rogue regimes in the Middle East. Instead, they have been marching around like a cock with barnyard matter on its feet, blissfully ignorant of mounting dangers.”

Just a little confused by the whole report.
It’s primarily a speculation about the British army, with a tint on the issue of ‘poor’ equipment to Brit troops.
Then it comes out with the above sentence.

It’s a report about Britain, but then goes into the Europeans over their anti-US ‘rage’ and being in denial of the Islamic threat.
Not too sure if the Brits are implied in this.

Poetic justice, my arse!!!
While we (Brits) fought a terrorist threat for over 30 yrs - by terrorists trained in the same camps as AQ -, we saw massive funding for this terrorist group from so-called grass root Americans. Money that helped bomb and kill people in my country.
Us Brit soldiers saw the link between the ultra left wing terror group attacking us and the Islamic terror groups, but the notion was always seen as a ploy to try and shut down the cash flows from the US.
Well, we told ya so.........

The folks who provided money to the IRA are the same ones who voted for Teddy Kennedy (who is attempting to do to this country, through political means, what the IRA attempted to do to Britain through violence). Freepers consider such people decidedly un-American, their residence here notwithstanding.
