I didnt and wouldnt sneer about Sept 11th, my point was that to criticise other’s security, when the security of the world’s most powerful nation and military were ‘defeated’ by civilians with the most basic tools (literally), is short memoried and hypocritical.
Americans have NO right to criticise our security.
Why? Simple: 1996 Atlanta and 2001 NY. Get your own security in order before you attack others......
I was making a valid point. NOT sneering.
Yes, Romney’s comments werent appallingly offensive, but the fact remains that to do so in another country where you are the guest is rude. If Cameron did it in the US, it would be rude and no doubt he’d be a pompous Limey/Euro and rightly get criticised.
Had Obama made the exact same comments, you and everyone here would be attacking him for it.
Your security?
Who do you think PROVIDES your bloody effing security? David Cameron (or your apparent butt-boy Jeremy Hunter, for God’s sake) sure as hell doesn’t secure your kilted little fanny from the likes of China or Russia or even from a nuclear-armed Pakistan or Iran.
You WERE sneering about 9-11. Let me offer a suggestion: If you plan to run around London giving lessons in manners and diplomacy, as you are doing here, be damned careful which Yanks you select to receive your beery wisdom in person.
There are a hell of a lot of them, like me, who on hearing you spit upon the memory of that day, will instantly make you pay for it in your own blood, and likely a half a dozen of your stained and crooked teeth as well.
