Wow..... someone has it right! Hope you don't mind a friendly ping!

The Danes bestride 'Old Europe' like a mighty colossas!

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

Lando, thank you for the ping. This is a very strong statement of support.

"In today's globalized world, those who do us harm are no longer discouraged by geography or by traditional deterrence. Terrorism, WMD and missiles are the new threats." Moreover, the Danish Government has clearly signaled it believes that the use of military force is a key component of international diplomacy and that the US deserves support in its endeavor to continue its campaign against international terrorism and its roots."

Sorry, Jacque.

NON-UN-ilateral, Coalition ally, ping!

 Thanks, Tonkin!

If you want on or off my Pro-Coalition ping list, please Freepmail me. Warning: it is a high volume ping list on good days. (Most days are good days).

We cannot just sail under a flag of convenience and let others fight for freedom and peace.

HELLOOOOOOOOO FRANCE!

[Miss Marple]

The spirit of my paternal great-grandparents, Christiana Larsen and Peder Pedersen, lives on. God bless Denmark!

[RoughDobermann]

Something's not rotten in the state of Denmark...

[sarasmom]

Loved the ping!
My question is:
Was this published in any Danish or European mass media outlets?
I certainly did not see any USA media coverage of these sentiments.
Inquiring minds want to know.

Great Danes !

In September 2002, the Bush administration published its "National Security Strategy," which deals in part with the threat from enemies either possessing or attempting to acquire WMD

I wish the loony left here in the US and their buggy-eyed British counterparts (including the BBC) would try remembering that.

The left is so stupid their leaders are counting on it.

"We have known for many years that Saddam Hussein is seeking and developing weapons of mass destruction."

NOW he says the war in Iraq was a "fraud cooked up in Texas."

During the Clinton reign, I met a collegue who was from Denmark. I asked about the European attitude about Clinton, and she said that everyone she knew despised him and wondered why the Americans put up with him. She said that the information about all of his scandals was in all the papers.

I have always wondered just how real the supposed love affair with the Clintons is in Europe.

Maybe with the European left... but consider how much public opinion is biased by the OldDominantMedia. Do you think they might not tell us that Clinton was very unpopular in a lot of European quarters? Hmmmm....

[Billthedrill]

I might put it a little more succinctly, at least from where I sit. It's because the Danes have brains, and spines attached to them.

Thanks for posting this good article.

Makes me despise the Franco/Kraut appeasers even more.

[alfa6]

Thanks for the ping there, Lando. Very interesting articles, I will be sure to pass them on to a couple of folks who will not see the light no matter how bright it shines.

BTW, did you see where Bill Whittle is looking at a speaking tour? Should be interesting, eh.

Bump!

[Lando Lincoln]

Greetings alfa6.....I have a feeling that BW's star is just starting to rise. He will begin in LA. Sure hope he makes it to Chicago.

All the best FRiend,

Lando

To be or not to be, (on the right side of this)

That is the question, (act or react, act means life, react means death)

Whether 'tis nobler in the mind, (it is a noble cause)

To suffer the slings and arrows, (that is the point to stop the archer before he looses the bolt)

Of our eternal damnation, (if we do nothing we are doomed)

[Lando Lincoln]

I am definitely smiling....gotta love the sophistication of FReepers!!!
