Bump that.
Unfortunately to save ourselves from Iran etc we save them in the process
Sort of like the USA
In order to save our way of life we save the damn liberals from committing suicide
It is maddening
And then it goes into screaming fits when the US acts to protect Europe’s own vital oil supply through the Gulf. Europe is now a hysterical old woman.
We should not be so quick to give up NATO. NATO saved the West from Soviet imperialism and is still viable.
Oh I imagine the Brits will rue the day they left Iraq, believeing in Pelosi rather than Bush. Gordon Brown thought America would lose in Iraq. He was wrong.
And now the Brits will ned the US to help them protect their interests in the Carribean and in the SOuth Atlantic.
Not much chance of that now. Gordon Brown is a strategic , short sighted idiot.
Mr. Brown will rue the day he pulled British forces out of Iraq.

Ref.:
In a new outburst of antiwestern sabre-rattling, President Hugo Chavez of Venezuela has threatened Britain with “revenge” for the Falklands war of 1982. The belligerent Latin American leftist warned last week that his recent build-up of sophisticated Russian and Iranian weapons would be used to destroy the British fleet if it attempted to return to the South Atlantic.
Speaking on his weekly television show Alo Presidente (Hello, Mr President), Chavez denounced what he described as Britain’s “illegal occupation” of the Falklands and repeated his call for a regional military alliance against Britain and the United States.
“If we had been united in the last war, we could have stopped the old empire,” Chavez said, as he gesticulated to maps showing how Venezuelan aircraft and submarines would intercept British warships. “Today we could sink the British fleet.”

This is a very silly article.
Did anyone imagine that western troops will stay in Iraq forever? We Brits want to be out because when the USA bombs Iran, we don’t want to be in a Shi’ite neighbourhoood. Also, if the Muslim tw*ts can’t sort themselves out by now, why should our boys suffer in the process?
Was the NATO mutual defence clause ever invoked for Iraq?
If not, did the US request it to?
Wait a minute ....this so called ‘withdrawal’ was on the books as far back as 2003-2004, yet it is been turned into some sort of ‘surrender’ by the media, the Left, and PARTICULARLY the Right. It is quite interesting. While I think the Brits have become quite soft (and many of the jokes said about the French have been just as applicable towards the Brits, more so after that whole kidnapping debacle by the Iranians), I do not think this whole Basra thing is surrender. Unless they started to ‘surrender,’ with the US’ blessing, in late 03-04.
Hard to take seriously an article when he gets the first sentence wrong...
We get out of the U.N. and NATO, completely. Halt all funding to same and watch them whither.
Anything less equates to national masochism.
