Politics...
Lets order a pizza and have a drink instead.

I'm with you. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />
Too much depressing news over the last 6 months.
Need to take a vacation, go camping, do some fishing, chop stuff with my knives,
and generally stick my head in the sand for awhile to recharge.

Pizza, I really like Lil" Ceasars pizza, 5.99 out the door for a "large" with one topping. Enough change left over to even buy beer.

I saw The Patriot.

They sent one guy. And that was toward the end!

Besides, France is the only country I know of that LOST their own revolution.

Please I am sick of the news...period! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" />

Vic is right... without France, we wouldnt exist. But now we call them ______.

The depression, recession??? whaaaaatttt!!! OBAMA's going to fix it all! I know it! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

So how do you think Isreal will consider a President whose father was Muslim and whose step father was also Muslim...and who has applied considerable pressure to stop the shelling of Gaza?

France is also the prime supporter of the Arab cause among the G10 countries and amongst those Nato countries providing support for joint operations deployment to assist with Afghanistan and Iraq contributes the least....along with Germany.Where as suprise suprise...when you get to go over there you might see a fair number of British troops...same as Gulf War I & II,Korea, WWII & WWI.

Even in Vietnam our commonwealth Australian and NZ forces were there with you...where as Isreal in all conflicts since WWII and their foundation has never offered any joint alli troop support.

As for his treatment of our Prime Minister...it is no secret that our Labour Party had with Tony Blair a great working relationship with the former President and I suspect that may still play a part in a new incoming party's views. He also may not have been impressed with the levels of "benefits" his brother ( also a Muslim ) was receiving when he visited him in London. However as far as benefits go...Britian is probably one of the most generous State providers. So go figure???

Well Peter, many of our younger folks are not familiar with Britian's involvement with the United States and their wars. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> It is too easy to be influenced by the "news" as presented on television, combined with the ever-changing and more "politically correct" teaching in our schools which reflects the liberal views of our teachers. Money "talks" and can change history - depending on who is "bought". <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" />

I would like you to know that millions of Americans STILL appreciate our strongest ally!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> Tom

I was apalled by the lack of respect shown the Prime Minister by PrezBO. His handlers should have figured out a way for him to use teleprompters at such occasions so he would know what to do and what to say.

With all the talk of Britian and / or Isreal being bantered about here, I would like
to put in a little plug for Canada as being the true "best" ally of the U.S.

We are your biggest (by a large margin over the next in line) economic trading partner.

We are co-partners in NORAD. In fact, it was a Canadian General at duty stations in NORAD,
who was the one who ordered all domestic air-traffic halted on 9/11.

We have a proud tradition of shared military history with your country.
In fact, 2 of our head military leaders have served as commanders in the U.S. Army

General Rick Hillier
Former Chief of Defense Staff for the Canadian Armed Forces, military leader of the Canadian
Armed Forces (similar to being the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff at the Pentagon)

First ever Canadian Deputy Commanding General III Corps U.S. Army at Fort Hood Texas

General Walter Natynczyk Present Chief of Defense Staff for the Canadian Armed Forces
Graduate of the US Army War College.
Deputy Commanding General III Corps at Fort Hood Texas, deployed with the III Corps to Baghdad (2004).
Served as the Deputy Director of Strategy, Policy and Plans, as the Deputy Commanding General of the
Multi-National Corps (Iraq) and as commander of the III Corps 35,000 soldiers (consisting of 10 separate
brigades) stationed throughout the Iraq Theatre of Operations.

I would think that when it comes to your military allies throughout the world,
you only need to take a look at your neighbors to the north to see true friends.

Yeah', I suppose you guys are OK too! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

There is truth in that statement.
