More importantly, I want to know when the US Government intends to overthrow the British Government. The 23 alleged terrorists are British so, on the grounds that Iraq was invaded on the pre-text of the 20 9/11 bombers being from countries only a few thousand miles from Iraq, when are you coming to overthrow Blair? Rumour has it is that Blair has already pledged support to the Americans for his own overthrow so we're waiting for you!

We are busy inventing democracy in Greece. Besides, then all the other states would want free healthcare.

I like your style, not only are you spreading democracy around the world you're now inventing it.

Anyway, where's that recording of Bush chatting away like the fool he is that someone posted the other day - I need a laugh.

      Not going to happen.  We are having enough trouble introducing Democracy in the ME without trying to civilize the savages in the UK.  Getting them to drive on the right side of the road would be easy enough, simply fill the roads with American SUV's and let the proletariat adapt or perish.  But any people who insist that beer should be drunk warm???  Hopeless.  We might as well just drop the Neutron Bomb to spare the architecture and re-populate.

When it comes to beer it really is a case of don't knock what you don't understand. We put better things in our dog's drinking bowls than the muck that passes for beer over there - it's just gas, flavouring and chemicals. We've had hundreds of years of perfecting the arts of all sorts of wierd and wonderful brews. When you're next over among the savages I'll introduce you to a few delights you'll appreciate. Budwieser, Miller Light etc is just mass produced muck for the mass produced palate - we have brews over here that are only sold in the village they're brewed and so retain their unique character for the more refined gentlemen of this world.

Regards

Original conservitive views say that we need to keep everything in America and not worry or deal much with other countries. Liberal thoughts where what made us think to have foreign policy. However, after seventy plus years, foreign policy has become a conservitive issue. It is now a liberal view not have much to do with other countries.

Status: offline 		      Oh no!  I'm not in any way discrediting the quality of UK beer. Some of it is easily as good as a mid-grade American Craft Beer.  As for the fizzy yellow water from the industrial vats, I'll not only agree with anything you have to say about, I'll cover your back while you say it to any audience.

    I'm just saying, run the tapline through some coolant (a copper coil in a half-barrel of ice will do in a pinch) and drink it like members of a civilized modern society.

It can't be all bad - the first chance most of us get we're off setting up home in Canada. Anyway, our Crimean War style hospitals aren't what they're cracked up to be - having a leg sawn off for nothing more than athritis is functional but there's a groundswell of opinion developing that it may be unnecessary.

Regards

it's in the taste Wyrd, if you need to refrigerate something to be able to drink it then forget it

Status: offline 		Yea, let's speculate a bit...the left got us into WWII when FDR 'forced' the Japanese to bomb Pearl Harbor with our embargo of oil etc.

The left got us into the Korean War when they 'forced' the commies to invade the south.

The left got us into Viet Nam when they 'forced' the commies to invade the south.

The left got us into the Gulf War when they 'forced' Saddam to invade Kuwait.

Now the left got us into Iraq while almost the entire US govt. and diplomatic corp. are of the right and 'let' them.

So easy to pin everything that goes wrong on those whose politics you don't appreciate...isn't it ? Now as for the prosecution of this war...well it had to be the left that had us try to take over Iraq with 1/4 of those used to simply remove Iraq from Kuwait, but then the left was never very good at math...hey ?

     Different tastes, different climates.  When it is 105 degrees, I drink my coffee on ice.

Time to hold my hands up, Wyrd. I enjoy a cold beer on a hot day (few and far between over here) so I take your point about climate.

Living in a country that only sells modern cold lager beers, I appreciate more than ever English beers and ales. The stuff most people drink today is pasteurised beer and will last just about for ever. A good traditional English beer and ale will only last for a week or two because it is a fresh product and still has all the flavour. Cooling modern beers doesn't matter because there is no flavour to kill but cooling a traditional beer will kill off the beer.

People don't like warm traditional ale because they don't understand them and appreciate the flavours. The same can be said for traditional full bodied wines which are now being replaced with lighter wines. People just don't appreciate the full flavour and regard them as too heavy.

Status: offline 		Rich,

Thanks for the most idiotic OP in the history of the internet.

Seven pages of Republican criticism of Clinton during Kosovo...

http://www.democrats.org/pdfs/gop_kosovo.pdf#search=%22criticism%20kosovo%20republican%22

That said, how fucking dare you blame probably the worst military blunder since I don't know, the time the Persians let the Greeks hold them at Thermopylae.

Even if we grant you this completely idiotic theory, how are you going to explain the complete and utter incompetence of the occupation?  How are you going to deal with the fact that Bush has not only failed to isolate Iran but has turned them from a has-been into the major player and clear leader of the Muslim world?  Not to mention that Iraq is also now THE major training base for Al Queda.

Not only that but he has devastated the military, our readiness is in the tank, we are loosing our officer and NCO cadres as fast as they can find a way to get out, the guard is being destroyed and will likely never recover, our equipment is worn out, we are scrapping the needed buildup to counter China in order to fund daily operations in Iraq.

In short, Bush has set a standard for incompetent at the presidential level that will never be broken.  All while the Republicans sat on their asses and did nothing but spend like drunken sailors.

Treason is too kind a word for it.
