UK: "We are now a client state"

[Nihil]

There was a very clear, concise summary of the US/UK relationship
in yesterday's Guardian. It is a sadly accurate article.

Where is Guy Fawkes when you need him?

Nihil

1. Guy Fawkes... or the infamous Euroskeptics

Loss of sovereignty for loss of sovereignty, I'd think the EU was the far better option. At least the EU package includes a minimum of democratic guarantees. De Gaulle tossed NATO (US) troops out of France, the Brits might be wise to do the same.

4. Kennedy royally screwed up with De Gaulle

That is one blemish the Kennedies can't ever undo

[Paschall]

8. For what it's worth

I don't think Kennedy had anything to do with De Gaulle's decision. I think De Gaulle's war experience taught him it was best to preserve French independence from Uncle Sam. You'll recall that the French NATO row followed close on the heels of French withdrawal from Southeast Asia, and was almost simultaneous to De Gaulle's warnings to Washington about US entanglement in that part of the world.

2. U R right,

that 'comment' piece is sad. I wonder if this is apparent 2 the average UK pub crowd? And will they blame poodle boy?

3. I've been told

by some people that yes it is aparent, one reason
they have turned on the poodle...

We need to vote our fascist out, they need to drive
their fascist out and they need to find their Jefferson.

I read that article last night and today's statement
by Blair to Congress took on another flavor, kind of
a Colonial Governor giving a report to the Home Government.

Anybody up for a tea Party at ... Leeds?

5. Things will be HOT in the UK with the Chenny Oil Maps

Before 9-11 and before the inspectors went into Iraq, BFEE were planning the dividing up of the Iraq Oil fields.

Blair opened his mouth to soon.

6. Things are hot with missing moles

never mind that.

[Loonman]

7. That's right

Jump, Tony, Jump.

Good dog.
