A disaster? No, it's high time Britain stopped being Uncle Sam's poodle...And as for those taunts about their 'oldest allies' the French, who cares!

On June14, 1982, I watched the leading elements of Britain’s task force march wearily but triumphantly into Port Stanley, as the Argentine forces in the Falkland Islands surrendered.

That day, as we can see with painful clarity 31 years later, was the high watermark of British military endeavour since 1945.

Margaret Thatcher’s premiership was saved from disaster. A brutal South American dictatorship was extinguished. The Royal Marines and Parachute Regiment put to flight a rabble of Argentine conscripts who were playing way out of their league — Wigan Athletic against Manchester United.

There's a lot of home truths there.

Like I've said many times, you go and help some of those folks and after you've done that, they turn on you.

There's no point in us fighting such people with our rules of engagement and humanitarian practices when those we're "helping" have no rules but one = "Kill the Infidels" and do so in the most horrific way they can.

It's life Jim, but not as WE know it.
Live long and prosper.

It is no surprise that it was a 'Bostonian' John Kerry (His family were from there and He returned there for UNI and became a politician there), would come out with a dig at Britain, we are hated in that City.

His mother was brought up in France and He has visited there a lot, including most of his childhood summers. He is related to the Forbes family, who are no friends of the British either.

Only 10 years ago 2003 , France was the USAs greatest 'enemy' according to Politicians and most of it's media, in Fact FOX news and others, attacked Kerry, for his ties to France and even tried to demonise him for the hideous crime of 'speaking French', when He ran against Bush for President in 2004
