The US was hardly standing by idle, since we bought and renovated
Diego Garcia from the idiot British. Just in case their
Indian sub-empire gets like you know, how do the British say it, bridgy.


Diego Garcia is still BIOT (British Indian Ocean Territory). The joint UK-US
facility is on lease to the US. Please explain to the commissoner in the
Foreign and Commonwealth Office, London, that the US has bought outright
Diego Garcia and the BIOT.

I didn't say that we bought BIOT. Given that I bought
Tee-shirts from Picadilly Circus, Stone Henge, BIOT, Gitmo,
Rockerfeller Center, The White House, and The Pentagon, none of them is
anything more than a standard issue British-French-Canadian tourist trap.

But, being Americans, rather than moron Europeans we
bought landing rights in Diego Garcia, Puerto Rico, Brazil, Argentina,
Panama, Ireland, Scotland, London, Paris, Berlin, Toronto, Moscow, Rome,
Tel Aviv, New York, Washington, Los Angelos, San Diego, San Franciso,
Seattle, Norfolk, North Carolina, Chicago, Detroit, St. Louis, Orlando,
Miama, Toykeo, Soeul, Sydney, The North Pole, The South Pole, North Dakota,
Wyoming, and the Moon.

We didn't really buy landing rights in Jeruselem since the
Iraqis have squatters rights.
