To pay for the Iraqi Folly. What utter ARSEHOLES!


Perhaps they would be better equipped to cover their national security
responsibilities if they didn't have a massive welfare state to pay for.

But alas, such is the story with Europe these days; bare-bones military
expenditures in favor of wasteful and unnecessary social programs.
Depend on
the USA to provide most security, then accuse them of 'imperialism'. What a
joke.

err - the US Carriers, bombers and tanks protect the Europeans from
whom exactly? Who is about to murder the germans, rape the french and
pillage the Brits? For instance I am at a loss to understand who
threatens the physical security of the UK? Why does UK or France need
Carriers?
