You can't be serious! I hardly think that the reference was to
cloudy skies, it was clearly a transparent reference to our country
being portrayed as evil, but tolerable just long enough to snap
some pictures before going back to a place of enlightment on the
other side of the pond, and frankly, the more rebuttals I read the
more I feel this great country is being maligned by the very people
who benefit from their relationship with us economically,
politically, and militarily (for protection against a strategic
threat).

Having spent the last three months living with the same lighting
conditions as can be seen in most of Glenn's photographs from
Waddington, Duxford, Farnborough and Coventry, it just seemed more
likely that the comment referred to the part of the world where the
photographs were taken than to a different part of the world entirely.

I do agree that the comment owed more to baiting the Poms than strict
accuracy, as there's blue sky in two of the pictures.

Then it should have been so stated and not looking like he was
stooping low to condescend to come to the United States and get
the hell back as soon as possible. Lots of people have come to
his defense on this, but if your version is truer than mine, why
hasn't he responded? I think we all know.

Hemi, you're an idiot. You're probably the only American that thinks Glenn
was bad-mouthing the USA.

You're so busy stepping on ****-ants that you can't see the elephants.

Do we?

Have you contemplated that the reference could be based upon the ROW being
"dark" when we are in sunshine? Probably not.

I had responded, just you chose to ignore or it it has not appeared on your
server yet.

You still need to grow up.

No; *you* can't be serious. Glenn has a sense of humour; clearly missing in
you.

Seriously, are you still harping a on about this.
I already stated why I said it.
has nothing to do with your country being evil.
I think your comments are more portraying your country in a bad light than
anything I say.

You need to grow up.
