Methinks you credit him with entirely too much intellectual capacity . . .

But it's *so* much fun beating him with the clue stick since I added
the nails of knowledge (rusty nails at that)!

But then again, how does the quotes go?

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.

Are the Ilois still trying to get their homes back and be allowed
back on the island? IIRC they were suing the UK and the US.

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.

How about saving the world from the Nazis in WW2? ;-)

They did not save the world from the nazis.

They certainly saved Poles in Poland.

They only sought to save themselves

They offered to supply weapons and muntions to Poland in 1939. Beck
and Rydz-Smigly couldn't be bothered. Dumb. I mean, even the
"Peanut" had the sense to take Soviet arms and munitions when they
were offered.

but did not pass up the chance to enslave eastern Europe.

Hey, the West was perfectly willing to see the Nazis take over Eastern
Europe.

The West didn't lift a finger to impede the military conquest of
Poland, or the process of racial/cultural extermination the Nazis then
initiated.

Eastern Europe only became important to Western Russophobes as the
Soviet Army got close.

Great Britain and France both declared war on Germany within a day of
the invasion of Poland.

Close. IIRC, the Germans invaded on 1 September (at about 0500 GMT). HM's
government declared a state of war as of 1200 Berlin time on 3 September.

And then did what to militarily assist the Poles?
