Trying to blame someone—anyone—other than his man Barack Obama for the security meltdown surrounding NWA 253, Ed Schultz ran head-first without a helmet into American history tonight. Seeking to shift the onus onto England for not having alerted us about having denied young Umar entry into its country, Ed entertainingly claimed that the UK has probably been "our best ally since the country started."
Um, Ed: "since the country started"? You mean, like, when we started the country in 1776? When we declared our independence from, and fought a war against, uh, you know. That same country that—more than a third of a century later—we fought the War of 1812 against, in the course of which its forces occupied Washington, DC and burned down the White House?
Now it's true that for many years we have enjoyed a special relationship with the UK, one personified by the warm and respectful dealings between Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher. One that was strained, however, when shortly after his inauguration PBO removed the bust of Winston Churchill from the Oval Office and sent it back to the Brits.

My God, where do they find these idiots?
ROFL
What a great line!
“How this could be—how the president of the United States could have even less “situational awareness,” as they say in the military, than the average American about the terrorist disaster of his Presidency —is one of the more perplexing and troubling chapters in a story that, despite moments of grandeur, ranks as a national disgrace.”
glgb, you have to be doing double doses of prilosec these days. MSNBC is the gift that keeps on giving.

Have it on a constant IV drip ;-)
OK, get past the American Revolution, and you still have the problem that the British Navy captured Americans and sea and CONSCRIPTED THEM into the British Navy.
This was part of the cause of the War of 1812!
Yes, the Brits have been great allies for well over a century, but ——
GMTA. From original item: “That same “best ally” that—more than a third of a century later—we fought the War of 1812 against, in the course of which its forces occupied Washington, DC and burned down the White House?”
This is what happens when your
stream of consciousness over flows
the banks of reality.
...sounds like something Vice Idiot Biden would say....
Ed hasn’t learned that “a closed mouth gathers no feet.”
(Freeper tagline)
Remember that to those libtards, this country did not exist until Franklin Roosevelt came along.
Is he still angry at the Germans for the attack on Pearl Harbor?
Well Schultz, you won’t ever get the world the way you want it. The lunch at the end of your fork is your own plump, pink rump. The guy you slobber over is a big nothing who walks on air. You’re just one of his unlucky brides headed for self-immolation on his funeral pyre.
Shultz may be our worst ally.
That's great!
IDIOT!
