Bullocks. They're only sorry Americans were outraged they printed it in the first place.

Four years ago our very own CBS had a show that put the caption "Snipers Wanted" below a picture of President Bush. There are jerks in every country, I'm afraid.

Oh, gosh! So very sorry I raped your mother and burned your house down. Well, then... everything is just fine now that I said, "sorry", isn't it?

No?

Why you bloody ungrateful Yank!

If nothing else, we know the Brits must suffer turds in their media on a daily basis as we do.

Nobody is mad at you, sir, but I bet that jerk is still working at that same paper and they are still carrying on just the same. Probably gave him a raise. I am sorry that your country suffers the same commie morons that we suffer.

Hey Ivan, I say the Brits are defined by their corageous troops in Iraq, not an inconsequential wacko reporter. We have a few like him right here at home, so not to worry.

I love Britain. I was stationed there in the early 90's (USAF)and fell in love with it. Probably some ancestral thing. Loved your letter and do appreciate the fact that not all Brits (and other Euro's for that matter) have drank the BlameAmerica kool-aid. Wish I could say the same for your media. BBC seems to be the media outlet for Al-Queda.

...a retraction only because one of the majority of such publications in England was caught. The spirit of King George III's insanity continues to live and be ever as morbid there.

I would imagine they were bombarded with emails expressing outrage at this despicable article, as well as a visit from the US SS.

Just as you say. As in this country, there are the soldiers and those who abuse them, so in Britain. I think the troops from England are a far different sort than the priviledged elitists who owe their paychecks to a subculture at odds with country, virtue, and freedom itself.

In both the UK and America we have freedom of speech because of the Soldier, not the journalist.

The journalist has won the freedom to lie without consequence.

...so true, this message MUST BE POUNDED into the MSM (ABCNNBC_BS/NYT/WT/LAT:), every time they "soil" the American people w/their anti-american/pro-marxist opinions.
