I posted this quote for this statement, "We have controlled the situation down here while the Americans seem to have ruined it up there."
Cheap shots like saying "THE AMERICANS SEEM TO HAVE RUINED IT" are typical of the kind of crap British soldiers, officers, and journalists like to dish out about Americans.
Show me a quote by any American soldier, officer, or journalist criticizing the British Army in Iraq and I'll apologize.
I guess if you were in the bar when me and my mates were drinking with members of the USMC when we were slagging each other of you would of gone into a right hissy fit.
You are just looking for reasons to slag the Brits of.
But remember one thing they are out there while you are safely tucked up in your bed.
