"In his very insulting performance with the President at the Camp David press conference Gordon Brown suspended this special relatonship; at least for the period that he or the Republicans remain in office (including the possibility of a Rice presidency if Condi makes progress in the Israeli-Palestine issue). It was noticed in the US that while the President gave commeration to the British troops that had died in Iraq, Brown refused to reciprocate. It was also noticed that at no point did Brown express any understanding of imperatives in Iraq or support for US coalition presence there."
And, what does "commeration" mean?
