Head to head: How the forces compare

Thanks Obama for your mealy-mouthed equivocation about “the Malvinas” that set this whole thing going again.

"Bust of Churchill Returned by Obama
"After the September 11th attacks our British allies loaned President George Bush
a bust of one of the greatest Britons the world has ever known, Sir Winston Churchill.
It was a gesture to show their support for the United States in one of its darkest hours.
The bust sat prominently in the Oval Office for the balance of President Bush’s tenure there,
and once President Obama took office, the British offered him the opportunity to keep it for the length of his term.
His response was cold and most likely sent tremors through the British diplomatic community."
....
"Diplomatically this is a faux pax that only an unseasoned politician could make.
The British have stood by our side as strong allies for decades and we need to maintain that relationship,
especially in a world that is becoming increasingly dangerous (See Is Nuclear Weakness on the Horizon)
If he did not want to look at it in the oval office he could have displayed it elsewhere in the White House
and not slapped the British in the face in such a blatant disregard of political etiquette."

"The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong
to some man as his absolute property - either as a child,
a wife, or a concubine - must delay the final extinction of slavery
until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men."
[Winston Churchill, 1899, "The River War"]

So how are the Brits planning on getting there and fighting if most of the Royal Navy is in mothballs and the few remaining active-duty warships don’t have any missiles or ammunition?

Note to America:

This is what happens when you dismantle your Army and Navy. The rest of the world no longer fears you and are willing to take liberties against your citizens and possessions. Especially if oil is involved.

I’m surprised that Hugo Chavez hasn’t Joined the alliance of south American countries involved in this intimidation tactic.

Obama wants to vacation in the islands? I recommend the Falklands. They’re like Hawaii....with sheep!
