The painter Benjamin West wrote that when he talked to King George III during the Revolutionary War, the monarch asked him what he thought George Washington would do if he prevailed.
Return to his farm, West predicted -- accurately, as it turned out.
"If he does that," King George remarked, "he will be the greatest man in the world."

They will revote as soon as the Muzzies take over and reform the nation as Englandstan.

Gotta point out that, unlike ol’ Boney, Washington was never prepared to invade the UK.

It is notable that Washington was the least willing foe they have ever faced. He was a loyal British subject who could no longer withstand the abuse of an arrogant government. It was not for church, grandeur, or empire. It was with divine provenience and his faith in man to accept personal responsibility and rule his own destiny, that Washington led a rag-tag army against the most powerful military of the time and prevailed.

America’s greatest foe was Jimmy Carter before Obama came along.

Allah is Britains greatest foe ever. Allah is a fictitious distortion of the one true God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Muslims, throughout history, when it comes to open conflict--have consistently shown themselves to be cowardly and incompetent.
They will not...take over Britain.

Might have turned out different if Shaka Zulu had been born 40 years later.

"Allah is a fictitious distortion of the one true God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit."
Allah is an alias of Lucifer.
"Muslims, throughout history, when it comes to open conflict--have consistently shown themselves to be cowardly and incompetent."
How about deception? Geurilla tactics? Infiltration? Subversive tactics?
Additionally, I would just like to point out that western civilization has not demonstrated anything close to military competence since about the 1940's. What we have shown is that this country is full to the brim of and populated by -idiots- except for Ronald Reagan.
"They will not...take over Britain."
Perhaps their goal is not to take it over. Perhaps their goal is to use the systems of the country to grow their own strength within the country while exploiting every design flaw and the stupidity of every citizen in such a way to cause the country to simply collapse upon itself?
When you have a prince of your nemesis country thinking of converting to your cult, then you do not even have a nemesis country any longer, they don't even exist.

The world will never forget the year that General Washington sent his air force to bomb the British into submission. The colonists started off with the air fields and radar stations but before longed they switched to terror bombing of London and other cities. But the plucky Brits held out and within a few years Washington was hiding in his bunker in Philadelphia, as his former victims closed in for the kill.

The explaination was given by my Pastor just this past Sunday. The Muslims are cursed.
But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.

Nope. Human wave charges don't do much good against Gatling guns. The Zulu won at Isandlwana for the same reason the Sioux won at Little Bighorn. The Victorian army went for mobility over firepower. Once it got knocked into the Victorians that they had a real war on their hands they brought up the breach loading artillery, massed rifle fire and Gatling guns. No warrior, no matter how skilled or how brave is going to win against machine guns with spears and a handful of trade rifles. Just read up on the Battle of Ulundi if you have any doubt how it would go. Zulu's made repeated charges but none ever got within 30 yards of the British formation.

Their efficiency and tenacity puts all other Police forces to shame. More powerful than the TSA.

I DID do a search before posting, and I did another search today before notifying Kartographer. I found only 3 posts, and mine was the first. Did the one you find have a different title?
No blame, because it is an interesting article. But, I do wish that people will take the time to do a quick search before posting.
