The administration should be concerned that this long, slow buildup to the Iraq campaign feeds into a perception that this is all there is to this war. It isn't, and there's a lot that's been shoved to the back burner that's going to need attention once Saddam's been finished off. The danger is that the pressure on Bush to back off from further measures - against N. Korea, Iran, etc. - will intensify, not diminish.

Just for the record Ivan, the Brits are already here.
The Holston Army Ammunition Plant here in Tennessee, manufacturer of almost all military high explosives is operated under contract for the US Army by the British firm BAE Systems. A mind block prevents me from translating "BAE"

Air Marshal Brian Burridge, asked how he had come by the injury, replied: "Kicking a journalist." Now that is a real Kick-Ass Ossifer.

And we Americans will not forget you guys and your PM who has weathered the storm, even from his own Party.

There was no mistaking the glint of enthusiasm in their eyes at the chance of taking part in a full operation after so many years of training and preparation. My nephew's over there now and he was kind of looking forward to it. I hope he's side by side with them as we go in.

Royal Marines have trained with their US counterparts many times but this time members of US 15 Marine Expeditionary Unit will be under British command, the first time in living memory.This is the greatest compliment Rummy could give. If the British people don't understand the enormous trust we put in the Brits, their military WILL.
To: McGavin999
Indeed. Elegant and significant - and a subtle one lost on most of the media, unfortunately.
To: MadIvan
The Brits are great guys and great soldiers," he said, before pointing towards the desert and adding: "We do not want to be alone out here." We here in the States are also mighty glad you're with us.
And, we pray "safe home" for our British friends, too.

It was a fight in the family. Like most of those, its forgotten when it's time to kick the s**t out of somebody else's family (especially if that family is French).

because rough men stand ready... Pardon the ignorance, but what are "rough men"? Is that a nickname for British soldiers, like 'grunt' or 'jarhead' for Americans?
To: MadIvan
The Brits are outstanding soldiers. I served with some of them in Europe and they regretted not being in Nam with us. The Aussies are also very, very good. We had "cooperation" with their version of our LRRPs. They didn't say much, were very mission oriented and absolutely dependable. We need'em, God Bless.
