I don't need to defend the British troops, nor do I care to engage in every military discussion that gets started on the thread.

I do understand that the Telegraph is the preeminent conservative newspaper in Britain, and assume it reflects conservative thinking in Britain. It's willingness to print this tripe, in my opinion, exposes a vein of anti-Americanism, not even to mention that it is particularly low-class, and is something conservative American newspapers would not stoop to indulge.

I won't be chasing down all the other similar articles the Telegraph has printed. I'll see if I can find a couple of them for you.

WaterDragon..you live in a SEA of liberalism in the US. Any amount of liberal publications churning out tripe daily.

But you have ONE article in the Daily Telegraph up yer snot. (that's a turn of phrase).

The fact that you choose to have a vendetta about a permanently conservative newspaper, instead of taking on liberal rags on your own side of the Atlantic to task is indicative of a mendacious nature. I'm sorry, but I say it, as I see it!

"It's willingness to print this tripe, in my opinion, exposes a vein of anti-Americanism, not even to mention that it is particularly low-class, and is something conservative American newspapers would not stoop to indulge."

All very true and completely obvious to anyone who is not brain dead or a committed socialist. This article speaks volumes about British public opinion, considering that it was published in a putatively conservative newspaper.
