Best to remember that this is the Guardian- a paper that has even LESS credibility than the NYT and THAT is saying something.
I do not believe that this paper speaks for the majority over there.
But just to address a point or two...
My guess is that the military over there has been told not to travel IN UNIFORM (something not mentioned in the article). They were so ordered after 9-11 here as well, and they are discouraged from traveling in uniform in Germany all the time.
I have NEVER heard London referred to "Londonstan" until reading this article. I wonder how long the writer took to think this one up?
I, like probably a million others, sent a letter expressing sorrow and empathy for their losses. We know what it's like to have a bunch of sub-human savages attack for no reason.
The writer claims that UBL is hiding in a cave in a "friendly nation"? By all means, let's give HIM a few bucks and HE can go get him, if he knows so much.
Just don't forget folks- THIS is the Brits' version of MoveOn.org...
As to the comet- I have one question for this twit...Don't you wish YOU had the technology? and doesn't it just kill you to have to depend on US to drag you into the 21st century...?
oops..sorry- Daily mirror...not a whole lot of difference between this and the Guardian. This is the one with the half-naked pics on page 8, right? I guess they have to have something to get people to buy it.
