They need to replace those imposters with the rightful heirs, the House of Wittelsbach.
Always great to hear from an inbred unemployable with a 2 digit IQ. Even Fergie figured out he was a schlub.
I propose a new rule: stories about Randy Andy should require pictures of Koo Stark.
The Queen should give the Prince an enforced two-week time-out selling barbequed pork sandwiches in one of the "no-enter" zones in his country where both Brits and angels fear to tread.
Maybe he'll appreciate a little more what we're doing in the ME to contain the terrorists to that part of the world.
Did I read a little subtle nasty in the last line of the above article? Is Andrew slyly suggesting we should look to the history of England's colonialism for tips on how to run the colonialism being perpetrated by the U.S.?

Dear Liz,
Kindly housebreak and muzzle your Pit Yorkie.
Thanks bags,
America
Besides, we all know the U.K. is on a steep downward slide into insignificance as it slowly but surely becomes a totally socialist welfare-state operating under heavy Muslim influence that pushes the supine government around on a daily basis. England is pretty much a hopeless case at this point and what the socialist Democrats like Obama and Hillary envision for the U.S.
Some hardly-known British 'royal' (gimme a break) and his dumb comments are hardly going to have much influence, except to put a spotlight on his country's massive failures and it's pathetic obsequious toward Muslims who intend to dominate the British culture before long.
It’s enough to make one’s soul pine for Oliver Cromwell.
Yes, the Middle East is a model of Britain’s colonial past. So I guess the Duke is right on how *not* to do it.
I will respect the UK again when they elect a black King.
?????
Geeee!
What could we learn from the Brits other than how to lose wars and countries.....like they did with the U.S.?
Are American taxpayers gonna be on the hook for this twit's security?
From the link...
Nile Gardiner, of the Heritage Foundation think-tank, said: "His remarks will only undermine the image of the Royal Family in America.
Snort. It can't get any lower as far as I'm concerned.
“There were some other European soldiers who got in a lot of trouble about 60 years ago for ‘following orders’.”
Don’t pull that nazi equivalency crap with me. The Einsatzgruppen and the SS were hardly considered soldiers. The Wehrmacht were, though, and they did not engage in the slaughter of innocents like the EG and SS did (the EG were the murder squads that followed the Wehrmacht into the East; the EG were NOT part of the Wehrmacht, and German generals were very clear that they didn’t want the EG anywhere near the Army. The SS ran the camps, and, again, the Wehrmacht had nothing but contempt for them. Sure there were some Wehrmacht atrocities, just like there are always atrocities; but they are isolated and bring shame and disgust on the regular troops.
If you want to point out an army that routinely practiced atrocities than point to the Japanese in WWII. The German Army was nowhere near as depraved as the Japanese.
“Listen and learn from our experiences”. We did, that’s why we got rid of you and your German ancestors.

HA! Yes, doesn’t the gene that causes madness run in his genes?
My late husband was a British officer. You never met a tougher wee jock bastard. He did two tours in Basrah, and then went off to Afghanistan. Before that he was in other places, always where there was fighting, and had the scars to show for it.
When his men ran half-marathons in the desert heat, he ran with them... AND HE FINISHED. He wasn't the last one over the finish line either. He went through the forces' toughest training. (From this you may be able to guess what his regiment was.)
He missed every important occasion in our lives, from the kids' graduations, to Christmases, to anniversaries. The only reason he was at our wedding was because he had to be.
I would trade a decade of my life if it meant that I could spend one more year with him. He was the best of men, and we are proud of him. He was proud of the forces.
Too bad that you weren't paying attention when your American schools were teaching you percentages. The Muslim population of the UK totals approximately 1.6 million, about 2.8%. That hardly constitutes their taking us over. British Freepers repeatedly point out the true statistics, but I always see a number of people posting who prefer to hang on to their delusion. It must make some people feel good to be wrong.
Wars are like that. Your enemy always gets a 'vote'. The idea is to be flexible in pursuit of your strategy so as to keep the opponent off-balance. Even when something is working (like The Surge) you have to be ready to shift tactics as soon as circumstances dictate. The side that wins is not mistake free; they just make the fewer critical mistakes.
It's also typical that you fire the generals in charge at the outset while searching for your new strategy. Patton wouldn't have got the opportunity in North Africa if Lloyd Fredendall hadn't made a mess of things at Kasserine Pass. McClellan gives way to a series of generals before Lincoln finds Grant.
Unless, of course, you can show him how you can bring in the Midwest and Mountain states.
