"Now it's all gone."

Perhaps this Argentinian saber rattling is the best thing that could happen to the Brits. It might give them the political will to finish these two new aircraft carriers and build their fleet and Royal Marines back up to respectability. Historically, they've never had a huge army, but they have always had a powerful Navy. It's a shame how they have let a once great naval armada deteriorate.

I doubt that “Great” (sic) Britain any longer has the will or the purse to fight for the Falklands.

My feeling is that they're spending waaay too much on keeping the islamic hordes in Britain entertained - nothing left over for defense. No defense within, no defense without. GB = Good Bye.
