Our British cousins should keep this in mind.....
We have the open space and resources because we kicked your ass twice. Those same resources and people from "the middle of nowhere" saved your ass twice in the 20th century.
The Brits are sounding like a bunch of Frenchies on this one.
Uh, the Salt Lake City Valley is pretty full of people. Not too many muzzies, but still not really too much different from running a big event in London.
“Of course it’s easier if you hold an Olympic Games in the middle of nowhere.”
By “middle of nowhere”, I will assume you meant where there aren’t any Muslims living in huge numbers with designs on turning your town into Pakistan on the North Sea.
And also SLC took place only a few months after 9-11, you brit-t*at. So yes it was a bit harder to hold that Olympics than most.
p.s. You already had one muzzie attack a torch-bearer, so you need to try harder.
Duh, maybe what Romney said was true?
PM Cameron is busy surrendering his country to the invading Moslem horde.
Why should anything he says be considered credible?
One thing Churchill and Thatcher had in common, plenty of Tory politicians hated their guts.
Have you noticed when Bachmann (about Muslim Brotherhood) and Romney speak the truth it considered a gaffe?
Yawn.
Any Republican candidate has to deal with the opposition making mountains out of molehills.
And London hosted an Olympics when the country was still ravaged by six years of war, the country was near-broke, and the British people still had rationing.
Whats your point?.
96% of the UK is NOT muslim.
As Flavor Flav might say, dont believe the hype.

Comparing a Winter Olympics to a Summer Olympics is comparing Apples to Oranges. Winter Olympics typically are held “in the middle of nowwhere”, and are on a much smaller scale than the Summer Games. The security challenges are nowhere near what a Summer Games faces.
When you are a guest, show respect to your host and keep your mouth shut. If a British PM or politician said what he said, on US soil, you’d be quite right to attack him for lack of respect.
“96% of the UK is NOT muslim.”
So?
Last time I checked, the UK doesn’t seem to know that.
If Obama did the same thing, every single Freeper would have jumped on Obama for it.
I think Cameron’s comments refer to the geographical ‘easiness’ of hosting an Olympics in more open country, as opposed to a huge city like London, which is geographically in a more packed area.
IMO his comments werent a dig at the 2002 games being in some sort of ‘backwater’.
