> Washington came close to scuppering our recapture of the Falklands in 1982.

We provided scads of logistical and intelligence support. Plenty of stories attesting to this over the years.

"Washington came close to scuppering our recapture of the Falklands in 1982."

Ok Hitchens, then this would also be true:

Washington came close to scuppering our victory over Germany in 1918.

Washington came close to scuppering our victory over Germany in 1945.

And speaking of scuppering, what in the hell were British merchant ships doing in Haiphong while American and allied forces were being killed? Ya bitch!

Despite the fact that British ships were clogging up Haiphong Harbor trading with N Vietnam while we were at war

You’re right about what Reagan did in the end, but there were friends of Argentina’s military goverment in our government, too.

Jeanne Kirkpatrick, the US UN Ambassador at the time, is ctied as one.
