I never add the UK to anything that I term as EU for a number of reasons that I won't go into in this thread. My g-mother is from the UK, and I'm a huge fan of Britian period. They are America's #1 ally, and I'd go to war and fight for the UK any day of the week. But considering you are an American, I fail to see why you are so offended? It seems as though every time I post anything, you take "umbrage" with whatever I say, so I'd be lying if I said I wasn't surprised at your response. No matter what I post, you only comment on the things that you disagree with... sorry if you have some personal vendetta against me, but that's just something your going to have to work on yourself. I think it's rather immature of you, but I suppose that is your right, so be my guest. |
I find it mildly pretentious that you think I have some vendetta against you-I do not have one-and also slightly distracting. Anyway, back to the current topic. I am offended because it is spurious and denigratory to say the Europeans "turned tail and run." Even if I entertain your notion that the UK is indeed not European, I would still characterize your statement that way. Romania and Estonia still have forces in Iraq. Bulgaria, Poland, and the Czech Republic had forces in Iraq until the 2nd half of 2008. I could continue, but it should be abundantly clear that the Europeans did not "cut tail and run."
