True Friends And Faithful Choices
- "Most countries around the world would give their eye- teeth to have that relationship" - Tony Blair, July 8th, 2004, referring to Britain's friendship with America
Yesterday, Tony Blair addressed more concerns about a lack of WMD found in Iraq. He also talked about the importance of maintaining strong ties with the United States.
Now, I'm a bit biased as I am a graduate of the British Airborne School ('90), but would you rather fight along side of the Queen's Own Highlanders or the French 6th Light Armored (General Jannier commanded them during the Gulf War)?
Would you rather be friends with Tony Blair or Jaques Chirac?
It doesn't seem like you could be both or have both. Chirac wants control and Blair wants a partner.
Which would John Kerry choose?
[Blackfive note: the link above to the Queens Own is actually a link to David Terron's blog - The Cabarfeidh Pages (Highland Warriors) - David is a retired British Army soldier who served in the Queens Own Highlanders. Read some of his letters to the editor.]
