I cannot think of any one fact which more clearly shows the speed and depth of our national decline than the news that when our Navy catches pirates, we give them nicotine patches and let them go.

Rules for submitting comments:
1. No profanity. I maintain the pretense that this is a family-friendly site.
2. Stay on topic. A bit of straying and off-hand commenting is okay, but hijacking the discussion is right out.
3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.
4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.
Tip: Beware of putting hyperlinks in your comments–especially at the end. For some reason, Blogger interprets these as spam.
Note: Due to the recent spate of anonymous spamming, registration for comments is now required.
Blair, Brown, Cameron. Wash, Rinse, and Repeat.
ReplyDeleteOf the three, at least Blair had the balls to actually go to war when needed after 9/11. Or maybe he wasn't up to explaining the necessity for surrender to the Queen, and the Armed Forces.
As for Cameron, the term "gutless trimmer" comes to mind.
Re the pirates, I'm sure the RN would prefer to give them the same treatment William Kidd and Jack Rackham got. Let alone Bartholomew Roberts and Edward Teach.
It's no more than they deserve.
