Britain now presents a greater security threat to the United States..

[jumpy]

...than Iran or Iraq, an American magazine said yesterday.

:rotfl:

the following is lifted from another fora where it cought my attention:

The following is an extract from a US publication:

Based on previous US foreign policy we could expect an invasion within months if not weeks.

Now as I see it this might not be all bad, could have some advatages for us.

Muslim extemism would be curbed and the trouble makers sent to Guantano.

After invading they would be putting loadsa money in to rebuild the country.

Because of the Terrorist links across the EU the US would force us to with draw from it.

They would reorganise out government and put a constitution in place. We could ask for our old one back as it served us well until Parliament reduced it's power.

We would get the right back to have pistols and be able to defend ourselves.

Our leaders would be put on trial for their crimes against the people.

We could look forward to criminals getting sentenced to 99 years in jail with no parole.

As a hot bed of extremisim and terrorists the number of US tourists would decline.

As a protectorate of the US we could get the lower prices the US gets instead of being ripped off for cars etc.

The article on it is at:

Alright, so I've stretched the theme a bit, journalistic licence!

Of all the 'current affairs' topics (ranting etc) from the last several months this one made me frown a little at first then laugh out loud; UK "a hornet's nest of Islamic extremists" oh dear oh dear.

another plot, or a "successful" attack by British Muslims on an American target, would be likely to spur an immediate response.

AAAAGK!

If you chaps invade our Sceptered Isle does this mean we get cheaper petrol and s'mores? :hmm:

Sounds theoretically possible to me.

[tycho102]

Look, if we invade, the first thing we'd do is ship Chuck right the heck off to some remote Samoa island. Hire some Mustang Ranch girls to help him cool his pants.

Then we'd arm your bloody police. With tazers, rifles, and backup 10mm's. Police by consent, but if the bloke don't consent, then you police him right the hell down to the hospital. Change the laws if you don't like 'em.

Then we'd have "Questions for the Prime Minister" required watching for 6th graders (~12 years old) and up.

Directly following the "social studies" with QPM, we'd have everyone heading to Physical Education class, where they'd be learning Judo and Happkido just in case they're ever Prime Minister and have to deal with your flippin' Parliment. Jesus wept.

After that, all those old coots yelling TALLY-HO! when they cut the dogs loose on the fox, would get sent right the hell down to Iraq. That'll give them a right quick education on how that fox views their little sport.

There's others. That's just some of the stuff that quickly comes to mind.

As for your moslems, we'd shut down that Chunnel and stem the flow from France, first thing. Then we'd see about importing y'all some Mexicans, instead. They're really hard workers, and they're not all that interested in bombing planes out of the air. However, you will have to increase your pepper and chilli imports. You can probably offset that with wool production because they will be chilled to the bones in your climate.

And in The Times 10 million Brits want to leave the U.K.!!! The reason TAX, and I am one of those 10 million.

[Kapitan]

One hallowed British institution we Yanks will make every effort to keep dear is the 'Page Three Girl.' As a matter of fact I think both the New York Times and the Washington Post should adopt this institution right away. The Wall Street Journal too.
