Long live the British-U.S. alliance...the most powerful alliance, and friendship, in the history of the planet.

Truly a "special relationship". Thanks for your thoughts,

ex warring nations but now best alliance the world has ever seen

@pesticidepopsicle Well said.

@adamswampy Obama is living in his own disconnected world. Other nations don't buy into his rhetoric at all, and our nation is losing respect because of his actions. Britain and the U.S. share a special relationship, cooperating and coordinating on an extremely deep level. That will never change.

@adamswampy: Yes but that was after Adams had signalled that he wanted to launch a peace process..He wasnt allowed in earlier.. He was only allowed in the first time, in 94 for 72 hours if i remember correctly.. After that the IRA called a ceasefire, and then he was giving the big welcome, which was in Britains interests..

I think the effectiveness of the irish-american lobby and the general feelings that Irish-americans have towards nationalism/republicanism is blown out of proportion..

[adamswampy]

@pesticidepopsicle - no longer apparently. According to Saint Obama, America has no closer friend than ...............FRANCE!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!(White House meeting with Sarkozy, 11th January 2011,) HAHAHAHAHAHA! Good luck next time you decide to invade someone!

[adamswampy]

@risteardsean - nope... Bill Clinton invited Gerry Adams(an IRA terrorist leader ) to meet him at the White House directly in contravention of the wishes of the British government. Mrs Thatcher compared it to a British Prime Minister inviting the Oklahoma bomber to No.10 Downing Street for dinner. The British government protested in the strongest terms. The U.S. government, looking to the "Irish"- American vote no doubt, totally ignored them and gave Gerry boy a big back slapping welcome.

Who would of though in 1776 one day the queen of england will be in america as the greatest allies

[risteardsean]

ADAMSWAMPY: the thing that pisses me off is that even though the US fought to free itself from britain when ireland tries to free itself from britain, even since 1969 which isnt ancient history, you idiot, america supports britain

[risteardsean]

@adamswampy: Yes but the point that im getting at.. The US always supports British policy in Ireland..

[adamswampy]

@risteardsean . What are you rambling on about? That's ancient history. Most of the world, including the U.K., the U.S. and yes, even Ireland, has moved on. Do yourself a favour and do the same. You just sound bitter, twisted and not a little pathetic.
