From the Daily Telegraph, 30 Nov. 2006:
" Britain's special relationship 'just a myth'
"Toby Harnden in Washington
"A senior American official has spoken of "the myth of the special relationship" between the United States and Britain, arguing that Tony Blair got "nothing, no payback" for supporting President George W Bush in Iraq.
"Bush and Blair at the G8 summit at St Petersburg when their private conversation was overheard
"Kendall Myers, a leading State Department adviser, suggested that Mr Blair should have been ditched by Labour but the party had lacked the "courage or audacity" to remove him.
"David Cameron, the Conservative leader, was "shrewd, astute" to have distanced himself from America.
"In candid comments that will embarrass Mr Bush and Mr Blair, the veteran official said America "ignored" Britain, and he urged Britain to decouple itself from the US. . . ."

Wow, you really have a problem with focusing your anger in the appropriate direction. Satanic? Hmmm...where is thegroundwork and evidence of you argument founded. It is fine if you do not agree with US policy or leadership --many do not...including myself, but Satanic?
Now you are just showing how the breadth and scope of moronic idiocy has engulfed your weakened mind...calling the US (or any other country or people) Satanic is like calling a guy you don't like at work a ****** --not that he is gay, but you just don't like hime so you'l call him bad names and that will show him, by golly.
This kind of mass association is the birhplace of every genocidal event ever known to man...the idea that a people are, because of race, religion or location, evil or sub-human. This kind of logic shows the mind of a trivial and shallow person.
I would really suggest you check into to some tharapy sessions and stop sitting around tipping pints and nuts with whatever backward secluded individuals with whom you associate...and I would go out, get a book, get some news papers, research information long before you decide to open your mouth again and dazzle the world with the reaking stench of your dilapidated road-kill intellect.
Oh yes, I can call you ignorant in very many colorful ways because your question is proof you are feeble-minded and a dullard...you do a diservice to the people who claim you as a countryman.
Have a bright and chipper day.

As an American, the British populus are special beacuse they don't bend over to kiss French and German backsides like the rest of the continent. The Brisitsh people are strong and independant.
By the way, the French cowtow to Muslim extremists is Paris, and see where that lead to. Certain people need a good kick in the rear before they get too big for their britches. If that makes me a Satan because I won't convert to Islam's BS, then so be it. ALLALLALLAA! that you heathens!

Have you stopped to consider that if it wasnt for tony blair reigning in bush straight after 9/11 what the rampage would have been like?
for starters its well documented that blair had to actually persuade bush to go to afghanistan before Iraq.
And as for the special relationship it has served Britain very well for many years financially and security wise. We get the best of both worlds trade with europe an trade with america that other european countries just dont get.
Tony's job is to protect britians interests and serve the people which is actually what he has done. B i t c h or no B i t c h he has done his job

Its time for a new party that will stand up for British interests that includes withdrawal from the corrupt EU . We have more in common with our American cousins but that doesn't mean I'm a huge Bush fan though i believe new leadership is needed here and the US but Dave Cameron is a Metropolitan liberal who's wrecking he's own party and the Democrats in America are the same don't represent the Majority. Shame about the juvenile abuse a loony lefty i presume.

When will people like you start to realize how the world works? Would you rather our Prime Minster act like the French - banging on about how wrong it is to go to war - then selling their armaments to every tin-pot regime with the money to buy - have you forgotten what happened in the Falklands campaign?
When the stakes are high tough decisions have to be made. Remember also that the only thing that is necessary for evil to flourish ...is for good men to do nothing!

What is your question? You seem to be spewing a lot of delusional brain ooze; a symptom of one under much stress. My suggestion: Take a length of hose, stick one end in the exhaust pipe of your vehicle and the other end through the driver's side window and close the window but not enough to stop flow in the hose. Get in the car and turn on the ignition and then just wait......................all your problems will soon be solved. So will one big problem for all of those unfortunate enough to know you.

No, a lot of people work closely with the States. Actually, just as well, because the real evil in this world is Extremist Islam which wants to blow us all back to the Stone Age.
So I am quite happy to be part of the 'Satan' group if it means that I can push back maniacs like you

Great metaphor useage. But i think your question would have been more well received if you had written something a little less charged. For instance: "Does the Uk pander to Bush and the US too much?"
Just friendly advice from your satanic friend in the US.
