Are the majority of American people fully aware that, during the recent killing of a top Taliband leader, that it was BRITISH intelligence that led US aircraft operation to be mounted?
Did we get a mention in any of the yahoo Q&A's or in the yahoo stateside political and military chat rooms? I think not !..
.. mind you, IF I am wrong, I'm sure you'll let me know !

We need to tell the USA to go take a walk. Our own PM should be a Man and tell the USA, what we in the U.K think not what he thinks.... The War on Terrorism was instigsted by the USA.
The USA have "NO HONOUR" and think of no-one but the USA and anyone that gets in its way can look out...... The USA as shown over the years it as no Honour.
Pound-Arm informs us we are fighting the same war..... Pound-Arm you have to be Joking..... as for the views of Netnaziv..... Get real british Operatives ( 22sq 21sq & SBS and other Intel Units have been put at risk from day one by the Good Old USA..... who may one day want to make a film about how it did all on its own lol lol what a joke.... Better Still the USA is becomming a Joke.... and the Joke of the Day is in your White House....
The USA have given Money to Terrorism for YEARS Money that was used to get Guns to KIll our Troops.... so why should our Troops come home in body bags.... we have already had to many Troops in body bags because of the USA before 2001....... Maybe this is just one more way where again the USA kill our troops without having to hold the Gun in its own hands... just pay for the Gun.... Yet again

And your point is............? You sound like Ole General Montgomery and his ongoing squabble with George Patton about who will get credit for what.
Kudos to British intelligence for their input and assistance in getting rid of the islamic trash in Afghanistan.
Many Americans realize the effectiveness of British intelligence. We saw it's effect during WWII, and the American intelligence community learned a great deal from the Brits. We in the US don' under estimate British intelligence and we do appreciate your loyalty and friendship.
We too see the fierce competition amongst groups, whether it be military, intelligence, medicine, science, and the under handedness that plays out to be number one. It really discredits the players when you see cheating going on, at those levels, just to be able to claim the brass ring.

Are Americans aware that British Spec Ops were on ground in Afghanistan the day of 9/1/1 here in states?
Is anyone aware that the UN madate did nto specify US occupying Afghnaistan and that it is the Europeans who will gain the most by this occupaiton?
Aware of being unaware is what we need and the curiosity to become aware of just what is realy ongoing in world.
The death of a man, a Taliban, who was not a Taliban but a Pashtun and amember of Afghnsitans majority populace, is some big deal if one is keeping War as a scorecard for how many are killed, bad guys versus good guys.
In first world war a Poet noted the facination of americans at one post office for that war. On the posrt office wall was a mapo of europe with little colored pins on it and as a news dispatch came in a pin would move froward or backward. Differnt colors for every natinal army. People would cher or moan as a pin moved, fixated on the pins but, "NO ONE STOPPED TO REMEMBER THAT EACH TIME A PIN MOVED MEANT MEN WERE DYING!
So is the death of a man and who killed him just another pin moving with a cheering secton thousands of mioles away a good or bad thing.

Don't know about the majority, but I was aware. The British are valuable allies, and I am glad we share information so well. It helps us defeat our common enemies.

British MI5 and MI6 are among the very best intelligence-gathering units in the world. We Americans know that, and we have patterned much of our CIA and NSA after British and Israeli intelligence. Your methods are the methods we use. So we know it; and we are very, VERY grateful.

I worked with many british soldiers in iraq. I like them, some of them i still speak with. I don't care where the information came from, but i would hope that everyone knows just how much british soldiers have sacrificed along with us, they deserve your thanks as well.
