OK, I can understand the guys from the US, but people from the UK supporting *? Maybe these guys are Tories.

1. I think their "ratio" of crazy people is about the same as here
two out of ten have their noses jammed so far up the shrub's butt they can count the hairs on his tonsils . . .

Plus, it's a marker of their kind that they require "talking points", being unable to formulate or hold an opinion of their own.

4. It's always the in-laws isn't it?
Dinner at their house has become so awkward since last summer. Not even sure why I go over there.

3. I didn't read all the comments
but felt the gist of them was that most praised bush for trying to reach out but don't think he has gained enough trust for anything to come of it.

5. We have our share of idiots in the UK
but some of your freepers are sophisticated enough (yes, I know that's not a combination of words you'll see very often) to pose as British in such a forum. They know that the lack of international support for the chimp doesn't look good. There's also the British right's knee-jerk hatred of the EU to consider, which leads many of them to align with the US simply because it's not the EU.

6. America doesn't have a monopoly on idiocy
we have it in Europe too!

Why we even have press freedom, which is why this moron from Texas can tell the BBC:

"He is the only honest man (though some may say misguided) who truly wants freedom and rule of law to spread into the darkest realms of this world."
