Fidel Posted July 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 I hope you don't wear it with a white shirt. Brown's black/navy jacket/white shirt/pale blue tie combo makes him look damned pale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flashermac Posted July 30, 2007 Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 What's an Atlanticist? Someone from Atlantis??? << Tony Blair enjoyed a close relationship with Mr Bush but there has been speculation that Mr Brown wants to keep his distance from the president. >> That would make sense, since Bush's popularity right now is about the same level as Herpes and Bush will be history in another 17 months.

Steve Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 Brown just has to wait out the president. The relationship will always be there no matter who is at 10 Downing or 1600 Pennsylvania avenue. I saw an interview with Major several years ago and he was discussing the 'special relationship' and said he's always heard of it running deep but didn't realize until he saw it first hand. He said the U.S. was sharing things that had he been the U.S. representative he'd have considered state secret. The top man changes but the bureaucracy and high command of both governments and militaries know each other very very well on a personal basis and they are there no matter who is in charge at the top. They are career bureaucrats and military men. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckwoww Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 I think you're right CS. The special relationship will survive in spite of the current administration. I thought Brown came off looking pretty good. He looked like a solid leader alongside the spoilt smirking frat boy with his silly little jokes.
