| #22 SR-71, for a foreign-owned company to work in the US defense industry, they must set up firewalls insulating the company from foreign influence. Usually this is an independent board of directors and information from the company back to the owners is restricted to financial information only. You would be amazed how many of our defense companies are owned by French, British, Canadian, and Israeli corporations. |

| #21 @ #15 I wonder how much of the US defense industry is controlled by BAE Systems. The next four years will be difficult for the US, too. A choice between the Dhems and McCain is no choice at all. |

| #20 With the dems deciding funding for universal healthcare and unchecked illegal immigration, wouldn't defense and security be the first to go? |

| #19 Unfortunately, in the US, anchor babies are citizens, because the Constitution says so. However, nothing in the Constitution says the parents can't be deported if they are illegal. It is the liberals who cry that you can't break up a family. My response is, that they are free to take their little citizen back to Mexico with them. |

| #18 absolutely right Danielle, but I am sure our lawmakers will try to find a way to get *us* to pay for both pipe dreams... |

| #17 Deporting the entire family, anchor baby included, is the solution. Some leave their dependent children behind and cry "unfair" but the state cannot be responsible for children of illegals when we can't take care of the legitimate needs of our own citizens with this huge deficit. Those candidates that want health care had better define their policies on illegal immigration as we can't have both. |

| #16 #11 "Gods of the Copybook Headings" would be alot more appropriate in the context. |

| #15 It is time to start considering how we can secure the nuclear weapons and advanced air, sea and land systems in Britain. It is clear that they are one or at the most two decades away from being a muslim nation with sharia law and a foreign policy that is dangerous to the US. For NATO, and the special relationship, to steal a line from Churchill, this isn't the end, it isn't even the beginning of the end, but it is the end of the beginning! |

| #14 Perhaps one of RB's British readers can enlighten me. What the heck happened to the Tories? With Labour in charge and multi-culti political correctness run rampant, I'd expect the Tories to use this to gain political advantage. Yet, I've not heard a peep from them. What happened to an 'opposition' party? Or is the 'multi-culti' thing actually supported by the general public? |

| #13 Woozle - I was wondering the same thing last night. Then this morning I see from the comments to the Telegraph (bottom page of article) the Brits feel the same way I do on this. Somehow that's comforting to me. |

| #12 The rapidity of total surrender is amazing. Just like the Dutch. Is that already beginning in Canada ? Can it happen here ? |

| #11 The value of my Kipling collection just went up. I knew it, I just knew it. Thanks to you I can quote: There's a widow in sleepy Chester Who weeps for her only son; There's a grave on the Pabeng River, A grave that the Burmans shun; And there's Subadar Prag Tewarri Who tells how the work was done. |

| #10 At the rate that Britons are expatriating from the UK, there wont be anybody left to sign the welfare checks before long. |

| #9 Soon, welfare will include explosives and scimitars so the "immigrants" can teach us all manners... |

| #8 Two wrongs don't make a right. So what does an endless, unremitting series of wrongs make? In the UK, and eventually in the US, we're about to find out... |

| #7 Expect howls of "discrimination" from UK's gay majority. |

| #5 Taken together with "UK state schools barred from admitting middle class kids" a woeful picture of England is painted. This is no longer a country we can count on as an ally in the WOT, and not just for their pitiable performance in the British sailor hostage situation with Iran or their lack of support for missions in Afghanistan and Iraq. In a fundamental way they are lost to themselves and their once proud identity. Requiescat in pace, Great Britain. |

| #4 "This sets a precedent that will lead to more demands for the culture of other countries to be reflected in UK law and the benefits system." The Brits are masters at understatement. |

| #3 Our own government's blind eye regarding Mexican "anchor babies" compliments this new UK ruling nicely. |
