Star Spangled Banner played at Buckingham Palace- Sept 13, 2001
2021-09-11
[YouTube] This is a short video of the Coldstream Guards playing our national anthem outside Buckingham Palace, at the request of the Queen, which still chokes me up. The UK then proceeded to lose 457 men and women fighting alongside us for 20 years. Regrettably, the current administration did not see fit to include Her Majesty's Government in the withdrawal planning, and when her Majesty's Prime Minister personally called POTUS to request an extension of the arbitrary August 31 deadline, he was essentially told to get stuffed. And this is an administration that says diplomacy is at the center of our foreign policy.

#3  By "diplomacy" Team Biden means appeasing China, Russia, and Iran while lining their own pockets. Our national motto -- currently "In God We Trust" -- should be "10% For the Big Guy", since God and trust no longer have a place.

Famously, the Queen's first prime minister was Winston Bloody Churchill. Churchill certainly presided over his share of military disasters -- Fall of Singapore etc.-- but I suspect he would have had very special words for the Biden Bugout.
