Sure Donal,

Peace in our time was said just after Adofl went into Austria and before
England went to War.

U.S. went to war 12/7/41

Now,Donal, Maybe you would like to give the group a list of the Battles
that the Brits won in that time?

The Battle of Britian comes to mind. If the British had lost, then the
outcome of the American war with Japan could have turned out very
differently.




Your refernce was a Joke? At whose expense?

The Californian electorate.

Donal,

The "Battle of Britain" was a very glorious defence battle! England took
one hell of a beating and kept on Ticking but it was a defensive action.
El Al in North Africa was also a great defensive victory. I had in mind
offensive actions against the Axis powers by the British from the time
of "Peace in our Time" until 12/7/41.

You must remember that England and France declared war on Germany. That
was when Poland was invaded and went on the defense until the USA
invaded Casablanca.

Now, Donal, I've just responded to comments about the election of an
Austrian being elected Gov. of Calif. and the comment by a American
Baiter's comparison to Adolf. I just wanted to remind him of his own
history of the Hitler years. It seems that the baiters don't like to be
reminded of their own history in the same kind of comments they make

I, myself, think Arnold just might be the right man at the right time
for Calif.

I'm not a Californian but what better a Legal immigrant to set rules
for a State overloaded with illegals. What better a Conservative to make
the owners of those Corp Farms that hire the illegals then turn them
over to the State Welfare System to straighten out the abuse;

But whom the hell am I?

I'm an American who believe we won the war for the Europeans, won the
war in the Pacific for the people that were colonies of the European
Countries that were deserted by their homelands, an American taxpayer
who helped refianced the world thru the Marshall plan and Truman
Doctrine, a follower GWB, who didn't vote for him but is my President (
Just for another year, I hope!)

AND; "I'LL DRINK TO THAT!" and get off this damned soap box!!

What's the difference between a defensive and an offensive battle?

England didn't take one hell of a beating, they defeated the Germans in the
battle for air supremacy.

Are you suggesting that there was something for the British to be ashamed
of?

The political cartoonists are having a field day all over the world


I'm an American who believe we won the war for the Europeans,

So you think that the Russians didn't need to bother losing 10 (or was it
20?) million soldiers in their battles against Hitler??


won the
war in the Pacific for the people that were colonies of the European
Countries that were deserted by their homelands, an American taxpayer
who helped refianced the world thru the Marshall plan and Truman

Do you still believe that GWB told the truth, the whole truth, and nothing
but the truth about Iraq?

Know what, Donal,

He was handed that lie from British Intelligence (?)

No. I never believed he would go to war. He was winning just about
everything he wanted by influence in the Security Council

I'm not talking about Russia. They were fighters. They were also SMART
enough to move their production capacity out of range of the German
Bomberrs.

Even Stalin told Churchill that the "Germans can be beat, all you have
to do is fight them."

OT
P/S Only a Limey would ask the difference between a Defensive Battle and
a Offensive Battle!!!

Donal,

"Are you suggesting that there was something for the British to be
ashamed of?"

What in the world would make you ask a question like that?

This:-

"I just wanted to remind him of his own

That sounde like you think that there was something that British people
would like to forget about.

Donal,

I'm sure there are more than the British that would like to forget the
"Hitler years" including the Germans

However, I do not see a damn thing to be proud of your country's action
at the time of the statement, "Peace in Our Time" For a people that
accepted that BS and then have the balls to laugh at the selection of
other's in a free vote, I really do thing should be reminded of their
own stupid mentality! You acted just as I knew you would :^) If you had
acted like the Calif electorate it wouldn't have turned into this troll.
I just wanted to, once again, point out, how the European mentality can
mock other but can't stand to be mocked themselves.

So; UP YOURS, Donal G

And; "I'll Drink To That!'

I see what you mean.

However, I suspect that Britons had little choice at the time. The armed
forces had been underfunded for many years ( same as now).

C'mon. You don't really think that Arnold is the best choice for Ca.
Govenor, do you?

Thom, I really think that YOU mocked, and not I.

Europeans fought, and died in great numbers, in the war against Hitler.
America did help. You opinion that Europe did nothing to defend itself is
disrespectful to the millions of Europeans who died before America entered
the war.


That doesn't mean that Europe is ungrateful - Far from it! However, you
should admit that America followed a very isolationist policy until Pearl
Harbour was attacked.




So; UP YOURS, Donal G

heh heh. Sadly, I don't think that we will ever have a drink together,
but we would have really enjoyed it!


And; "I'll Drink To That!'

So will I!

Donal,

The battle of Britain was more than a victory of Air power. It stopped
the German operation " Sea Lion" from ever getting started.
