Thread Name: BS: What is America Doing?
Subject: RE: BS: What is America Doing?
I have a solution to the question why the Americans used Prestwick.
It is simple really - the bombs are transported by a firm called Atlas who have a hub at Prestwick. Presumably it never occurred to them that people would protest!!
They now go via Mildenhall Suffolk.
The BBC correspondent Bob Simpson died recently. When he was in Bagdad at the start of the first Gulf War his father sent him a telegram reading "Congratulations on being bombed by the Americans. It happened to me three times during WWII".
