He did say "what I think the United States is going to do", and he's a lame duck president anyway, so he has limited relevance to this debate as it is. As you know, I don't have strong feelings either side of this argument, and I don't see his 'intervention' as anything remarkable really.I agree (and indeed made the same point last week), but his "back of the line" remark wasn't merely opinion; it was a statement that clashed horribly with the insincere, perfunctory guff he spouted in the same speech about the "special relationship", and one which could certainly be construed as a threat. You cool with that?
On the other hand, Boris's "half-Kenyan" comments were actually deranged. He wrote it with the caveat that "some said..." (ie not him) but still pretty mad to make it a part of his argument.
