No 'special relationship' between Britain and US: MPs
"'The UK must continue to position itself closely alongside the US but there is a need to be less deferential and more willing to say no where our interests diverge,' the committee chairman, Labour's Mike Gapes, said, summing up the report.
He added that the phrase 'special relationship' -- first coined by Winston Churchill in 1946, the year after World War II -- was 'potentially misleading, and we recommend that its use should be avoided'."
The world will truly love us when Obama is president....right?
