It's getting hard for me to keep all these sock puppet Obama aliases straight..........
Maybe this had something to do with it:
Or maybe it was intended as a snub of Sarkozy, who forgot to invite the Queen of England to Normandy for the commemoration.Six hours before the first boats hit the beaches on D-Day, a stealth force of 181 men from the Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry glided in to capture Pegasus and Horsa bridges over the Caen canal and river Orne – preventing the Germans from sending reinforcements to repel the Allies.
The bridges were code-named after the winged horse that was the insignia of the Sixth Airborne Division – of which the Ox and Bucks were part – and the name of the giant gliders in which they came.
The men, led by Major John Howard, performed a textbook operation with the first plane landing just after midnight, 50ft from Pegasus Bridge.
Six hundred Paras were then parachuted in to hold the position and protect the nearby village of Ranville, the first in France to be liberated at 2.30am.
Which is more plausible to you, Fake Barry?
What an important political story!
Really, this was no kind of snub. This was, if anything, an example of poor scheduling. But mostly, it was nothing.
