Iraq Reviews > Dr Nile Gardiner: a British defector in Washington

http://developing-your-web-presence.blogspot.com [Developing your Web presence] Few people rile me as much as neocon media poodle Dr Nile Gardiner, which the BBC's Newsnight feel they must occasionally honour with a satellite link when they need to show the posh sounding side of the ultra-right of US politics.

Send More Soldiers!: NILE GARDINER, PH.D., FELLOW OF ANGLO-AMERICAN SECURITY POLICY, HERITAGE FOUNDATION: Well, I think the French and Germans and many others in Europe simply are weak, cowardly and spineless when it comes to the war on terror.
