    There was nothing "intricate" about Indian Mobile Telephony, the rollout of networks there simply mirrored that of countless network rollouts elsewhere in the world, with perhaps a little more red tape to be negotiated than was the norm. I thought you would have been "clever" enough to have worked that out for yourself.
    My confidence was ill-founded it seems.
    You really ARE as thick as you sound.

    When you're clever you can work things out by analysis; experience is for dimwits like you.

    I assume the 1986 event was bombing the crap out of Libya.

    The UK had no troops or gripe with Grenada - that was a US issue.

    The Middle East by contrast is very different.

    He did inform Maggie about Libya in advance contrary the OP's post.

    British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher privately disapproved of the mission and the lack of notice that she received, but she publicly supported it

    The USA doesn't ever, and hasn't ever given a shiny tulip about anything except the USA.
    In your own words: What a load of bollocks.

    You got any evidence that Reagan launched missile or air strikes from UK soil without telling Thatcher?
