U.S. - British 'Special Relationship' Spat


New York, NY: UN Secretary General Kofi Annan chided the United States and Britain on Friday, saying "I know two nuclear powers that better apologize and start playing together again."

Relations betwen the two nations have been strained since State Department analyst Kendall Myers took a jab at the British government, saying that cooperation had been very 'one-sided'.

On Thursday, Prime Minister Tony Blair reportedly told his cabinet that 'well, if that's the way they feel we can just take the fifth, seventh and fourteenth armored out of Basra and go home' adding that English soldiers had done 'more than their share' in Afghanistan and Bosnia.

In concluding remarks before the UN General Assembly, Secretary Annan said "There there. There there."
