"Our two nations are separated by more than 5,000 miles. But for an American abroad, you can't get much closer to the ideals and convictions of my own country than you do in Israel.".

Gee, I could be wrong, but I tend to think Great Britain is a stronger military ally than Israel and is almost parallel to the US in terms of what goals they want to see in the world. But hey, it's okay for Romney to insult them on their preparedness for the Olympics because it's not like he has to worry about losing the British vote.
