Hague rushes to Washington

"The United States is without doubt the most important ally of the United Kingdom."The Foreign Secretary said
If i remember it correctly it used to be the other way around...don't you think during the previous governments of both the countries....anyways it is better if I let them sort it out themselves who is an ally of who....and who needs to do more ...one thing is for certain that the new Foreign Secretary of the number 10 is a quick brown fox and not a lazy dog like his predecessor David Miliband
