Queen teases Bush over date gaffe

It is interesting to note the Queen’s thanks on the USA’s involvement in bringing peace to Northern Ireland - achieved no doubt because they did not invade the place.
 
Hmmm, what DID the USA actually do?

    The Queen has made a joke about US President George Bush’s gaffe in which he nearly aged her by 200 years.
 
    In a speech at a dinner in the US, she said: “Mr President, I wondered whether I should start this toast saying I was here in 1776 but I don’t think I will.”
 
    She was commenting on the president having nearly referred to one of her previous visits being in 1776 not 1976.
 
    The Queen thanked the US for helping to bring peace to Northern Ireland, as she completed her six-day state visit.
