He has warned the British, and they are US.

If you just sit down and think about it for a minute, Palin was correct when she said that Paul Revere warned the British.  Everyone he was giving the news to on the night of 18 April, 1775 was a British citizen, like it or not.  Maybe revisionist history isn't so revisionist after all.

Excellent point.

I wonder how many of the 57 states will see it that way.
