Amen to that, Don! I can't understand why Dubya hasn't put pressure on
Blurr to cut loose from the quagmire of the EU long before now. France and
Germany nailed their colours to the mast when the Iraq crisis blew up.
They are anti-American and have no stomach for a fight nor any intention of
putting their people in harm's way - unless of course there's billions of
dollars in reconstruction contracts on offer. They hate the fact the UK
continually act independently of the EU - as in our much condemned
participation in the Iraq war. They are intent on driving a wedge between
the US and UK. To address this "problem" of member states doing their own
thing, they recently announced they intend appointing a Foreign Affairs
Minister whose decisions on foreign policy will be binding on ALL member
states, thereby preventing us from acting alone and giving our support to
the US in any future wars without their permission (which of course will
never be forthcoming because (a) they only believe in appeasement and (b)
they loath the U.S.). Blurr claims he won't buy into it, but he's famous
for saying one thing and then signing away yet more of our independence.
Lying comes easily to him. He just can't be trusted. If anyone has GW's
ear, now would be a good time for him to intervene.
