#1 I must be missing something, The story doesn't mention what the initial WTO ruling was or what tax laws are the Eunuchs talking about.
A little help?

#2 I believe it is over some anti-dumping law that was passed in 1916 and has never been used against any EU firm. No blood, no foul? I guess not for the EU.

#4 You know, I'm really fed up with the f*cking Eurotrash. Haven't they learned that they really don't want to piss us off? I mean look what happened when Phrawnce pissed us off? Can you say 20% (some places/markets higher) decline in sales of french products. Do those scum sucking euroweenies need another grassroots boycott of european wares? I'm all for it. But I won't give up my guiness. And I generally don't include Great Britian when I say 'Europe' anyways.

#5 "...to apply countermeasures of up to $4 billion following the failure of the U.S. to comply..."

Hmm, math is hard, but $4Billion is, what, .04% of the US GDP? I know I'M scared...

#6 Yeah Hyper it is small, but I read that they were going to target particular industries based in states that might be close in the next election. How many times do their actions revolve around countering Bush rather making good policy? Geesh EU, get over it already. They will have to deal with him for another 5 years.
