#1 Mark my words: in the middle east, our interests and the Europeans' perceived interests--including the Brits'-- do not converge. Eurabia's on the other side. We must not and cannot expect any serious help from western Europe in containing the nightmare states of the muslim world. It's the makings of a Suez Crisis in reverse, and we need to recognize it in advance of the fire next time.

#2 I like what Blair did with Libya, but ussually the EU's economic presence acts more as a shield for bad actors against accountability.

#3 Tony's not with us regarding Iran, and Iran is far more important and dangerous than anything we've faced thus far.

Study the Suez Crisis. France is itching for revenge, and this time Tony's going to be on their side.

#4 Which is worse Syria or EU?

The EU isn't capable of executing an agreement to trim nasal hairs.

#5 The agreement is that Syria will unload its WMDs on the ~~niggers~~ blacks of Sudan.

#6 the us needs to take a pragmatic policy with regards to syria..syria is a small bit player that can be contained by israel and aggressive
US diplomacy...as long as iran is out the picture syria will follow the winners...no need to have a front in syria and iran..as soon as the shit hits the fan with iran the mutual defense pact between syria and iran will fall apart and sryia will fall in line.

Super Hose - what did blair do in Libya? as far as i know blair worked in concert with the US since lockerbie in regards to Libya...just curious..not questioning you..
