#2 2 Weeks, huh? And after that, whatcha gonna do EU?

"Ambiguities", LOL. Okay, I guess there are quite a few EUphemisms for "FUCK YOU".

Boy, I'm sure they'll get really extra tough after they piss away 2 more weeks. What's it add up to now - 3 years?

Then, when the Russkies and ChiDinks veto any UNSC action, they'll wring their hands and say, "Well, we tried. Let's talk some more, add some more carrots, try to torpedo whatever the US is doing. Yeah, that's the ticket!"

#3 They don't need two weeks for an answer. They got it. They're just in convulsions cause their heads are about to explode over whether they fear Iran more than they despise Bush. It's like that scene near the end in the original Star Trek episode with the Nomad probe.

#4 Can't take 'no' for an answer because they have no other solution.

We need to stop protecting the Euros with missile defense and such.

#5  Czech Foreign Minister Cyril Svoboda said a coalition might have to impose sanctions unilaterally if the United Nations was unable to agree on punitive measures.

"It will be very, very difficult, but ... please, we need to stick together with the United States," he told reporters.

#8 This is like giving yet another two weeks notice to a bunch of squatters who are kicking holes in the walls and using the furniture for firewood.

#9 I vote we destroy an Iranian oil refinery every day until they agree to our demands.

#10 that would be a short campaign. They export oil and natural gas, and import refined gasoline. = they are short on refinery capacity, even shorter should consequences hostilities break out

#11 Anyone read Tom Clancy's book "Clear & Present Danger"? They had this really nifty stealth bomb that they dropped on a truck to make the bad guys think that someone had car boomed them.

Given the MidEast propensity for such tactics wouldn't it be neat to have a B2 drop a stealth bomb on the MMs? Gee, what was that? Looks like some opporsition group hit 'em wit a car bomb. Too bad, dudes.

What us???????? Says who???????
