The kinder gentler W tours Europe and wins support from Jacque. What is next?

Maybe on the way back he will stop in Ottawa and meet with Paul.

Did the guy have a sea change since Nov 2? I don’t think so.

Could it be the positive influence of Condie? Hmmmmmm. Maybe…

I don’t think the US can take credit for everything that is going right, but things are sure starting to turn positive……

Syria out of Lebanon in the next few weeks? Maybe

Iraq gets a new leader (I think they call him a PM) in the next few weeks? Likely

Israel withdraws from the West Bank and comes to a peace agreement with Palestine with a few months? Probably

France and Germany join Britain and the US in denouncing Iran\’s nuclear program. It happened


Wow….

Yep...

One unshaven, murderous, terrorist S.O.B. dies and the whole machinery quickly starts to fall apart.

Yasser Arafat was nobody's friend, and will go down in history as another Hitler. I just can't figure out how the hell he kept so many Arab leaders actively supporting his terror machine, or at least passively allowing it to exist.

Lets hope his replacement doesn't show up for another hundred years or so!

I'm more worried about the EU selling arms to China than Iran's Nuclear ambitions. Why is China prioritizing upgrading it's military???? And who would Iran Nuke, Iraq, Israel, the US, as long as they aren't planning on nuking Canada, I say let them have all the nukes they want:Þ

Yeah, but now things seem to be heating up in North Korea...

North Korea’s Latest Deadly Weapon
Demanding talks with the United States, Kim Jong Il says he possesses an unreleased Ben Affleck film
WEB-EXCLUSIVE COMMENTARY

Feb. 15 - North Korea sent shockwaves through the international community today by announcing that it possesses an unreleased Ben Affleck film which it will open wide if the United States does not agree to bilateral talks.

Moments after North Korean dictator Kim Jong Il used his weekly radio address to drop the Affleck bombshell, intelligence experts acknowledged that the calculus in the Korean peninsula had irrevocably changed.

"If Kim is telling the truth about possessing an Affleck movie, and we have reason to believe he is, it is time to upgrade the North Korean situation to a crisis," one CIA source said.

In Washington, intelligence professionals have long suspected that the North Korean madman was attempting to buy Affleck outtakes on the black market in the hopes of assembling a full-length feature film.

Over the past five years, unused footage from such Affleck stinkers as "Daredevil," "Jersey Girl" and "Paycheck" have made their way from the cutting room floor to such nations as Iran and Libya, both of whom are rumored to have funneled the deadly outtakes to North Korea.

"We now believe that North Korea's entire nuclear program may have merely been a decoy to distract us from their true goal: assembling a full-length Ben Affleck film," the CIA source said.

But as grave as the North Korean scenario may be, the source said, an even worse-case scenario may be on the horizon: "Several unreleased recordings by Clay Aiken have recently gone missing."

Elsewhere, the judge in the Michael Jackson case whittled down the jury pool to 242 potential book deals.

Why is China upgrading its military? Well why not? Many, many other countries have. China's military is the largest in the world, numerically. But it is rife with old, outdated equipment. And it was not all that long ago that the US was selling military goodies to the PRC.

The US military-industrial complex is still searching for an enemy. The war on terrorism is really just fill until some country pops up to continue justifying the trillions of dollars the US loves to spend on military hardware instead on doing some overdue social good for its own people.

Countries like Afghanistan and Iraq were easy knock overs with the thrill of victory being very short term. The occupation of these countries are a boring drag. Now if Russia or China could become the big threat to the US, then there will a whole lot of drooling going on at either end of Pennsylvannia Avenue.

ya, that Bush guy --- he’s a uniter, not a divider. Europe – yup, fences mended --- they all trust Bush now. They have all the assurances needed – the US has no intentions to invade Iran. Yup, the trust is there - you can feel the luv.

Oh my gawd - every NATO nation, including France, has committed to help with the program to train Iraqi army officers --- France will send ONE officer to help with the training, but that officer will not directly enter Iraq itself. But it’s the symbolism that counts!

What’s this – France & the US agreed to issue a joint statement calling for passage of a U.N. resolution insisting that Syria withdraw its troops from Lebanon. Fawk me – a U.N. resolution – I just knew Bush would embrace the United Nations --- nothing like a good Iraq fiasco to deepen one’s sentiments. Bush says Chirac would make a good cowboy! Hey luckydog, pass those Freedom French fries – wahoo!

 

[HeMadeMeDoIt]

Yeah really what's next? France being referred to as The land of the Brave and home of the free? LOL

I guess France sending one is the same as France sending a million troops, they will be equally useless!

simple ... just like Hitler was supported and used by many other countries to forward their agendas (and have a scapegoat) so too was Arafat used by the nations that wanted a trouble maker who they could blame for the problems they wanted to have happen.

just like the US supports Isreal to further their interests ...
