Same as it menat in the Iraq invasion. Forget that Spain, Italy, Denmark, Poland, Portugal, England, Scotland, Holland, Bulgaria, Lithuania, and Romania were on board.

"lagaleze"

Lagaleze? Is that the term that defines the liberals failure to act in most cases?

The power of a diplomatic massage! LOL

It's a very good fortune to have the Germans in our corner.

Especially if the AC happened to break down during her visit. She might go Gerhard Schroeder on him.

Not sure how much Germany has to add to this situation, but they could be key in applying economic sanctions on Iran.

It will be also interpreted as a snub to Jacques Chirac, the French president, who has been demanding an immediate ceasefire. Margaret Beckett, the foreign secretary, was joined by her German, Czech and Polish counterparts in resisting a challenge by the Finns and the French to unite behind a stronger statement which also warned of breaches of international law in the three-week old conflict.

The day always seems brighter when the French get burned. The Poles are good people, Czech's thank you, and seems Merkel is proving a strong ally with Blair/Britain against France. If Sarkozy were able to win election in France, it would make the European Union a powerful ally alongside us, Australia, Japan and so forth against China and Russia's alliance with Iran and Syria. India, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Egypt seemingly leaning our way in this war too. Iraq and Afghanistan not effective allies any longer for the fascists in the M.E.

This is foing to hurt baby Assad, mini Hitler and Hezbollah though. They are used to unconditional support from Europe. On top of the G-8 release, this must depress them.

We live in a messed up world where the Germans don't want to go to war and the French think that Americans are arrogant.

Thankfully, Patton and co. neutered Germany. France was Neutered 2 centuries ago.
