#1 PARKENSON'S LAW FANS WILL LOVE WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE!

They are working out all the committee organization and communication right now. Reading this piece was unbelieveable to me. The EU will be saved from terrorism by committee. Not likely.

#2 "The current structures are based on artificial pillar structures and in Brussels there is not even a body that co-ordinates the activities of the different committees", Mr De Vries writes in his report.

Pillar structures ... and AQ will be the bowling ball.

I predict that the first concrete proposal will involve a requirement for lots of funding. At least some of that money will be ear-marked for awareness training and public service announcements to increase the "awareness of terrorism in the public psychie." Money ill-spent as terrorists do their own advertizing.

#3 den Beste is all over this in his latest post:

"You will not win this war by hunting for terror cells and expelling radical imams. All you'll do that way is to delay defeat. Your police cannot win this war for you. They'll try, but they'll ultimately fail. You cannot win this war inside Europe.

You sure as hell are not going to win this war with bureaucrats.

Step 3 is recognizing that you're going to need soldiers, and your soldiers are actually going to have to fight, and they'll have to do that fighting outside of Europe. Your soldiers will not win by engaging in peacekeeping. They can only win by engaging in warmaking."

#4 EU Anti-Terror Czar Coordinates Committes

I can just see it now:

"Now, let's see here, Denmark and Malta, you two sit next to each other over there right by Iceland and Sweden. Seborga and Greece over there, and we'll have the FarÃ¶es and Finland over there too ...

Okay, who else's flags coordinate in matching colors? Germany, you'll just have to wait!

Hokey smokes, Bullwinkle! You mean to say that someone over in Europe isn't breathing their own exhaust? Got a link for all the folks at home, Matt?

#6 I just looked at Steven DenBeste's site and found his essay. He even linked the EU article I posted. Great essay!!!!! Every US citizen should read it. It is located at USS Clueless.

#7 Thank you, AP, I appreciate the link. Since I am unfamiliar with Steven DenBeste's site, I thought it was a European publication. Now I know better.

#8 Hey, has anybody read this thing? It's hilarious. Sounds like the Euro anti-terror campaign is being run by Larry, Curly, and Moe.

#9 Infidel Bob, the "highly classified" suggestion that the Terrorism Working Group could be melded with the Working Group on Terrorism could really achieve "synergy." Just think of how many misrouted phone calls that combining those two bureaus could save. The possible efficiency gains would be astrological.
