#1 The French nuclear deterrent could be a real problem as events play out in the next decade and the Caliphate rises to dominance. I think we should act now to eliminate this danger, and we can do it by turning the enemy against themselves. The CIA or, failing that, wealthy private citizens, should start financing French Greens and eco-wackies on the condition that they use the funds to campaign for unilateral nuclear disarmament.

This kind of scheme has actually worked before. Citizen Hughes, based on papers stolen from Howard Hughes' private warehouse, details how Hughes paid eco-wacky Barry Commoner $100,000 to stir up anti-nuclear demonstrations in Las Vegas in the late 60s. Hughes wanted leverage in a dispute with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, and it worked perfectly. Commoner gave the word and thousands of naive hippies descended on Vegas and the nearby Nevada Test Site.

#2 The Europeans who are really worth saving would be welcome to come here.

True but there are probably some Europeans in the stretch running generally north and east from the Czech Republic that are still worth saving. And though there's no real evidence to support the assertion at all I have a strange feeling the even Russia might be worth saving this time around.

#3 I often wonder if the British are as Euorweenie as their press likes to present. Imagine if Ohio had gone the other way. There would be little difference between our policy and the Euroweenie policy - but it would in no way be reflective of our public at large. The BBC is relentless and I think many people, (just like here in the US) don't really pay much attention to world's events and so they just accept, without thinking, whatever the telly tells them to.

#4 The Spectator goes on to suggest that Labour knows it's losing the Muslim vote (70% of whom, it claims, opposed the Iraq war - I thought it was more) and that its recent and execrable hints at anti-Semitism are efforts to get them back on board. Apparently Labour don't think that anti-Semitism and personalised attacks on the Tory leadership will cost them anything among voters. I hope they're very, very wrong...

#5 President Rice to the emergency speaker of the French Assembly, June 2010:
"What, Monsieur LeFrog? Muslims in your pipsqueak air force have mutinied and you want US to bomb the Islamo mobs to keep them from massacring another 100,000 Frenchmen? Non! Have you not heard about the evil effects of American bombing? We have heard nothing else from you for the past 50 years and we are finally listening! Look, our Marines have seized Dunkirk and Bordeaux, as well as Hamburg and Portsmouth. They will hold their perimeters for three days. Evacuation fleets are waiting offshore. Get aboard in that time, if you like, and leave the leftists, the Islamos, and the attitude behind. We are not coming back."

She hung up the phone and sighed. Grinning, she looked at her chief of staff, George P. Bush (former Fla. Gov. Jeb Bush's son), and said, "Don't let them bother me again. The 49ers are playing the Raiders in a few minutes. Only interrupt me if there is someone really important..."

He replied, "Yes, Madame President." He chuckled, and left..."

#6 Seems like the US has already spent political and human capital on saving Europe from itself. The War on Terror in Afghanistan and Iraq is about transforming the cesspool called the Middle East. Democracy in the muslim world will ultimately reduce the immigration pressure now being exerted on Europe and change the mindset of those in the Islamic enclaves in Europe. I suspect most European politicians already understand this but their anti-american PC thinking prevents them from admitting same.

#7 "red" ken is a longtime of enemy of Tony Blair, it seems rather unfair to blame New Labour for Red Kens antics. That leaves the flying pigs thingie, which really could have been an oversight. There certainly seems to be antisemitism in the UK left, but I dont see that left is being particularly close to the current leadership of the Labour Party.

Of course its not surprising the Spectator would want to tie Tony to the antics of UKs loony left.

#8 Looks like Blair is going to win another term.

#9 There are also predictions that the turnout will be the lowest since the war. Blair got less votes than Major did, in the previous election. Things could be very interesting in a low turnout situation.

Lh - Red Ken is just one of many Labour politicos who are Leftoid lunatics. It's fairer to say that you shouldn't blame Labour for Blair's antics...

#10 Isn't he (Red Ken) typical of "back benchers" who really are the Labor Party?

#11 Pretty much, SPoD. The list is long indeed.
