| EU, NATO call for UN involvement in post-war Iraq reconstruction |
| 2003-04-04 |
| The European Union and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Thursday stressed that it was incumbent on the international community to be involved in post-war reconstruction of Iraq. "A UN resolution would be a prerequisite for the EU to be involved in post-war reconstruction of Iraq," "We're trying to figure how to grab this bone away from the American doggy..." He said the EU welcomed Turkey's assurances not to get involved in northern Iraq. "We also stressed that in dealing with regional "If we divert everyone's attention to the Paleos, then maybe we can slip in and grab off some of that Iraqi money and they won't notice..." "We also stressed the very important relationship Europe and the EU has with the Arab world and to further strengthen the dialogue of civilizations." "We're on the Arab side, not the American. Everyone knows that. So you should give us money." "This is not a clash of civilizations," added Papandreou. Most of the foreign ministers of the 19-member NATO are also EU Yes, it is. For his part, NATO Secretary-General George Robertson said the ministers "made it clear the need to see the involvement of the international community, especially the UN, in post-war Iraq." |

| #3 Whenever the US, Britain, Australia and the rest of the allies get their share, the EU, NATO and the UN are welcome to pick over what's left on the carcass. Not before. |

| #2 "This is not a clash of civilizations," added Papandreou. Most of the foreign ministers of the 19-member NATO are also EU hacks ministers. Yes, it is. Indeed, it is. It is a clash between western civilization and a culture that would revert civilization to the 7th century. The fact that France has given itself over to that culture and will soon not exist as a part of western civilization anymore is lost to these windbags. "The idea that Iraq can be an El Dorado, a cake that states can cut up and share doesn't appear to me to be good sense," he said. What he does not say is that France has been trying to re-establish its colonial empire in Africa. If its good enough to cut up Africa for France, it must be good enough to cut up Iraq for France as well, right? The sheer pomposity of French politicians boggles my mind sometimes... |
