| EU Policy: Militant Appeasement : and parody of Churchill’s speech | |
| 2004-03-16 | |
| EFL because its mostly about Spain except for the new policy by the EU chief Spanish PM-elect vows to pull troops out of Iraq, lashes Bush Spain’s prime minister-elect, Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero, vowed to withdraw troops from Iraq... . The head of the EU executive arm, European Commission chief Romano Prodi, agreed, in an interview published by Italy’s La Stampa newspaper Monday. "It is clear that using force is not the answer to resolving the conflict with terrorists," Prodi said. "Terrorism is infinitely more powerful than a year ago," and all of Europe now feels threatened, he told the paper.
I posted this yesterday late... Parody of Churchill’s June 4, 1940 speech I have, myself, full confidence that if all do their duty, if nothing is neglected, and if the best arrangements are made, as they are being made, we shall prove ourselves once again able to grovel in our home, to ride out the storm of war, and to live peacefully with tyranny, possibly for years, until we are killed.... Even though large tracts of the world and many old and famous States have fallen or may fall into the grip of the Islamofascists and all the odious apparatus of their rule, we shall not flag or fail. We shall go on to the end, we shall appease in the EU, we shall appease on the seas and oceans, we shall appease with growing confidence and growing weakness in the air, we shall defend almost nothing, especially if it costs lives or treasure, we shall appease on the beaches, we shall appease on the landing grounds, we shall appease in the fields and in the streets, we shall appease in the hills; we shall quickly surrender, and even when, although I do not for a moment believe this will happen for a few years at least, this land or a large part of it is subjugated and in dhimmitude, then our forces beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the Americans, will refuse to carry on the struggle, until, in God’s good time, they too would cease the rescue and the liberation of we old ones. | |

| #3 That seems to be a perfectly French solution, I expected more of the Spanish. They have already experienced the horrors of the violent moon god worshippers in their lands 500 years ago. Looks like there bending over for round 2, and I wonder how long it will be before they realize they're going to be taking it dry this time. |

| #2 Why should the Spanish risk their necks and social benefits when the Yanks will finish the war with or without them. Its a cowardly, selfish, position, but it does have a certain logic to it. |

| #1 The subtext of Prodi's speech is: Let's find out what they want and give it to them. But Mr. Prodi, who are you going to negotiate with, and what are you going to negotiate about? Their opening offer is "Die, infidel pigs!" So what's your counteroffer? "You may kill 15% of us, but not one person more!" And what's your negotiating leverage? "Accept our offer, or we shall form a committee." |
