#1 He's the Straw Man, Steve, we can expect nothing else.

#2 First, I thought this was s-face.

“Well it’s very difficult to say who is the first, or the second, or the third”.

-I believe the question was - are they the world's primary? This guy didn't even do a good politician dodge - first, second, third? What a douche.

“But there is no doubt that Iran has... in its territory and financially it helps organisations which are terrorist inclined,”

Kind of like saying a fish is "aquatically inclined". What a puss.

#4 I don't normally attack individuals for what I consider institutional failings, but I find Solana creepy, oily, slimy, smarmy, weasily.

#5 And to say...the longer he stays neutral on things, the more paychecks he draws!

#6 Javier Solana has a taste for fine clothing and being made to feel important. Guess what. Here the the USofA he is just another Euro clown. No one really spends a lot of time to thinking about how he "feels" about the middle east. He would sell us out for a new suit. Enjoy your leadership position in a toothless, feckless waste of energy. Stay the hell out of our way you back stabbing clown.

#7 No. No. No! The only sophisticated and mature way to deal with the Islamic world is the EU way: turn around, bend over, and drop your pants*.

*The sequence is not a typo --- it's the EUfficient way of doing things.

#8 Let's rephrase that in 1936 terms "Military action if the Germans reoccupy the Rhineland or annexes Austria would be a mistake." That certainly led to peace, happiness, puppy dogs and baby ducks.

#9 I don’t think will contribute to what is the aim of everybody
Just what is "the aim of everyone"? Has the EU proposed any action? The EU is a bunch of limp dicks and all the bad guys know it. Go away and don't come back until you grow a pair.

#10 "Unilateral action of that nature I don’t think will contribute to what is the aim of everybody"
Let's see... did so-called "unilateral" action in Iraq "contribute to what is the aim of everybody"?
It worked for me. It worked for the better part of 25 million Iraqis -- especially the Shiites and the Kurds. Of course it didn't work for France or the EU in general. No more weapons and technology sales to Saddam. No more loan paybacks by Saddam. No more Oil-for-Food kickbacks from Saddam. No more monopoly of food sales to Iraq. Rinse, repeat for Iran.

#11 "A shock military strike against Iran’s nuclear facilities would be a “mistake”

A shock military strike against Hitler would be a mistake. Do I hear a echo that took 66 years to travel?
