Labour forges ties with US' Democrats
Norway's Labour Party is joining other European social democrats in linking up with the Democrats in the US. The goal is to be prepared with common strategies if a majority of them on both sides of the Atlantic come back to power.
A group of European social democrats, led by former British Foreign Minister Robin Cook, met last week with several top Democratic politicians and party officials. They included US senators Hilary Clinton and Joseph Biden.
They also had meetings with Ron Klain of presidential candidate Wesley Clark's campaign, and Stan Greenberg, former US President Bill Clinton's campaign strategist in 1992.
On the agenda was European concern over current US foreign policy and the effects of globalization.
Espen Barth Eide, who led the Norwegian delegation, said the group met "understanding" that "economic globalization must be accompanied by political globalization."
There remain wide differences between the European social democrats and their counterparts in the US, who tend to be far more conservative.
Barth Eide called it "natural" however, "to begin with those (in the US) who are closest to us (in ideology), even though the Democrats of course aren't social democrats."

Scary, huh?

Developing "common strategies" to run Western civilization straight into the ground, no doubt.
Nope, most US Democrats aren't social Democrats. Anti-social speaks more accurrately.

Hillary is the key. And bill clinton hasn't been wandering around the world for no reason either.
Robin Cook is the front man, but don't think Tony Blair wouldn't be happy to be back in touch with his old pals the clintons. Blair joined us in Iraq, after dragging his feet as long as possible, because he (admirably) put the good of his country first, and the good of England demanded the preservation of the Special Relationship with the U.S.
But that doesn't mean that he didn't have a much better time bombing Belgrade with bill clinton than deposing Saddam with George Bush. He would deal with hillary in an instant, if he had the chance. He just can't get too close to her now.
