Why is Bush adressing the EU as a independant identity, and as a whole instead of the various countries in Europe, weather members or not? Thankfully the EU is not a federation yeat, and God willing, newer will, but although I am not sure it will be good for us independant minded citizens of the various European countries having USA side with us in this struggle (although we tend to have more favorible opinions about Amerika than the Pan-European nationalists), but it is certeinly not good for us, and indeed not the US of A in the long haul promoting a united Europe. Or do you maybe think it will be simpler and better for the US just having to talk to a single, strong Europe instead of many strong independant countries? Would the US of A maybe sell Iceland into the European "wannabe" imperium? I hope not, we have been allies since you supported our independence from those same forces during the WW2, I hope that will continue, despite we not beeing as useful as then as a military base, maybe we will become so again if Euroland becomes to strong...

Bush has no problem with europe tying itself in bureaucratic knots. It'll weaken them further still.

If Europe is now "unified," they should give up one of their two vetoes (France and Britain) on the UN Security Council and give up 24 of their 25 seats in the UN General Assembly.
