PU on the EU?
I have no doubt the money went into the pockets of folks it wasn't supposed to, all around the world, probably. How could it be any other way? And now they want to do it again, and they'll raise more millions. It boggles the mind.
Why the big rush to corner Africa?
Remains to be seen. I hope it's good news.
This should be the most important issue for our government to address. But it isn't, or at least if it is, the heart of the problem isn't being addressed. Unfortunately, no real immigration reform or serious border security will happen until a tragedy on a massive scale happens. After all, the attack on 9-11 what it took to get serious about Bin Laden and the unchecked threats in the Middle East.
I honestly believe any lesson we could have learned on that day has already been forgotten by our PC, afraid-to-offend, "tolerant" population.
Would this be a good time to short the euro?
Short selling the euro. What's Soros doing tonight?
Great Post!
Great PING!
I'm enjoying this way too much!
Indeed...
"And as the toes of the feet were partly iron and partly clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong and partly brittle. As you saw the iron mixed with miry clay, so they will mix with one another in marriage, but they will not hold together, just as iron does not mix with clay. And in the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed, nor shall its sovereignty be left to another people. It shall break in pieces all these kingdoms and bring them to an end..."
Daniel 2:42-44
The bible talks about the man who destroys wonderfully through peace!
Mr.Blair and the other world leaders better organize a world peace conference toute suite.
"Why the big rush to corner Africa?"
Maybe Blair, being unable to achieve a united Europe, now wants to reestablish the glory of England by re-colonizing Africa.
Buck up Tony, it's better this way.
The list is endless. Blair's not stupid. So he must be doing it for repayment or publicity.
Even Reagan did seemingly irrational things to appease one group or another.
Italy's muttering about putting the lira back in circulation...for some reason Italians have lost faith in the euro. Another nail in the coffin.
Africa the new focus? Bottomless pit is right!
'Focus now shifts to Africa.' Last week, the BBC did a piece on the G-8 conference -- the main thrust was that Europe had done their bit and more to help the benighted Africans. Time for the richest nations to step up: Guess who? (America, Japan, and India.) But of course, the big bad boy is Uncle Sam. We don't give enough, do enough, grovel enough, etc.. Now that Europe is falling apart, they'll look to the US to solve the world's problems, and in the next breath blame us for poking our nose where it isn't wanted.
