BRUSSELS (Reuters) - The European Union has put off deciding which countries will take in 13 Palestinian militants allowed by Israel to go into exile following a weeks-long siege in a Bethlehem church.

European Commission President Romano Prodi said on Monday that the EU was not trying to shirk its political responsibility for the men, but said it needed more time to work out their precise legal status once they are taken in by various member states.

"We have taken on this responsibility at a European level. Various EU countries have made themselves available. Now we have to decide how the men will be distributed among these countries as well as their precise legal status," Prodi told reporters.

The EU is always KISSING UP to terrorists.

The EU Kisseing at two of the lips of the Axis of Evil:

They are going to live to regret this and all their pro-terrorist actions. They haven't a clue.

Did you read this boot licking drivel? Ugh.

Oh the Europeans love the Palestinian 'militant' as a political construct, but to actually live next to one? To have to face the relatives of murdered citizens who will ask why did YOU let that freak in and allow him freedom? The Palestinian in reality is quite a different matter!
