Here's the heavy payback for the Weasels. And a "carrot" to keep Blair looking toward the U.S. while keeping Europe less eager for Britain to adopt the Euro. Notice that this will not hit New Europe as hard and will also make trade with us and under the aegis of U.S. economic/military power more attractive. Oh, yeah, and U.S. armaments will naturally become more attractive to our New European allies as well.

This reminds me once again of just how deep and thorough American foreign policy planning has been in the last year. Despite the initial failure at the U.N., it's very thorough in its economic, military, and diplomatic aspects. It's astonishing.

It's the Total Package, baby!

Despite the initial failure at the U.N., it's very thorough in its economic,
military, and diplomatic aspects. It's astonishing.

Just my opinion...but as I told my cousin in Dallas (former Canadian, now
US citizen), Dubya couldn't lose at the UN.
Either he'd convince them (France, etc.) to join up and be the de facto leader
or he'd expose the UN as the dictotor's club it's become.

I'm still in disbelief that the French were insane enough to publically back-stab
their only real friend in Dubya's circle: Colin Powell.

My cousin said that Powell sounded like a whining child when trying to convince
the French to not veto. I told him Powell was getting an education -- and that
it will be interesting to see if he learns from the experience.
