Recently, one British visitor was chatting to CIA Director George Tenet about the Europeans’ role. ‘I’ll tell you exactly what the President said the other day on that very subject,’ said Mr Tenet. ‘He said, “I don’t give a shit what the Europeans think.” ’

Ahhh...spoken like a true Texan! Way to go GWB!

Screw those pompous, hypocritical European "leaders". They really don't care much if many thousands of Americans die in a nuclear attack by Iraq. They're just concerned about their business deals with Iraq and about making the U.S. follow "international law." International law is not a guide to this situation. There's never been a nuclear-armed country run by a serial mass murderer, so there's no precedents in international law that cover this situation. This is a new threat unlike any other we've ever faced. We have the inalienable right to unilateral self-defense. We don't need the approval of Chirac or Schroder to defend ourselves. Chirac needs to spend a weekend thinking about how to stop selling weapons to terrorist nations.
