The Text of the Letter

France and Germany, are you listening? The responsible countries in this region outnumber you now. Welcome to irrelevance.

Bump!

[CholeraJoe]

Tony Blair having a little chat with Jacques Chirac.

New Europe Ping

[Grampa Dave]

To the new Europe. Thanks for being there with us!

To the old Europe! You perverts are now irrelevant. May your socials countries tumble into the ash bin of history with your butt buddy Uncle Soddomite!

[Shermy]

The DNC will figure this out about six months from now.

[jeepster]

Good grip on the weseal....LOL

[txradioguy]

Maybe all the bases we're closing in Germany right now we should spread out across our new friends in "New" Europe. It would be one way of thanking them for their support when Germany decided to thumb usin the eye.

[Shermy]

France, Germany, Belgium and Luxembourg

You're surrounded.

[debg]

8 to 2 1/2!

[jeepster]

Time to base our troops in Italy and Spain

[knighthawk]

And on the edge. If the new government coalition will be CDA-PvdA, there will be a chance the Netherlands will no longer support the US without UN approval.

If the CDA-VVD-LPF can form a coalition, they will say: 'Let's Roll'!

[MadIvan]

ping!

BIG PING

[You Dirty Rats]

I'm not surprised to see that Belgium and Luxembourg have sided with the Axis of Weasels. Big deal. Can anyone name five famous Belgians? As for Luxembourg, there are counties in Texas bigger than that place.

The really funny part is that for all the hugs and kisses between France and Germany, they still don't like each other. I was in Germany on the day they went through to the second round of the World Cup and France didn't. I started cracking on the French and the Germans loved it. "Ja Ja, ve like to make fun of them too ... but ve haff to be very quiet about it."

I gotta believe the few Thatcherites left in the Conservative Party have to be laughing their asses off at the "Axis of Weasels" bit. As for Maggie - "Statecraft" has to be the most timely political work out there right now. I wonder how much Blair & company honestly believe the Euro and closer integration with those weasels is a good idea.

Can anyone name five famous Belgians?

Pieter Paul Reubens - painter
Jean Claude Van Damme - actor, sort of
Rene Magritte - painter
Georges Simenon - writer of the "Inspector Maigret" series
Peyo - creator of the Smurfs

But I'm operating from an unfair advantage - I lived in Belgium for a few months.

I think the Netherlands is more or less on our side too - we have to wait for the coalition to come together.

It's simpler to list who is against us:

France
Germany
Belgium
Luxembourg

Not exactly a "world beating" team, if you catch my drift.
