1. hmmm I wonder are the alliances ready to go |
|
oh yes, 1938 comes to mind
As we break and Neville Chamberlain delivered peace in our time.... Iraq was bad, but I think Europeans are getting way too tired of this shit

2. Imagine taking your time machine BACK to WW2 and reporting this |

life is weird like that I guess. Good for Schroeder for saying what needs to be said by European leaders.

8. Every one with a brain that still functions... |
|
...knows that the pResident and his neo-cons traitors are after the oil and Iran is next. Gerhard Schroeder is simply confirming that "*" is actually delusional enough to try and start another war, regardless of the cost to America.

...he'd be cancelling Dick Cheney's upcoming visit to Alberta "due to scheduling conflicts". RIGHT FUCKING NOW.

There are people still alive who lived through it. They never want war again.

24. Excellent! news! Especially that it's a TOP story |
|
Edited on Mon Aug-15-05 06:26 AM by BelgianMadCow
it is, of course.
The past couple of days, I read about Shröder giving the Bush the no-no on Iran and a UN envoy doing the same. I am very glad that at least some news organisations are picking up on the importance of this.
It may not alter the course of history, but this announcement by Schröder, coming out of a sky with only minor clouds, is at least testimony that like the previous time, the world will not stand idly by when a fascist regime throws away the veils and rears it ugly head.
That's what I believe is about to happen. The US image in the world was already severely damaged, but the maladministration was still keeping the pretenses up. Soon, they will show themselves for what they really are.

25. Last time "all options on the table"... |
|
The only option was war with Iraq, we just didn't know it yet.
so this time, again, "all options are on the table", and there is a definite plan by the Bush regime to do something.
Anyone else notice how the minute Bolton was recess appointed, there's Iran headlines 24-7?
These criminals are insane.
