As if Roberston's declaration that other day that God will re-elect Gee Dubyah wasn't bad enough today he put on Rummy's suit and bashed out new "enemies." Like a good little toady the phrase "old" Europe was used to push the point home.

Deimos · 5th January 2004, 08:54 PM

It's interesting, though not surprising, that it's apparently appaling to the writer of the article that European leaders areagnostic/atheistic, yet it's great when Bush is overtly Christian.
And, where is the European rush to support terrorists and dictators, not to mention moral ambiguity?
Of course they're probably smug about the quagmire of Iraq, most of them started saying no to the idea of invading on day one.

The 700 Club's War on "Old" Europe

God told Robertson that Bush will win.

Hungary, Poland, Romania, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, and other eastern european countries lived under forced socialism for 40+ years. Now they need us, as we need them.

Old Europe (except Spain, Portugal, and England) told us to F- ourselves when we needed them most. It makes me happy to see them rot in the ass-backward freakish cultural ways they have always been so proud of.

Mon Dieu, Mama Mia!!!

Funny.

It wasn't a statue it was an effigy. Accurate representation huh?

And why is it specific to the article to mention that the man is Gay?

Toppled by "leftists"?

One gets the feeling that CBN has an alternate agenda - and a very sad one at that.

CBN is the media mouthpiece for the reactionary religious right of the Republican party. Pat Robertson.. well, what can be said about Pat Robertson that he and his fellow travellers haven't said already themselves.

True enough, they did not agree to help Bush in his war with Iraq, and when the crisis is over America will pack up its troops and go home. Whereas countries like France, Germany, and the others have the good fortune to be located much closer to Iraq and they would have to continue to deal with the problems that would ensue by agreeing to help with aggressive war for many years after it has faded from the front pages of American newspapers.

However, countries like Poland, Spain, Turkey, etc. are willing to risk the problems that would go with their minor involvements since they are being paid to do so.

Another fine example of the American thought process at work!

I do hope you're not saying that the main reason for France, Germany et al not joining in with the invasion of Iraq is/was purely Geographical?

Not purely geographical, but I am sure that geography had a good bit to do with it.

Similar causes were offered during the 80's when President Reagan was attacking Libya and many in Central Europe were not very eager to sign on due to their large Arab population, trade ties, the citizens they had who were working and living in Libya, and the fact that Libya lies just across the Med.

Nah - doesn't make sense re: Germany/France when you consider they were part of the coalition in the first Gulf war. Why the sudden change of heart? I doubt proximity is an issue here.

Excuse me, but I just have to point out that in the first Gulf War there was widespread agreement,
there was UN backing, and
the goals were clearly defined.

As opposed to the second Gulf War which did not have idespread agreement,
where there was not UN backing, and
the goals were not clearly defined.

Creative emphasis mine.

Geographical proximity is probably not a huge issue, unless I am way off base and this is a discussion about RISK.

What I am talking about is the risk that can occur when one's country is located near another country that is undergoing serious problems.

Or put another way, if you have a picnic next to a bee hive, then you should expect to get stung.
