US Wants UK's Brown To Be More Like France's Sarkozy

Sunday Telegraph :

Allies of Condoleezza Rice, the US Secretary of State, have told The Sunday Telegraph that the Prime Minister should emulate France's President Nicolas Sarkozy and warn that Iran may face military action, in order to help avert a new war in the Middle East.

The concerns reflect growing irritation in Washington, from the White House down, that Mr Brown will not match his more robust private conversations on Iran with hard-hitting public statements that would put pressure on the Teheran regime.

Sarkozy acts like a hothead, a real "M. Popoff". He does his shtick virtually anywhere, like when he exploded in phantasm of anger and invective at a paparazzi photographing him and his party in public on a boat while on vacation in Vermont this past summer. His Foreign Minister, Kouchner, was just as wild in his outbursts about the possibility of visiting War on Iran. And that from the founder of "Doctors Without Borders/Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF)"!?

Be more like Bush and Sarkozy? Does that mean they want him to be a drunk like them?

Apparently fearmongering still works in European politics.
So the robber barons and arms merchants can now join hands across the sea.

Bush can offer scraps to his lap dogs:
a French toy poodle, English Pug, and German miniature schnauzer.

OUCH!!

Al Gore must be wishing he put his GOOG stock in a lock box. 16% is a big hickey.

I will argue that those who allow the gop to steal freedoms in this country are failed Americans and cowards.

Today, we honor those who fought and died for our freedoms and these falied American cowards happily give them away because they are scared.

obl's attack is mission accomplished because he knew these cowards would fold our freedoms to his one attack.

I will continue to honor those who died for our freedom, to call out the cowards who give our freedom away to a broken government that can't be trusted.

What's all this crap from Bush about a war on Tara? The south lost long ago.

Show of hands--how many of you neocon trolls are going to sign up for duty.

We're waiting for your answer.

Bush can shit in one hand and wish in the other and see which one fills up first. The Brits are wise to Shrub's shenanigans. Sarkozy will learn the same lesson.

The Brits are asleep at the wheel right now, but they will wake up and ditch Brown after a few more terrorist attacks like 07/07/05 and the attempted attack on the Glasgow airport.

Sarkozy was put in power with the help of the CIA. Brown is not the poodle Blair was.
How could Sarkozy be elected and his party lost big time? It reeks! And, well, Merkel,
she is the poodle because Germany lost the war and has to dance to the song of the piper, the US, so does Japan.

I hope Gordon Brown does not cave in. He needs too be independen­t...and just wait another year when these crazies are out of the White House...

As we all know, wherever there's oil, there's them "terrists".

An the warrenterra must go on.

In Iraq, Bush invented a connection between Saddam and al Qaeda. That didn't work out too well because the lie got exposed.

With Iran, Bush's strategy is to "create" a lie rather than just say one. That creation is the declaration by our State Department that Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps is a terroris organization, thereby making an attack on Iran a part of his beloved warrenterra.

So, if the facts about Iran's nuclear program don't justify an attack on Iran, there's always that "finghtin' the terrists over there..." excuse.

And, if all else fails, there's always that trick of finding missiles with Iranian markings in Iraq.

One way or another, we're gonna get control of our oil buried under their sand.

Who was it that built the Iranian nuclear plants in the first place? A huff and a puff later everything would be OK if the Shaw was still in Iran and delivering all the oil he could to the American conglomerates.
