Oh, you mean the "strongly worded message"
they issued yesterday? I'm sure Saddam is really quaking in his boots. Not another "strongly worded message!" He might suffer a painful paper cut as he wipes his ass on that message the same as he did with all those UNSC resolutions! Why, that cut might even get infected! Wouldn't that be considered a form of biological warfare? How cruel! Maybe not, though. I'm sure the EU has some regulation regarding writing "strongly worded messages" on antiseptic paper to prevent such a tragedy.
As for the EU and Old Europe, one thing about the current situation is that we're really getting to know who are our friends and who isn't. Old Europe isn't.
