More "Last Chances" than Darryl Strawberry

From the Washington Post:
E.U. Warns Iraq It Faces 'Last Chance':

European leaders united Monday behind a strongly worded declaration affirming solidarity with the United States and warning Saddam Hussein that Iraq faces one "last chance" to disarm peacefully.



"Baghdad should have no illusions. ... The Iraqi regime alone will be responsible for the consequences if it continues to flout the will of the international community," 15 European Union leaders said in a joint declaration.

The leaders gave strong backing for the U.S. and British demand for swift action to disarm Iraq, giving the American military buildup in the Persian Gulf credit for forcing Saddam to work with U.N. weapons inspectors.



Ohhh, a strongly worded declaration! Don't you know that'll shake Saddam to his boots. Still, it could've been worse, as this CNN article seems to imply: EU urges Iraq to disarm. Oh, well. I guess we'll just have to continue our 12 year long "rush to war."
