1. a counter-move to the axing of Fallon?

Will active (?) talks with "Old Europe" make it hard for the Bushies to use that beloved Republican line, "the bombing starts in five minutes?"

2. This is a slick move to take the gunpowder away from the Bush Junta

Anything that thwarts more death and destruction is a good thing. This a surely brought on by the Fallon firing. The world knows Bush is a mad-man on the hunt for an "I DID NOT LOSE 2 WARS" legacy, and Dumbya just had the rug pulled out from under him and Darth.

Dumbya and Darth must feel like they took that 36 hour Viagra and never got serviced. I hope they explode from blue-balls.

The EU knows Dumbya is a blithering idiot, and they will checkmate the goon. Good for us and the Troops.
