EU to Bush: You Need Us to Solve World Problems

[maddezmom]

BRUSSELS (Reuters) - The European Union (news - web sites) urged re-elected President Bush (news - web sites) on Friday to make a fresh start in transatlantic cooperation, but internal EU differences over ties with Washington refused to die down.



"The EU and its member states look forward to working very closely with President Bush and his new administration to combine efforts, including in multilateral institutions, to promote the rule of law and create a just, democratic and secure world," the 25 EU leaders said in a joint statement.


But the future of relations with the United States prompted a fresh outbreak of public sparring by European rivals Britain and France at an EU summit in Brussels.


British Prime Minister Tony Blair (news - web sites) rubbed salt into wounds opened by the Iraq (news - web sites) war by saying that some leaders, whom he did not name, were in "a state of denial" about Bush's victory.

1. Tony Blair needs to ousted from Office!!!

Second of all, the EU needs to build it's own military force and tell Britain to get some balls and decide who they want to belong to, the U.S or Europe!

2. The State of Denial...

Seriously, Bush work with the EU? He won't even work with the 55 million who voted against him.

4. Solve the world's problems?

Surely you jest.

To quote a Repub colleague: "That's for LIBERALS!"

If it doesn't affect Boy George directly, it doesn't matter.

Simple as that.

7. Geez, something just dawned on me.

Bush ram-rods his agenda without giving a damn about the consequences, what if the EU does the same thing to Bush?

8. Blair is in a state of denial

About who bush represents. He's so star struck by his important
connection to hitler, he's become a new mouthpiece for the dark
lord. Blair should wear a darth vader mask, so at least he'll
have some integrity with his new role.

9. and Bush sends out Cheney

who tells the EU "Fuck Off".
