BBC: US seeks allies for war on terror (Promoting PNAC)
Edited on Sat Jan-24-04 11:53 PM by Cannikin
US Vice-President Dick Cheney has urged European nations to do more to support global democracy and defeat terrorism.

But he told business and political leaders that nations had to be prepared to send troops if persuasion failed.

"Just as we must not force you to choose between your European and transatlantic vocations, you must not sell yourselves short and settle for less than the military capability and influence that your people deserve," he said.

"We must confront the ideologies of violence at the source, by promoting democracy throughout the greater Middle East and beyond," he said.

Eva Biaudet, a Finnish MP and former health minister, said the vice-president had failed to touch upon key issues like "poverty, injustice and development", while she was shocked by what she called Mr Cheney's "militaristic view of how to get democracy".

1. the bbc is the state moutpeice of the Bliar government of lies
Of course they support PNAC, blair is deeply entrenched between bush's buttocks and can't get his long nose out.

The blair tories love cheney.... its a bit disgusting when a labour party leader sends the party over to the other side to support criminal war... but hopefully the electorate will catch on soon.

Finland has the number 1 free press in the world (next to the USA #32) so no suprise they're calling for real justice and calling a spade a spade. http://www.rsf.org/article.php3?id_article=8247

You should provide a link to that BBC stuff?
