 thanks Germany :-( Germany won't block "war as last resort" on Iraq
Britain and Spain have demanded that an emergency EU summit on Iraq in Brussels include in any common position on Iraq an acknowledgement that military action cannot be ruled out. Germany has repeatedly said it opposes war and will not sanction any new U.N. resolution legitimising the use of force, but a joint declaration it made with France and Russia last week noted military action could not be ruled out. Asked whether Berlin would mention of the use of force could prevent a common EU stance, Fischer said: "We are not standing in the way of a compromise. But I think that is the wrong discussion. The question is what must we do so that we do not come to the use of military means."

Jump To Comment: 2 1I don't believe anyone except the gullible ever believed France and germany and co would ever stand up to the states. It was all posturing just to show the US they still have some clout, and probably to secure some post-invasion deal on oil rights for TotalFinaElf and the like.
These EU fucks were always going to sell out it was just a matter of how long (or how much)Put your faith in people power not another super EU empire.
