If you look at the statement it is apparently very carefully worded such that it can incorporate both the UK (pro-war) and France (anti-war), and all the positions in between without pissing anywone off. Basically this statement is a very clever fudge to make th EU seem united when it quite blatantly isn't.

He's beginning to look like a pantomime of Saddam: stall, delay, subvert, coerce, [img]graemlins/dancing.gif[/img] (step 2) stall, delay, subvert, coerce, [img]graemlins/dancing.gif[/img] (step 3) stall, delay, subvert, coerce - from the top now take it, altogether.... stall, delay, subvert, coerce.

Of course, we can mold these useless words into something over time. International crap is always this way. "Sustainable Development" was a catch phrase that nations could agree on in treaty language. Well, once it got written in, folks like me started writing treatises about what it meant. Now, a definition is starting to take shape.
