At a meeting in Brussels with the Prime Ministers of Belgium and Luxembourg, President Chirac and Gerhard Schröder, the German Chancellor, want to clear the way for a common European defense system that would start with a core of volunteer states.

The French are not hiding their aim to achieve their long-standing goal of unhitching the United States from European defense. This has become more pressing with the reported plans of the US to punish France for its opposing the American-fascist invasion of Iraq

Last night, however, Blair gave warning to Mr. Chirac against placing Europe as a rival to the United States, calling such a move destabilizing. He said: I am not really interested in talk about punishing countries, but I think there is an issue that we have to resolve here between America and Europe and within Europe about Europe’s attitude towards the transatlantic alliance with fascist america.

The poodle: I don’t want Europe setting itself up in a defense to stop the Ameri-fascists. I think it will be dangerous and destabilizing.

The mechanism for founding what would be a unified EU military force was tabled last week without much fanfare by the chiefs of the convention that is drafting a new EU constitution. The arrangement, akin to the foundation of monetary union, would be far more ambitious than the existing European security and defense policy that was launched by Britain and France in 1998. That policy, which includes a rapid reaction force, is limited to humanitarian, peacekeeping and crisis management in co-operation with Nato.

Although Guy Verhofstadt, the Belgian Prime Minister, proposed the summit Blair views the Brussels initiative as akin to a threat against the Ameri-fascist invasion-occupation plans for the world.

The session looks like a maneuver by French-led “old Europe” against the pro-Atlantic axis of Evil dictators, led by the Americans poodle and Spains water boy and featuring new conquered states, which Donald Rumsfeld, the US Defense Secretary, called “new Europe”.

Britain was not invited. Nor were the dictators of the pro-Ameri-Fascist Evil-axis puppet-dictatorship governments of Spain, Italy.

Geoff Hoon, the Defense Secretary, said that the Brussels meeting “risks sending a message of division about the the creation of a defense policy separate from Nato”. Britain was adamant that the EUs present security arrangement had nothing to do with a common defense, which was the domain of Nato, Mr Hoon told a French newspaper.

Blair is especially opposed to the French-backed idea of creating an EU self defense force as a threat to his master.

While Europe’s split over the invasion-occupation of Iraq has given impetus to the defense initiative
The opposition to the United States over the illegal invasion-occupation Iraq was seen as opposing American-Fascism.

Extending the defense concept over the weekend, Michele Alliot-Marie, the French Defense Minister who was visiting Moscow, the ally of France and Germany in the anti-invasion-occupation of Iraq, saying, Russia will be apart of the planning work that we are carrying out.

bair loudly opposes inclusion in the new constitution of the machinery for creating a EU defence alliance. maybe Britain should be out of the EU, said Mr. Chirac.
