Solana toughens stance on Iraq

European Union foreign policy chief Javier Solana has said the case for war against Iraq has not yet been made - making a thinly-veiled attack on the crisis' "hawks".
Mr Solana insisted that the UN Security Council must be the centre of efforts to prevent what he called the "catastrophe" of war.
[...]Meanwhile German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder expressed doubt that diplomacy would succeed in averting a conflict.

"The international situation, especially the crisis over Iraq is worrying me," he told a conference in the western town of Wesel. "I am worried about whether we will succeed in avoiding a war in Iraq.
[...]
Mr Solana's comments came as Russia continued to advocate a peaceful solution to the crisis amid continuing European divisions.
[...]
However, Russia has been firmly opposing the prospect of military action, saying there is no evidence to justify it.

And diplomats in Moscow say Russia will be expecting something more tangible from the US than UK Prime Minister Tony Blair's dossier on Iraq released in September 2002, which Mr Putin dismissed as propaganda.

Putin, you lying Russian Stalinist scum bastard!
You and your friends and family in the KGB made propaganda into an art form!
We don't work that way in the West (except for the Lib Dims, Tranzis, and sleeper Ruski Commie cells you support here like A.N.S.W.E.R.!).
In the meantime, Schroder's got "Tom Daschle" disease where he's "worried" and "concerned" and has "questions..."
He may speak Hoch Deutsch and wear lederhosen, but these Lefist Liberals are all the same, aren't they?
Is it any wonder that President Bush's hair is so gray (so is mine!) and that he looked so worn last night?
These idiotarians will literally whine and moan you into an early grave.
