UN gives Iraq seven-day ultimatum |
Oil prices edged higher and European stock markets fell after US President George W Bush said Iraq faced a final test and would be disarmed by force if it failed."
Etc, etc more here.
"US Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said the compromise resolution had "unpoisoned" US relations with Germany, putting aside a bitter dispute with Berlin over possible US military action against Iraq.
Rumsfeld made up with German Defence Minister Peter Struck, whom he had snubbed at a NATO meeting in Poland in September, at what was described as a pleasant session at the Pentagon."
Donald Rumpy Pumpy, post coital cigarette in hand, described the session as the most enjoyable night on the tiles he'd had for months.
"I've had World leaders climbing into bed with me all this year. Tony Blair and John Howard have been my most constant, eager and willing partners, unfortunately they are both a tad passive for this red blooded A'merkin. They both just lie back and think of Engalund. Where's the fun in that?! I like my whores to be a bit frisky. There is nothing quite like the excitement of full on frightening the horses style rooting after kissing and making up.
Struckypoos and I are now one in our mutual desire to blow up Saddam. It's just that we want to see his weapon first."
