A crushing blow to the European Union, a huge dissapointment and loss....

Watch Europe. Greece will no longer be part of the EU and this will happen in short order. THIS DOES NOT MEAN THE DISSOLUTION OF THE EU. As I have said before Greece is not the only member of the EU to leave. There will be others.

Watch Europe.

The bus shtick is getting old and stale Doc. Dream up another one ok. You're being a little less imaginative than usual by repeating the same lame, old oneliner.

But in the meantime I'll continue to post what I like, where I like and when I like. You don't own this thread, it's not yours. It is ours. (note the use of the collective word: ours.) Is there something about the concept and use of a public forum that escapes you?

Furthermore, Dummy, last time I checked Greece was still a country within Europe or perhaps you have been consulting another source of information. Get your face out of youtube Doc. You'll be misled every time.

Onan is absolutely out of his fcking mind, he will cling to a misconception even after he's been proven wrong. He has the emotional intelligence of a 12 year old.

I spoke with a Dutch fellow at work yesterday, he confirmed, Conan is an idiot.

Radical Right Courted By Disaffected Voters

another poster boy for the intolerance of Extreme Conservatives

It's unlikely that the right-wing extremist who admitted killing dozens in Norway last week will be declared legally insane because he appears to have been in control of his actions, the head of the panel that will review his psychiatric evaluation told The Associated Press.
The decision on Anders Behring Breivik's mental state will determine whether he can be held criminally liable and punished with a prison sentence or sent to a psychiatric ward for treatment.
The July 22 attacks were so carefully planned and executed that it would be difficult to argue they were the work of a delusional madman, said Dr. Tarjei Rygnestad, who heads the Norwegian Board of Forensic Medicine.
In Norway, an insanity defense requires that a defendant be in a state of psychosis while committing the crime with which he or she is charged. That means the defendant has lost contact with reality to the point that he's no longer in control of his own actions.
"It's not very likely he was psychotic," Rygnestad told the AP.

"If you have voices in your head telling you to do this and that, it will disturb everything, and driving a car is very complex," Rygnestad said.
"How he prepared" for the rampage -- meticulously acquiring the materials and skills he needed to carry out his attack while maintaining silence to avoid detection -- argues against psychosis, Rygnestad added.
By his own account, the 32-year-old Norwegian spent years plotting the attack. On July 22, he set off a car bomb that killed eight people in downtown Oslo's government district, then drove north to a youth camp on Utoya, a small lake island set amid a quiet countryside of pines and spruces.
There, he spent 90 minutes executing 69 people, mostly teenage members of the youth wing of Norway's governing Labor Party.
In a 1,500-page manifesto released just before the attacks, Breivik describes his two-pronged attack as the opening salvos of a new crusade that, by 2083, will purge Europe of Muslims and the "cultural Marxists" he complains are letting them have the run of the continent.

If tried and convicted of terrorism, Breivik will face up to 21 years in prison or an alternative custody arrangement that could keep him behind bars indefinitely.
If he is declared insane, a judge could order him institutionalized in a psychiatric ward only so long as he is deemed mentally ill, though Norway does have provisions for keeping dangerous, but no longer insane, people in custody even after they're discharged from the hospital.
Judging by his manifesto, it's not likely that Breivik would want to pursue an insanity defense if it were up to him. He anticipates that, after his attack, he will be labeled "psycho," "maniac" and "insane."
"I have an extremely strong psyche (stronger than anyone I have ever known)," he wrote.

Timothy McVeigh killed 168 people when he set off a car bomb, similar in many ways to Breivik's, that tore through the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City in 1995.
"Timothy thought he was starting a revolution, too," said Dr. Seymour L. Halleck, a forensic psychiatrist who examined McVeigh to determine whether he was competent to stand trial.
To carry out such an attack, "you need a certain kind of competency and determination -- and some need to make a mark on the world," Halleck said. "There was nothing we found psychotic about Timothy McVeigh."

Eurozone crisis looms large for world leaders

By Bryn Weese, Senior Washington Correspondent


WASHINGTON, D.C. — Prime Minister Stephen Harper wants to see tough action on the eurozone debt crisis at this weekend's G8 summit in Maryland, his chief spokesman says.

Then at the NATO summit in Chicago on Sunday and Monday, Canada will push for major reforms in how the defence alliance deals with 21st century threats.

Andrew MacDougall, Harper's director of communications, told reporters Thursday Harper intends to work closely with his G8 and NATO counterparts this weekend to help chart a course forward.

"The prime minister is of the opinion that this (the eurozone financial crisis) is the problem that needs to be talked about now, and I think it's good timing that we have this opportunity with some of the principals around a table," MacDougall said in Ottawa.

"It seems like we've been discussing this issue for many a summit," but none of the actions taken to date have cured the underlying debt problem that's plagued Europe for years, he added.

"Tough action needs to be taken...We need to get on top of this."


U.S. President Barack Obama is hosting the G8 summit at secluded Camp David. Perhaps complicating matters for the summit is that this will be the first such meeting for France's rookie socialist president, Francois Hollande, who was elected just weeks ago on promises to renege on France's commitment to the European fiscal pact, which is helping to keep the continent solvent, and to yank French troops out of Afghanistan two years ahead of schedule.

Also on the agenda for Harper at the G8 and NATO summits are the humanitarian crisis in Syria, threats posed by Iran and North Korea, food security in Africa and — most notably for NATO — how to make a smooth transition from NATO to local security forces in Afghanistan before the end of 2014.

NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen has made it clear he intends to pressure Canada to keep trainers in Afghanistan past the current 2014 deadline. There are about 900 Canadian Forces members based near Kabul currently helping to train Afghan security forces.

But Conservative MP Chris Alexander, Defence Minister Peter MacKay's parliamentary secretary, said Canada is committed to bringing its troops home in 2014, as currently planned.

"These sorts of statements prior to a summit are absolutely nothing new," Alexander told Sun News Network recently about Rasmussen wanting Canada to stay engaged longer. "They are part of a lot of dialogue (that) is happening ahead of the Chicago summit, and clearly Canada has contributed strongly at every stage of the Afghan mission.

"Our allies know that, but the current mission is scheduled to end in 2014."

crisis, cont

Also in Chicago, where thousands of protesters are expected to drag out their concerns about corporate greed and rail against the war in Afghanistan, the NATO leaders will discuss the very nature of the 60-year-old defence alliance.

Rasmussen — with Canada's support — has been pushing the idea of "smart defence," which is essentially an answer to the West slashing defence budgets with each member nation specializing in different aspects of NATO's fighting force.

A senior Canadian government official on Thursday referred to it as "burden sharing."

Another major issue for the European nations in particular will be the U.S. shifting its focus — and critical military resources — to the Pacific front, meaning Europe will have to pull more weight in upcoming missions in the region.

But as Stephane Abrial, NATO's supreme allied commander transformation, wrote in an op-ed Thursday, the Asia-Pacific region is just as important to Europe as it is to the U.S., meaning the entire Eurocentric nature of NATO will likely shift as well.

Indeed, along with the initiatives of smart defence, Abrial wrote, Sunday and Monday's summit in Chicago could change the very nature of NATO.

"Multinational harmonization of this scale is undoubtedly a challenge, since defence is tightly bound with national sovereignty. Nonetheless, it is incumbent on my command and all NATO structures to implement the political commitments that will be taken at Chicago and put the alliance firmly on this new path," Abrial wrote. "The result will be a more cohesive and stronger trans-Atlantic alliance, adapted to the 21st century.

"Ultimately, the goal our leaders will set in Chicago is to fundamentally change the way allied nations think about developing our capabilities in the long run. This objective must be sustained by strong political commitments to deepen co-operation necessary for the alliance to be prepared for current and future challenges."

[Romero]

ConanDoyle headline: "Europe's impending collapse"

Actual headline: "Euro-zone debate dominates G8 agenda"

Content: "The global economic recovery has struggled to maintain momentum, calling into question the idea of austerity as a one-size-fits-all solution. German Chancellor Angela Merkel, the undisputed champion of fiscal discipline, suddenly finds herself isolated.

The emphasis on fiscal austerity in Europe is widely seen to have exacerbated the continent’s debt crisis by sinking the weakest members of the European Union into recession and sowing political instability by triggering a social backlash."



Conan could write headlines for Fox Nation.

Where's Europe's impending collapse? Many countries are having a rough time indeed because of the shady financial shenanigans but most Europeans are doing fine. The continent is not going to collapse. It's a recession. Did the US collapse? Did the Asian tigers collapse?

Europe will come out stronger than ever. Europeans know that social democracy is the way to go. Europeans are exemplary.
