EUROPEAN COP OUT: "TOO LATE TO STOP IRAN"

It already passed the point of no return. So, learn to live with it. This despicable cup out is inherent in the an internal EU document as printed by the Financial Times:

“At some stage we must expect that Iran will acquire the capacity to enrich uranium on the scale required for a weapons programme,” says the paper, dated February 7 and circulated to the EU’s 27 national governments ahead of a foreign ministers meeting yesterday.
“In practice . . . the Iranians have pursued their programme at their own pace, the limiting factor being technical difficulties rather than resolutions by the UN or the International Atomic Energy Agency.
“The problems with Iran will not be resolved through economic sanctions alone.”

You are not kidding! This could have been a call for serious action to bring about regime change but of course it is not. On the contrary, it is a call for resignation. As Chirac said, in the worse case scenario, they will annihilate Israel. No, I am not being facetious. The Jews can take it. They have taken it for centuries. They conveniently forget that the Jews were not the only ones who perished in Hitler's Kampf and they are not going to be the only ones perishing in Ahmadinejad's Kampf. Chirac knows this. That is the reason he threatened to nuke the Iranian. The rest of Europe? As always, it hopes the 800 pound American gorilla to do its dirty work while it hyperventilates about global warming.
