With allies like these…

they all need enemas. From Fox:

Many expected the event would lead to a potentially divisive showdown between the U.S. and Great Britain and France, Russia and China, all of which would have veto power of a new resolution that might call for military action.

Fuck France (unilateral action in Ivory Coast). Fuck Russia (unilateral action in Grozny; Russia actually has more to gain than anyone else from Saddam being wiped out). And in particular, fuck China (unilateral action in Tibet) up the ass.

Germany, which does not have veto power, also opposes immediate military action.

Just like Hitler did before 1939.
WE DON’T NEED ANOTHER RESOLUTION TO GO TO WAR. A state of war already exists between Iraq and the United States, and has since the cease-fire in 1991. Let’s finish it NOW. (Or on March 3, next dark of the moon.)

Shoot them down like the birdbrains they are

From Instapundit:

THE LOCAL CHAPTER OF EARTH FIRST! has partially covered a billboard for “Hooters” with this sign reading “Frodo Has Failed — Bush Has The Ring.” (A couple of them — looking very chilly — are “occupying” the sign, as you may be able to make out on the lower right. And yes, this is actual, firsthand photojournalism here on InstaPundit.)

Idiots. Someone with a sniper rifle needs to do their duty.

To answer the question

No, actually I don’t feel much better. But I’ve been wanting to use the “finish with Windex” line for some time, and the butthole Belgians gave me the excuse.
Years ago I worked for the Stewart-Warner corporation, which had an operation in Belgium that paralleled the operation we had in Indianapolis. The thought was that the company would save money by building these 3 and 4 ton monster air separation cores in Europe (thus saving import duties, shipping costs, etc). It ended up being such a boondoggle due to European employment laws that they closed down the plant in 1980 and moved all of the work back to Indy. Cost them millions in “future earnings” payments.
Unfortunately they brought the plant manager back to Indy, too, and he managed to run the operation into the ground within about 3 years (I was long gone by then, I’d gone back to college). But how often do you hear about manufacturing jobs coming back to the states from overseas?
