Hilary feasts on Belgian Chocolates

BRUSSELS: US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton confessed on a visit to Brussels on Friday to having a soft spot for Belgian chocolates, vowing to "ration" visits to resist the temptation.
"They're the best, they're' so delicious," Clinton told privately owned Belgian television channel RTL-TVI. "I was given samples from some of the leading chocolatiers in Belgium."

"I have to ration how many times I come to Belgium because I love chocolate and I can't eat too much of it."
The former First Lady and US presidential candidate was in Brussels Thursday and Friday for talks with NATO and EU officials as well as members of the Belgian government.

Two months into the new administration....and the Clinton lies have started. One look at Hilary's weebil ass, and we can see she has no intention of rationing chocolates. They're MINE!

Hillary Clinton Rewrites History in Front of Puzzled Europeans

Members of the European Parliament in Brussels were shaking their heads after Secretary of State Hillary Clinton incorrectly said U.S. democracy is older than Europe's.

Clinton compared Europe's multi-party political system to our two-party version: "It is hard enough with two parties to come to any resolution, and I say this very respectfully, because I feel the same way about our own democracy, which has been around a lot longer than European democracy."
Europeans trace their Democratic tradition back thousands of years to the days of classical Greece. Later Secretary Clinton raised eyebrows again when she mispronounced the names of two of her EU counterparts.

Hillary Clinton arrives in Brussels looking like a Weebil

Hillary Clinton has just arrived in Brussels on her first trip to Europe as US Secretary of State...evidently representing the Weebil Party. That ass has gotten so big if you knocked her down...she would roll right up again. And what the hell is that lots o’ lace jacket? A token nod to the Belgian lace lobby?

Prince is going to be outraged, when he finds out Hil stole his jacket.

Hilary's here to make nice with Europe...or reconnect the United States with the continent after tensions with the Bush administration she says. Were there European tensions with the Bush Administration?? Well blow me down, who'd have thought.

Here she is shaking hands with Belgian Foreign Minister Karl De Gucht. Karl is positively elated that an American knows where Belgium is!

Gordon Brown said that this was the most "pro-American European leadership in living memory - a leadership that wants to cooperate more closely together in order to cooperate more closely with you".

He must be thinking of some other Europe. The Europe we see is one totally incapable of coordinated action, where protectionist instincts are every bit as strong as in the US and which at last weekend's summit in Brussels split into two hostile camps".

NATO to Launch TV Channel

NATO plans to start an online TV channel to improve the image of the Western military alliance.
NATO TV will be launched at a summit next week in Bucharest, Romania, alliance spokesman James Appathurai said Wednesday.
Much of its coverage will focus on the mission of the alliance's 47,000 troops in Afghanistan. NATO plans to have five TV crews sending regular reports from the country.
The channel will be available on the alliance's Web site, http://www.nato.int/. Broadcast quality footage will also be available for TV networks to download.
Denmark is providing much of the funding for the project, which is part of an effort to boost flagging public support in several allied countries for the Afghanistan mission.

Train bombing hoax in Belgium

Trains in several Belgian cities including Brussels were stopped for up to an hour on Friday and some stations were evacuated after police received hoax bomb threats by telephone.
Police said stations in Louvain and Antwerp had to be evacuated to be swept for bombs, while the central station in Brussels was checked by a dog trained to find explosives.
"Service is back to normal now," a police spokesman said.
Belgium, which hosts NATO and European Union institutions, relaxed security on Thursday after a two-week state of alert prompted by the uncovering of an apparent Islamist plot to free an al Qaeda suspect from jail.
Fourteen suspected Islamic militants had briefly been detained and Brussels cancelled its traditional New Year fireworks display because of a perceived threat.

Belgium arrests 14 linked to terrorist plot

Belgian police on Friday boosted security in Brussels over fears of a possible Christmas attack after the arrest of 14 suspected Islamists, the interior ministry said.
The suspects were detained early Friday in a police raid following the discovery of plans to free an Al-Qaeda sympathiser from prison using weapons and explosives, justice officials said.

Security was tightened "in busy public places", such as the capital's underground metro system, railway stations and the international airport, as well as at Christmas markets and in shopping districts. STORY
