    So, I read the story and I don't get what the title of the thread is getting at. Are you suggesting that by suggesting that Eastern European nations such as Poland, Ukraine and even Russia should become even closer to Europe and NATO that President Bush is unaware that East and West Germany reunited, etc.

    Maybe it would fly if he was giving the speech in Germany. But he was speaking in Poland and was addressing Poland, Russia and Ukraine. The Iron Curtain would be a better object to seize upon than the Berlin Wall.

    JuanValdez: Not if he meant to WARN Poland about the fall of the Berlin Wall. Having been unified for 10 years now, those pesky Germans might just be looking to invade someone [​IMG].

    That's why the Germans have to be so careful to set the parking brakes on their tanks when they go home for the night. In the past, they've accidently left the parking brake off and awoken to find that they'd conquered Poland.

    mrpaige, I was playing w/ the quote: "No more East and West".

    I realize that leaders have to occassionally give 'round up' speeches, but wannabe comic hacks like myself have to have fun w/ it. :p

    See, I'd have gone with something like: Bush is really pushing for a more unified Europe so he won't have to remember the names of all those countries and their leaders. Or something like that.

    OK, that was hilarious!


    ------------------
    I have just realized that the stakes are myself
    I have no other
    ransom money, nothing to break or barter but my life
    my spirit measured out, in bits, spread over
    the roulette table, I recoup what I can
    nothing else to shove under the nose of the maƮtre de jeu
    nothing to thrust out the window, no white flag
    this flesh all I have to offer, to make the play with
    this immediate head, what it comes up with, my move
    as we slither over this go board, stepping always
    (we hope) between the lines
