Barking Moonbat Of The Week

This week’s award was a cinch for Cindy Sheehan after her lunatic rant at the Capitol on Wednesday. That was then, this is now. Coming to her rescue is our old friend Jacques “tête de merde” Chirac, leader of the French Resistance - the group of Euro-ratbags who fight an endless struggle against the entire whole world ... especially the United States.

Of course Jacky-boy makes an exception for Muslims in the Middle East, especially those associated with terrorism like Hamas. Since his pal Arafat kicked the bucket Chirac has been lonely - but that hasn’t stopped him from bashing the US. His latest rant earns him the award this week ....

Chirac Blasts U.S.-Led Invasion of Iraq
_{PARIS (NEWSDAY) - January 5, 2007, 11:26 AM EST}

President Jacques Chirac gave a tough critique Friday of the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq and its fallout, saying the war destabilized the entire Middle East and allowed terrorism to spread.

In a speech to ambassadors, Chirac also renewed his call for an international conference on the Middle East, saying he was deeply concerned by the growing number of crises there.

“At Europe’s gate, the Middle East has become an epicenter of international tensions,” Chirac said. “Crises are building up and spreading.” On Iraq, Chirac suggested the problems there today justified France’s strong opposition to the invasion in 2003. “As France foresaw and feared, the war in Iraq caused upheavals whose effects have not yet finished unraveling,” he said.

“The venture exacerbated the divisions between (Iraqi) communities and undermined the very integrity of Iraq,” he said. “It weakened the stability of the region, where every country is now worried about its security and independence. It gave terrorism new terrain for expansion.”

Now, “more than ever, the priority is to return sovereignty to the Iraqis,” Chirac said. Chirac had rallied together voices against the Iraq war, the main foreign policy legacy of his 12 years in office. He is not expected to stand in elections this year, though he has not yet declared his intentions.

For months, Chirac has called for an international conference on the Middle East. The European Union should relaunch the work of the so-called Quartet peacemakers—the United States, the EU, Russia and the United Nations—with a proposal for a conference, he said.

Chirac said it should be “a new form of conference that, without claiming to dictate the terms of the settlement to the parties involved, would bring the new guarantees that they aspire to,” he said. “Then, I am persuaded, a true dynamic of negotiation could be launched.”

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
