Masters of Diplomacy
Mad props go out to my man Atrios for providing this story about how the US is setting new standards of tact and diplomacy:
WASHINGTON (AFP) - The United States sneered at plans by four European countries to create an autonomous European military command headquarters near Brussels separate from NATO, referring to the idea's proponents as "chocolate makers." In unusually blunt language that drew surprised gasps from reporters, State Department spokesman Richard Boucher scoffed at Belgium, France, Germany and Luxembourg for continuing to support the proposal that they first introduced at a mini-summit in April.
As Atrios himself points out, "This would all be funny if these buffoons weren't killing our soldiers and trying to usher in the rapture by screwing up North Korea."
