Bulgaria and Cameroon now Vital to US foreign Policy
LMAO

The diplomatic motorcade pulled up to the White House yesterday with great fanfare. It was a summit of the two great strategic partners, America and Bulgaria.

Bulgaria?

The U.S. is now in the process of wooing the "minnows" — as some in the Pentagon disparagingly call the small countries that could deliver the votes for a Security Council resolution on going to war with Iraq.

It's the battle of the pipsqueak powers: we dragoon Bulgaria to offset France dragooning Cameroon.


Now Secretary Don Evans flies off to Bulgaria to discuss trade, and Rummy hints we may move U.S. troops from Germany to Bulgaria.

In diplomatic circles, our new allies from Eastern Europe are dryly referred to as "Bush's Warsaw Pact." As one Soviet expert put it, "Bulgaria used to be Russia's lapdog. Now it's America's lapdog."
