comment from today's Oil Drum

Hi,

here are some articles from Bulgaria -

Bulgaria’s Defense Minister, Nikolay Mladenov, stated Thursday there is a strong possibility that the country will increase its military contingent in Afghanistan.

and ironically we are going to spend EU money to build new highways just as peak oil is looming

Over 50 companies from all over Europe have purchased public tender documents for the construction of the Trakya highway.

This was announced Thursday by the Minister of Regional Development and Public Works, Rosen Plevneliev, who says the reason for the new and huge interest is the transparency in the absorption of EU funds in Bulgaria, established by his ruling Citizens of European Development of Bulgaria (GERB) party.

I will give you Euro's are smarter than us in one aspect. They are letting the USA do the necessary hard work fighting the war on terror.

One day they will wake up hopefully not before it is too late.

On the insomnia radio last night I heard from a Canadian
who called into say that somehow Canadians and Europeans
know more about what is going on in this country than we do.

And that those who talked to in both European countries as well as his own Canada think we are just plain stupid for
taking on a build up in Afghanistan. A complete waste.
