Pawns: Radar for Lisbon Treaty

Ah, those who hope to see a United States of Europe (not me, particularly) are surely not enjoying watching while the poor Lisbon Treaty gets batted and kicked around like a two-dollar trick. The treaty, for the uninitiated, is the latest attempt by the EU member states to approve a Constitution. A few years ago, the Constitution failed to pass muster after the French and Danish voted it down. This Lisbon Treaty recently got the thumbs-down from the Irish and is coming up for a vote in the Czech Parliament very soon. Well, guess what? Read on. Prime Minister MIrek Topolanek says, gee, he can't see his party, ODS, supporting the treaty without getting support from the rival parties, CSSD, Greens and Communists' support of the US radar base. Ah, I love this game!

Prague, July 9 (CTK) - Czech Prime Minister Mirek Topolánek (Civic Democrats, ODS) said Wednesday he cannot imagine ODS lawmakers supporting the Lisbon treaty unless parliament passes the Czech-US treaty on stationing a US radar base on Czech soil.

"It is hypothetical. In view of that the ODS group (of deputies) has 81 members and I think that I know opinions of most of them, it is very difficult for me to imagine that the deputies, or ODS senators, would vote for the Lisbon treaty if the ratification of the treaty with the United States failed," Toplánek said on Radio Česko.

U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and her Czech counterpart, Foreign Minister Karel Schwarzenberg, signed the main treaty on stationing the radar base on Czech soil in Prague on Tuesday.

Topolanek said "it is not entirely acceptable to connect it like this. But for the deputies who can make a free choice, it can be a certain aspect that will play a role in the decision-making."

To take effect, the treaty must be ratified by Czech parliament and signed by the president.

Support for it particularly in the lower house is, however, uncertain. It is rejected by the opposition and also by some government Green Party deputies.

The Lisbon treaty, which Topolanek signed for the Czech Republic, is opposed by some deputies from his party, the ODS. It was on their initiative that the Senate sent the treaty to the Constitutional Court to check whether it is in harmony with the Czech Constitution.

This story is from the Czech News Agency (ČTK).

Lohan blames a part of her worries around the tabloids idealizing hard partying celebrities, stating “I'd personally look up to those young females … the Britneys and whatever.

Lindsay Lohan just isn't going someplace that would keep her from filming, so again, I call Baloney at this sincere extensive inpatient treatment trash.

My Christian theories let me know Jesus desires us to turn the other cheek. Thank God we've been a nation that detaches the church and state; it's the time we as People in the usa just notify Ahmadinejad to go to hell.

Lohan Should go to Rehab Today. If this seriously isn't just her planning to keep from prison then really it is idiotic! She actually is going to head off to jail for around 30 days in spite of who the judge is. Undoubtedly in Los angeles meaning 6-8 days!

Lohan Is going to Rehabilitate Today,. it is actually just a ploy to reduce the jail time to be sure the judge will undoubtedly be lenient with her. Soft treatment is sooo a lot better than imprisonment, possibly the judge do not give her any incarceration when you consider that he will be so pleased!
