Prodi plan to leave Britain out in EU cold
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,2089-2136355,00.html

ITALY’S election victor, Romano Prodi, has unveiled a plan to speed up the integration of a core group of European Union countries that threatens to leave Britain on the sidelines.

In his first newspaper interview since he narrowly defeated Silvio Berlusconi last week, Prodi told The Sunday Times he would accelerate measures to bind the main continental members into a tighter alliance and breathe new life into a European constitution.

He promised that despite the close result, he would stick to his 289-page manifesto and give Italy stable government for a full five-year term. He added in English with a smile: “There is no alternative.” snip

As befits a former head of the European commission who prides himself on having overseen Italy’s adoption of the euro, Prodi said his priority was to forge an alliance of what he called “the countries most determined to push for a common European policy”.

1. That's the usual process
The EU monsters push from one side, the US from the other. They're just trying to divide
old alliances to further their own globalist agenda. Same old, same old. Nothing will come
of it beyond what they want to come of it.

Once Bush (the RW EU's primary front-man at this point) is gone, I hope the Gnomes of Zurich are prepared for what they've wrought with the genuine American public. :-) Pushing Great Britain
around isn't going to make Prodi popular amongst us.
