Remember the last time we went to war. Tony Bliar hopped into bed with Shrub - a right wing idiot in the White House - so fast that he didn't have time to think about how imbecilically stupid an idea it was.…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment

The only member states wanting an EU army are the ones who think they would control it but wouldn't necessarily.
