"Brits Back Bush" (New York Post)

During President Bush's recent trip to Europe, British Prime Minister Gordon Brown affirmed his support of President Bush on two fronts: Iran and Afghanistan.

According to the New York Post,

Brown said he and other European Union members are backing Bush's push to freeze
the assets of Iran's largest financial institution, Bank Melli, to try to thwart
the rogue country's continued drive toward nuclear weapons.


Also, amid the Taliban prison break in Afghanistan,

Brown agreed to add 230 British soldiers to Afghanistan, too, bringing his
country's total there to 8,030.


Unfortunately, the Iranians claim that President Ahmadinejad "secretly withdrew" $75 billion from banks in Europe and moved the money to Asian banks.

Hopefully, the Asian banks will do their duty and freeze the assets. Knowing them and their lack for moral concern, they will do nothing of the sort.
