"We have listened to the prime minister of Greece and the President-in-Office both today and yesterday and, what can I say, we are speechless. We have decided to stand a country, a nation, up against the wall and then we demand that it totally disarm; we – or more to the point the United States – who manufacture, export and use weapons of mass destruction. It would be a different matter if this were part of a joint endeavour aimed at general disarmament. But we heard it yesterday and we heard it again today. What has to be done? Iraq has to be taught a lesson and disarmed! A clear common position has to be adopted on Iraq! Not a word today from the President-in-Office about the fact that the inspectors have yet to find a smoking gun; Bush and the European Union are still determined that they will. Mr Simitis also said yesterday that it is irrelevant that the European Union has four members, the Security Council will decide. And what is he going to do with these four members? He is calling on other members, Mr President, China and Russia. Of course they too have a responsibility, but what will the four from the European Union do? And we also want to know what is going to be done about the American bases in the European Union, because thousands of troops are marshalled in Germany and in Souda ready to intervene, as they are in the region of Iraq. Is this our peace effort?"@en1
