Luxembourg Prime Minister Jean-Claude Juncker reacts as he arrives for a second day of the European Union summit in Brussels on June 29, 2012. Leaders from the 17 countries sharing the euro sealed a dramatic deal Friday to direct emergency measures at crisis-hit Italy and Spain and boost the embattled economy, sending markets sharply upwards.

A funny thing happened at the EU summit

We can only speculate as to the cause of Jean-Claude Juncker's melodramatic reaction as he got out of his car this morning. Perhaps, like many people around Europe, he was shocked that the continent's leaders appear to have finally come up with a set of measures that show they are serious about solving their crippling debt crisis.

    There will be more dramas from these EU leaders, who have contributed their share with their extreme greed and arrogance.

    US, Britain, and many European nations are in a economic mess due to greedy Saudi and oil companies high oil price manipulations using Iraqi wars as an excuse.

    PIIGS and heavy US debts are due to Iraqi and Afghan wars!

    Even imposing sanctions on Iranian oil by some meaningless inventions like in Iraq and manipulating oil prices from $40 in 2009 to current $100 levels is having its impact.

    Too many wars are bad for nations including the US.

    Start counting for the collapse of EU!
