Going to war may just take the edge off Sarkozy’s testosterone

ENDA KENNY could have a unique problem when he attends his second EU summit on Thursday and Friday — that of getting and keeping the attention of his fellow leaders sufficiently long to get his interestrate reduction.

He appeared to be the only source of entertainment for some at his previous summit just 10 days ago as truculent French President Nicolas Sarkozy baited him with threats to the country’s corporation tax.

Sarkozy was in an especially irritable mood and was heard to berate the EU’s foreign chief Catherine Ashton in the corridors outside the meeting for her opposition to enforcing a no-fly zone over Libya.
