19/02/2005: "No plans to attack the US"
"Switzerland has no plans to attack the US", foreign affairs minister Calmy-Rey told journalists in Geneva today. "Listen, first of all, you never want a minister to say 'never.' But military action is certainly not - it's never the minister's first choice. Diplomacy is always the minister's first - at least my first choice. I hear all these rumors about military attacks, and it's just not the truth," she continued. Maps of military exercices with the symbol "US" depicting enemy positions were discovered in her office last week. "They know what they need to do," Calmy-Rey said of the US. "And so what they are trying to do is kind of wiggle out."
