Confidentially, you're a fiscal fiasco.

I've got to cover his fiasco tonight and suffer some more.

These papers should have been called, The End to the Global Warming Fiasco, you know.

I had a look at the bank account the other day... not much left after my great fiasco

You know, one of the problems with the fiasco of suburbia is that it destroyed our understanding of the distinction between the country and the town, between the urban and the rural.

India is a glorious democracy with an economically literate government and pockets of real economic achievement. But the fiasco in the run up to the Commonwealth Games showcased some of India s problems, not least deep corruption and inadequate infrastructure.

But the policy failures fueling this stock market fiasco go back further, to the massive government fueled surge in credit since the global financial crisis. Without that, brokerages would not have had all of that liquidity to lend for margin trading.

The price of the talks has already been high, with all sides having ramped up violence to strengthen their respective positions ahead of the negotiations. This is to say nothing of the fiasco surrounding the withdrawn invitation to Iran, whose buy in will be essential for any resolution.

The people of the Cayman Islands also had serious concerns regarding the true intentions of the United Kingdom in connection with the collapse of the Euro Bank case and the unsavoury role of the United Kingdom in that fiasco, including the questionable behaviour of the former general prosecutor.

Yet at both the global and national levels, energy is poorly governed. The fiasco of the Copenhagen climate summit is just one illustration of how far the world is from being able to bring about the desperately needed transition to a system of sustainable and secure provision of energy services.

The Bush administration s habits of falsehood have undone its aggressive proclivities, leaving a gaping vacuum. The doctrine according to which great powers, many of them nuclear armed, try to stop lesser powers from acquiring nuclear weapons by force and threats of force a fiasco in Iraq, nuclear armed North Korea, and now Iran has reached a dead end.

WASHINGTON, DC China s success in establishing the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank has been widely regarded as a diplomatic fiasco for the United States. After discouraging all US allies from joining the AIIB, President Barack Obama s administration watched as Great Britain led a raft of Western European countries, followed by Australia and South Korea, into doing just that.

But Europe is not alone in its estrangement from the United States under President George W. Bush's leadership. Among the vast list of unforeseen consequences springing from the US fiasco in Iraq is the vital fact that, across Latin America, anti Americanism is on the rise and is rapidly generating myriad grim effects on the region's politics.

The doctrine according to which great powers, many of them nuclear armed, try to stop lesser powers from acquiring nuclear weapons by force and threats of force a fiasco in Iraq, nuclear armed North Korea, and now Iran has reached a dead end. But, report or no report, the danger that Iran will acquire nuclear weapons is real, and may even have increased.

This is a blessing for the system as a whole since the delinquency in submitting reports under that Convention was so great that one very experienced observer characterized the situation as a fiasco C. Tomuschat, Human Rights, States Reports , in R. Wolfrum and C. Philip (eds.), United Nations Law, Policies and Practice (Munich, Beck and Dordrecht, Martinus Nijhoff, 1995), vol. 1, p. 631.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel resisted all proposals to provide relief to Spain and Italy from the excessive risk premiums that both countries are now confronting. As a result, the EU s upcoming summit could turn into a fiasco, which may well prove lethal, because it would leave the rest of the eurozone without a strong enough financial firewall to protect it from the possibility of a Greek exit.

But Netanyahu has stubbornly insisted that the agreement is a strategic fiasco, citing its ambiguities in matters such as the mechanism of inspection, the number of centrifuges Iran will be allowed to maintain, and the conditions for re imposing sanctions if Iran breaches the accord. In pursuing this course, Netanyahu has not only missed the opportunity to claim a major diplomatic victory he has also reinforced Israel s international isolation.

The idea that the British set any kind of standard for bank conduct was exploded by last year s Libor scandal, while the fiasco at RBS destroyed the notion that UK officials know how to handle a failing bank. And now the PRA has confirmed that the British authorities do not even have a firm grip on the basics of regulating capital that is, determining how much equity is safe for large complex global financial institutions.

BRUSSELS As Europe picks over the ruins of the mega merger that would have created a world beating new aerospace and defense giant, questions are being asked about the inglorious role that the European Union played in the fiasco. The European Commission s failure to champion the 50 billion merger of the Franco German European Aeronautic Defence and Space Company (EADS), owner of Airbus, and the United Kingdom s BAE Systems is being seen as a crucial factor in the deal s collapse.
