If you go back in time .... France and Germany were vieing for the leadership of the EU. France went left on us to gain sympath of eurpeans (left news media) and preempted Germany for "moral" leadership of the EU. This whole no Iraq thing is about money and power for France in the EU. Was a stunning move and very bold for France.... it also pissed Germany off to no end.... They are still playing Catch up..... clearly they are profitering in a number of areas like Oil for Food ..... by the way Anan son is in the leadership of that deal some how..... so.... dad is as well.... Why do you think he took us on ..... did we quid pro quo him...... did power offer him a deal... interesting speculation...
but we must focus on the here and now...... Kerry, Rather gate.... and 4 more years.....
Just what one would expect from an ally.
