A German speaking for "Europe". MSM SOP.
Sounds like a bad first date. Europe only wants to date Kerry to make their ex-boy friend jealous. Now they're worried he's going to want something.
Id rather complain about my brother-in-law than have lunch with my sister.
"He fails to explain how he would suddenly manage to draw other allies to Iraq. That's not convincing. He fails to say how he would do it in concrete terms," said Bruno Tertrais, analyst at the Foundation for Strategic Research in Paris.

No kidding.
Kerry and his wishful thinking strikes again. He's a laughingstock.
However, I don't think Kerry will be able to use the trick that France used to get US into Vietnam to get France into Iraq and then leave.
Kerry is unwittingly calling their bluff. France and Germany don't want to send troops, under ANY circumstances. The would also miss Bush as their favorite whipping-boy to rally their own voters. They know the US will them bail out when needed. At least under Bush we would.
Sometimes I think that the most fitting punishment to my liberal opponents would be for then to get everything they want - a world of John Kerry, Jimmy Carter, Kofi Annan, etc. That would teach them all very quickly how bad a world that would be. But I'd have to live in that world too. It would be a fitting punishment or them - getting everything they think they want - but i don't want to have to suffer thorugh it too.
Old Europe: Be careful what you wish for. If Kerry wins, arent you going to feel a little adrift without the US backup you could always count on before? Unless spitballs make you feel confident.
I mean forged Nigerian documents on Iraq uranium yellowcake purchase.......sales of weapons in violation of UN sanctions....verbal promise to US diplomats that are then reneged upon....ah yes how FRENCH...
"...it might be more comfortable for European governments if he were reelected..."
...and in Europe, as in underwear, comfort comes first!
"Psssstt... Asia! Can you tell Europe I like her? I like her alot..."
wow. So if Kerry is elected some Europeans might then feel compelled to assist the U.S? Assist with what, spitballs? Let these toothless doves sit on their hands and grumble. They are of no use to us.
But make no mistake, their weakness has not escaped the enemy's attention. If you negotiate with terrorists, you set yourself up for further "negotiations".
Spain, Italy, and France, you are now the soft targets of terrorism. Good luck.
Perfect!
"But I'd have to live in that world too. It would be a fitting punishment or them - getting everything they think they want - but i don't want to have to suffer thorugh it too."
There ya go! Neither do I. We'll just plug away and get Bush re-elected. Save the "what ifs" for 08....

Poor frogs...since the downfall of Saddam their prices have skyrocketed!
Has anyone thought that Kerry might actually restart the draft and then tell our European "friends" that we actually do not need their help?
