Hah hah, Biden says the French and Germans will come along because they won't have Bush as an excuse anymore. Yep, that'll do it.
First the French and Germans don't have the military assets to spare. They can't even meet their troop commitments in Afghanistan. Both countries are spending less each year as a percentage of GDP on defense because they have to fund their social welfare system and an aging population. Moreobver, I don't think the French and Germans want to put their people in harms way in Iraq. It just wouldn't work domestically.
