Don’t Count on it, Kerry

No French or German turn on Iraq

French and German government officials say they will not significantly increase military assistance in Iraq even if John Kerry, the Democratic presidential challenger, is elected on November 2.

Mr Kerry, who has attacked President George W. Bush for failing to broaden the US-led alliance in Iraq, has pledged to improve relations with European allies and increase international military assistance in Iraq.

Seems Kerry’s ‘plan’ for Iraq is not something he, or anyone else, can count on.

Well, Kerry should have a brand new position on Iraq by this time tomorrow.

  1. This isn’t going to change Kerry’s rhetoric. He’s in his own little La-La land. He’s hiding at the “House on the Rock” in Spring Green, WI. Anyone need directions? Maybe a little Victory Vigil outside. He’ll hate to see signs praising the troops and thanking them for their service.

  2. Hey PCD – I don’t live too far from House on the Rock – - I’d be willing! :D

  3. He’s “quietly preparing” for the debate on Thursday. Probably going through all of his past flip-flops, and picking the one of the week.

  4. I wonder if there are any Protest Warrior groups we could link up with. I’ll make a Kerry Lied, POWs Died sign.

  5. This must have crushed him!:twisted::mrgreen:I laughed my ass off at this!

  6. It’s funny that Bush has alientated the US — and, therefore Iraq — from the rest of the world? You have no grasp of the danger the US is in.

    How long do any of you really think we (the US) will be in Iraq?

    Bush is doing for the Army what Custer did for the 7th Cav.

  7. It very well could be as long as we have been in Europe. What is your point?

  8. Tell me, dg, please, prior to the Iraq invasion, just who were these loyal allies who stood with us before we “alienated” them? ‘Bout the only friends I’ve seen stand with us pre-Iraq to post-Iraq are the Brits, the Aussies, the Israelis, and to a lesser extent the Italians and Japanese. Who stood with us before Iraq who’s not doing so now? The French, the Germans? Get real.

  9. Remeber when Bush tried to pawn this crap about WMD,s in Iraq, al-Qaeda in Iraq, Saddam’s immanent threat, etc.

    The French and the Germans wanted to give inspections a chance to work, maybe a war wouldn’t be necessary…

    …Oops! Bush went any way, insulting “Old Europe” only to find out that the French and Germans were right to show caution.

    Aren’t you embarrassed that the French were RIGHT and dumbass Bush was WRONG?

    Now we’re stuck.

    What — do you just pick out parts of history you like and then bend it in your mind to make it fit in Bush’s ass?

  10. How many Americans are fighting and dying in Europe, peejz?

  11. “give them a little more time, you rush to war.. i mean 12 years? you need at least 30 years of trying failed inspections”.

    and we have found terrorist links and even nabbed soem terrorists in the US based on intel from iraq.

  12. Excuse me, but refuting Da union Goon with facts and history is useless because he won’t accept anything that disagrees with the union hall. You can prove to him all day that France and Germany were the Halliburton of the Oil for Saddams palaces and weapons fund, and he won’t believe you.

    Maybe Saddam’s killers were unionized. Da union Goon won’t condemn a fellow union, and when their jobs were taken away by the US Military, Da union Goon lost his mind. It doesn’t matter that the Iraqi Thug Guild killed innocent people for Saddam’s pleasure. Those were UNION JOBS, and that’s all the matters to Da union Goon.

  13. PCD, Is this the image that comes to mind?

  14. Sasha, that was hilarious!

  15. I’m going to have to tip the artist. My first visit had me on the floor laughing so hard I could hardly breathe.

  16. Actually, I think of the longshoremen Union thugs in “Eraser” with Arnold in the scene where Arnold with his “Erased” witness from the Witness Protection Program enlists the Union Goons to go after the bad guys before they can transport advanced weapons to foreign powers.

  17. dg, take a look at Normandy!

    We have had our troops overseas since WW2!

  18. dg, how many Americans are fighting and dying in Europe??? all I have to say it Been there, done that!!! they have us to thank for their freedom… Or I wonder what it would have been like under Nazi rule today??? “the German Union” Hmmm??? :shock: sprechen ze Deutsche??? :neutral:

  19. Hey, Wally,

    how many WMD’s were found in 12 years?

    PCD:

    Duh! U Need A History Lesson

    peejz,

    Americans are not at war in Europe — yet!

    madbarr

    Talk to Bush about that Nazi thing

  20. dg, did you even read the source you posted??? so you’re saying that because an elder bush, that had ONE share in a bank that was owned by a Dutch Bank that did business with a hitler supporter, so that makes the elder bush (granddad) a hitler supporter… ? :lol: :neutral::shock::roll: that is so conspiracy theorist even for you… read the article, and it tells you there was no evidence in any document of any involvement of the elder bush… you’re still a troll… moron.

  21. “troll & moron”
    it’s fascinating that even when the facts tell the story, personal attacks are deemed necessary.
    now i admit i’ve told pcd he probably has a small penis, but that’s a special case, as everyone knows. i thought, at the beginning, you were better than that, madbarr.
    apparently, again, i was wrong.

  22. Prescot Bush was Director of Union Banking Corp when it’s assets were siezed by the US Government for “trading with the enemy”! And that one share netted Grandpa Bush $1,500,000 in reimbursments!

    Get the facts — moron

  23. shiloh, dg is a troll and lacks the mental capacity to do anything but spout conspiracy theories… so what I said was true.

    and also, shiloh, sticks and stones mate… I really don’t care what your opinion is of me… I speak my mind and call it how I see it. and since I was referring to dg… anyway, there you have it… don’t feel the need to defend my self, never claimed to be a saint.
