Good thing the Moolaws are idiots. If they were smart, they'd make noises about going for such a deal. Why slam their best bet now?
Yes, they seem to be quite demented. They have made outrageous demands of the Europeans, they have literally taunted us, and basically acted like they had no regard for the fact that we have armed forces located on their east, west, and south.
In this case, they could have just said nothing and would have left Senator Kerry's ultraliberal base at least with a position, but they decided to undercut him also.
Well, it's good for us. We can add this to our long list of why Senator Kerry's positions are so clearly wrongheaded and dangerous.
