Bravo to President Bush for standing up to those stuck-up Europeans. The same self-righteous countries that said Bush started a war for oil are now whining that they can't get prime contracts. However, Bush needs to be far more confrontational with the Europeans.

"I have a duty to protect this country," Mr. Bush said. "And I will continue to protect the country so long as I'm the president of the United States." Winning words against the Demonrat weasel candidates.

"I want to stress again that the [debt relief] mechanisms are very flexible and provide for measures to restructure and ease the obligations of debtor countries," Mr. Fedotov said."
Is this the same Russia whom American tax payers bailed out several times over the last 10 or so years? \
Hmmm.
