Europe Offers Help Privately, Kerry Says Senator says nations alluded to sending more troops to Iraq 'given the right statesmanship.'
By Matea Gold, Times Staff Writer
WASHINGTON ? Sen. John F. Kerry said Friday that despite public declarations from France and other European countries that they would not send troops to Iraq, there were indications some of the nations would be willing to change course with the right diplomatic effort.
"There are senators and ? diplomats who have had conversations with other folks that I think indicate that ? given the right equation, given the right statesmanship and leadership ? it is possible to have a very different level of participation," Kerry said Friday at his Washington campaign headquarters.
"I know what the public statements are today," the presumed Democratic presidential nominee added. "It doesn't deter me one iota from saying what I say, based on what my private conversations have been."

Oh, I am sure! The right statesmanship - like dropping the Oil for Food investigation maybe?
Doesn't he understand they are the real "biggest bunch of crooked liers."

My thought exactly. The giggles over his previous remarks are just dying down, and he comes out with his. If I were his campaign manager, I'd be calling a suicide hotline about now.

See how W. could still win with lousy approvals? Kerry loses no opportunity to step into the manure pile.

Europe Offers Help Privately, Kerry Says Senator says nations alluded to sending more troops to Iraq 'given the right statesmanship.' Something's rotten in Denmark. Kerry needs to be deported to one of those oh so helpful nations.
