Exactly. This past week both France and Germany said that even if Kerry won the election they weren't going to send troops to Iraq.
IMO that's a torpedo amidship to Kerry's election.
Well but this isnt just about france and germany.. A lot of countries have said that if the UN is given more authority in Iraq that they will commit troops. Its not just a question of socialism. Many people in the world dont want their armies to fight under a US banner. Look at afghanistan.. arent other countries participating there under the UN umbrella?
