"Does that mean allies are going to trade their young for our young in body bags? I know they are not. I know that," he said. Asked about that statement later, Mr. Kerry said, "When I was referring to that, I was really talking about Germany and France and some of the countries that had been most restrained." "Other countries are obviously more willing to accept responsibilities," he added...

Let's see, we already have the U.K., Australia, Poland, Italy, and more than two dozen other countries with troops on the ground, plus other countries are supplying intelligence and logistical support (and possibly financial, as well). Then we have France and Germany saying they won't send troops, no matter who is in the White House.

So who is left? Is Kerry promising to get the Belgians on our side? Lichtenstein? Andorra? Who? And without this self-delusional fantasy masquerading as a foreign-policy substitute for the Bush Doctrine, what does Kerry have left to hang his hat on?

And lastly, why did Kerry admit this after the foreign policy debate given the fact that the Germans and French made their positions public the week before? Someone needs to pose that question to Kerry in a public forum and make him squirm for all the electorate to see

But of course, we know his answer to these and all other questions: HALLIBURTON!!!!

"...and more than two dozen other countries with troops on the ground, plus other countries are supplying intelligence and logistical support"

Hm... last time I´ve checked, Rhein-Main AFB, Bremerhaven,
and Ramstein, etc... still used to be in Germany.

"Then we have France and Germany saying they won't send troops, no matter who is in the White House."

Logistical support for Iraq is something different than
sending troops, but it`s still a support.
German troops are serving in Afghanistan, german Navy is
controlling the Horn of Africa, instead & for your guys,
while they are in Iraq.

The problem is that most Germans differ between the WOT
and the war in Iraq.
Sending troops to Iraq would be a political suicide
for *every* german party/goverment.

One "positive" aspect for you:

Most Germans don`t like G.w., but they don`t trust Kerry
either...
