PARIS, Nov 8 (Reuters) - Many Europeans welcomed President George W. Bush's resounding defeat in mid-term U.S. elections, hoping the resurgent Democrats would help end ugly rifts that have soured trans-Atlantic relations in recent years.
However, analysts said U.S. foreign policy was unlikely to change overnight, especially in Iraq, and warned that the Democrats might prove more awkward to deal with than the beaten Republicans in areas such as international trade.

The Socialist Group in the European Parliament, the second largest bloc following the conservative grouping, hailed the election result, saying Bush had been "seriously weakened".
A warning to Europe......be careful of what you wish for!
What exactly is a European nowadys?
A: You are now the front line.
Let the Europeans know what the dems really stand for....they asked for it....
My question is, why are we supposed to care?
I didn't see Bush on my ballot.
A warning to Europe......be careful of what you wish for!

As predicted, Al-Reuters is in true form. Europe will get its due...I think the countdown until their first real big 9/11 has started...especially if we lose the Senate, the Islamofascists have been emboldened and it won't be long. They know they will get no resistance from a socialist American government and they are banking on that.
Europe is going Muslim. They will regret not helping us.
BTW, President Bush has not been defeated. It won't take long for people to realize the mistake they made giving the TERRORIST democrat party power back.
BIG MISTAKE.
Wait a minute. Nobody told me Bush was standing for election this year. When did the constitution get changed? I thought we elected Presidents for four years. I wish people would warn me about these changes.
My response was, "I don't f***ing welcome this. It's a victory for ragheads and wankers."

Euro Newsflash: President Bush was not running for office
Try fighting your own battles now, Europe.....without U.S.
I suppose we have to immediately load our boys onto the ships - and get out of Europe, Middle East and South Korea, let the fzzzers who do not like us anyway fend for themselves, we have to concentrate developing Latin America and on protecting ourselves and our only true ally, Japan, in this fast disintegrating world.
Europe? In a few generations, they wont even recognize themselves. Who cares what they think.
'What exactly is a European nowadys?'
They are the people that God saw fit to separate from England by 22 miles of clear blue water. Amen!
Misery loves company.
They wrap their heads in towels and pray to a moongod five times a day.
I'm more upbeat than most today. If the left wants to defund the war on terror, the President can veto the budget. The Republicans can filibuster in the Senate. Shut down the government. We have the tools to win if we decide to use them.
