See my post #1322.

The other bombshell I learned yesterday is that France and Germany are actually 100% behind the U.S. on this one. Try that one on for size.

whew...I tried it on, I just couldn't make it fit! Their actions don't make any sense at all in that context (except perhaps in a "B" grade spy movie).

France and Germany are geniune in their opposition, nothing else makes the least bit of sense from any angle. And I think Bush really does want their acquiescence to this (he knows he won't get their support). And they sense the power that desire on Bush's part gives them.
