Europe to Kerry: 'Dream On'
From the International Herald Tribune:
No. And there were never going to be. That was NEVER realistic. We couldn't even get Germany on board in a meaningful way for the First Gulf War, which did have UN backing.
It's much appreciated and helpful presence in Afghanistan notwithstanding, Germany simply has no appetite for foreign adventures. Which is as it should be.
More, from a South German newspaper:
No, there won't. Kerry is deluding himself if he thinks there's going to be a Deus Ex Machina of altruistic Europeans and other nations coming to bail us out, even as he or his campaign 1.) screeches about what an awful situation it is, 2.) Denounces the Prime Minister of Iraq--on whose percieved legitimacy we rely--as a Bush "puppet," 3.) Goes on and on about how Iraq was 'the wrong war in the wrong place at the wrong time, 4.) Argues--as his sister (and member of his campaign staff) did--that standing with the United States makes their citizenry less safe, and 5.) Badmouths our coalition partners, calling them "a coalition of the coerced and the bribed" (and while so doing, undermines their chances for reelection.)
If I were a European leader, I wouldn't touch that with a three meter pole.
More:
No.
He doesn't deserve one.

Early in September, a German official, asked privately by a visitor if Kerry's claim of good relations with Europe could get him a German military presence in Iraq, stifled a guffaw; an explicit response, but wordless, and difficult to transcribe.
.
But last week, just after Kerry's major speech on the war in which he insisted that the United States "must make Iraq the world's responsibility" and that others "should share the burden," Schröder's sense of courtesy collided with reality and he drove a spike into the notion. He told reporters, "We won't send any German soldiers to Iraq, and that's where it's going to remain."
No. And there were never going to be. That was NEVER realistic. We couldn't even get Germany on board in a meaningful way for the First Gulf War, which did have UN backing.
It's much appreciated and helpful presence in Afghanistan notwithstanding, Germany simply has no appetite for foreign adventures. Which is as it should be.
More, from a South German newspaper:
As for the Democrat, Süddeutsche said Kerry "is suggesting that he can produce a little miracle and seduce America's battered friends into high-yield performances along the lines of Washington's wishes." For all of Kerry's opportunity to create a foreign policy with greater credibility and legitimacy, that was not realistic, it said. Schröder couldn't send Bundeswehr troops to Iraq, and there would be "no morning-after special gift for a President Kerry."
No, there won't. Kerry is deluding himself if he thinks there's going to be a Deus Ex Machina of altruistic Europeans and other nations coming to bail us out, even as he or his campaign 1.) screeches about what an awful situation it is, 2.)

Hello, I have a fairly new website that has been online for about 8 months. I am doing research as per a fellow website owner suggested to gather information about delivering good content to my visitors. I lokked at alot of websites that are in my area decor horse rack towel . But was told to search the blogs that I could gather more information then just people trying to sale you something. I have done the internet MLM thing and really got disgusted at the whole thing. So my wife and I thought since we love horses we should build a website around that. We have done preety good so far but I always want to improve. I didn;t realize it would be so time consuming though. But we love it and hope to improve and offer some of the best recourses and products available. Hence the search for content new products and information about what we have.
Thank you for your BLOG.

Many speeding tickets are issued in so-called speed traps, where police officers or state troopers effectively hide their cars and lie in wait for speedy passers-by. Also, many city, state, and country roads have varying speed limits that can serve as excellent speed traps for law enforcement patrols waiting to issue speeding tickets to drivers unaware of the correct speed limit.

Blogs stand out because a lot of them people don't try and sale so much as to write about things that they enjoy or what they like to do.
Most of which comes out in there writing.

My site has removable white gold tooth and is all affiliate merchandise.

We are begining to make some good money selling removable white gold tooth related articles but I also want to offer my customers some quality information to go along with good deals. If you make it to my site and can offer some constructive critisizm I will take it into consideration or if you have some ideas it will be greatly appreciated. Remember we are on a budget and we do all the work ourselves. We have alot to offer in this general area removable white gold tooth and building. Thank you for your time.

Just checking out blogs and thought I would stop and read yours since we have some of the same interests and ideas. Some of the ideas are a little much and some are right on. I am glad I stopped by just to say hi I hope you don't mind. Some people consider it spam ( I DON'T ) but if you don't want people to post why do they leave it open for the world to see. I have some great wedding information and articles available for free around 2000 savings ideas so stop on in if you want... I also have some of the most informative sites on yoga and baby gifts and baby showers. Hope you enjoy Thank you for your time.wright-skinner wedding photos
