Kerry | No European Help For Kerry

The Financial Times reports that French and German government officials say they will not significantly increase military assistance in Iraq even if Kerry wins the election.

But, but, but… I thought everyone in the world except us USians wanted to support Kerry?

I guess Kerry spoke too soon when he said we should let the French replace us in Iraq.

I know that it seems that the math hasn’t been worked out yet as to how Kerry could replace Bush and manage to clean up Iraq.

If you’d like to try a simulation, check out the free game on my website, where Bush and Kerry take turns fighting terror.

I can’t decide if it is Kerry or his staff that is missing their brain. France and Germany both have said over and over again that they will NOT send troops to Iraq. Yet Kerry keeps preaching that in his efforts to fight a “more sensitive” war, he will involve France and Germany. Maybe he thinks in his mind that since he is so wonderful that the Europeans will come running to his side if he gets elected. My advice to him is to keep his mouth shut on this issue during the debate or Bush will tear him apart. Drop it Kerry, if you build it, they WON‘T come!

Kerry retaliates by converting to Protestantism.

Very clever, FF...but you forgot to code in the French and UN tanks that stop in front of Bush’s tank, block his progress, then give the attackers a free lift to the White House.

Let us know when the updated version is out.

FF,

I did notice that if I “accidentally” ran J.K.’s tank into one of the terrorists, America Won!!

Intentional glitch?
