France/Germany Bail on Kerry
Uh-oh. Kerry better get a new strategy for Iraq as France & Germany just said they won't put troops in Iraq even if Kerry wins.
"I cannot imagine that there will be any change in our decision not to send troops, whoever becomes president," Gert Weisskirchen, member of parliament and foreign policy expert for Germany's ruling Social Democratic Party, said in an interview.
Michel Barnier, the French foreign minister, said last week that France, which has tense relations with interim prime minister Iyad Allawi, had no plans to send troops "either now or later".
