Foreign Governments - Helping - 'Oh NO'

German Chancellor Schroeder advises Condi Rice "We have a lot of experience with building functional institutions for countries, not just ministries but institutions for civil areas as well and this is the kind of assistance that we would like to make available to the Iraqi government if it is desired".

Wonder if John Kerry, who indicates he knows the pulse of other governments, saw this coming -- and how do you believe Teddy and Boxer feel? Condi has been on the job a short while and has already gotten additional support from governments that were less then thrilled about our action in Iraq. Shucks Teddy, your wrong again -- the election went well, to your dismay, and now Condi is proving she will do what she said and be effective at it - pass the liquor.

And after talks with Rice in Berlin, Schroeder said Germany was prepared to extend its training programmes for the Iraqi police and military which are currently taking place in the United Arab Emirates.

Amazingly, the world knows what the likes of Teddy, Boxer, and Kerry do not -- let's move forward with assisting democracy and stability and finish this thing in Iraq. Alas, it simply is not in them (Teddy, Boxer, Pelosi, Kerry, etc.), they know nothing about rebuilding, unifying, healing -- except the words -- their actions show they only know how to attack, tear down, and divide.
