Some Cheese With That Whine?
Didn’t you just know the French would be whining about this? From Agence France Presse: Bush uses France against John Kerry.
COLOMBUS, United States (AFP) - US President George W. Bush is capitalizing on anti-French sentiments that have emerged in the United States since Paris opposed last year’s US-led attack on Iraq, suggesting that opponent John Kerry would give France a veto over US policy.
“The use of troops to defend America must never be subject to veto by countries like France,” Bush said Friday at a rally in Pennsylvania.
Bush’s campaign does not miss the opportunity to stress that Kerry speaks French and has family ties to France, and that the Massachusetts senator often refers to France when he talks about how the US has lost respect in the world since Bush became president in 2001.
