President-elect of EU criticises ’arrogant’ America
EFL & emphasis added via BOLD
José Manuel Barroso, the outgoing Portuguese prime minister who has been nominated as president of the failing and vacuous European Commission, on Tuesday criticised the US for its occasional "arrogance" and sought to distance himself from some of his recent domestic policies by underlining his social and environmental credentials.
He distanced himself from his own policies? How does that work? Is that like: "I voted for for it, before I voted against it"?
Questioned on Portugal’s involvement in the US-led war coalition in Iraq, on the first day of hearings before the European parliament, Mr Barroso said that, while he was a long-standing admirer of the US, he also hated what he described as American "arrogance" and "unilateralism". He added: "I think there are magnificent things that exist in the US as well as some fairly horrific things."
Note the word Coalition.
Then note note how he hates our Unilateralism.
