No French or German turn on Iraq
French and German government officials say they will not significantly increase military assistance in Iraq even if John Kerry, the Democratic presidential challenger, is elected on November 2. Mr Kerry, who has attacked President George W. Bush for failing to broaden the US-led alliance in Iraq, has pledged to improve relations with European allies and increase international military assistance in Iraq. "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.
"Mr. Howell! Mr. Howell!"
"What is it, Gilligan?"
"The Frenchies and the Fritzies say they won't cooperate even if you're elected, sir!"
"Well! We'll just see about that! Lovey! Speak French to them!"
