And the cause of that problem is Bush. Well and his neoconservative buddies. Had they done the PR portion of their work better, France would not be able to play that role in public opinion


You are beginning to sound like Democratic version of the "Clinton Haters" in 98, John. And no amount of "PR" would have changed the outcome. I think you will agree that we have not had a much better advocate of the US position in place than Powell. But he can't sell a position to the French that the French refuse to buy. China and Russia are not part of Europe and NATO, and are not expected to be on our side. The French are the ones that everyone points to.

But in order to have an invasion, the Bush folk have to have a significant portion of the country supporting them.

That's right. And they do. And after Powell's performance, they have even a bigger majority with them. I know this is hard for you to swallow, but the polls show it's true.

Let's face it. They will never get the liberal commentators or the liberal media to support them, no matter what they do.

Hard work for Powell. Particularly if Bush keeps popping off. (Just threw that one in to get you a bit steamed.)

Hey, it's Powell's job to bring them around. And I am not steamed, you "Bush Hater" you! :>)
