Father tonto. How are you? lorne is on a mission to denigrate Islam. You are on a mission to seek the truth. What else is new? What do you think about Bush sabre rattling in Europe. They are showing him the finger is it not? He seems to be commanding them and telling all of then how bad they all are. He is sounding more like the President of Iraq and he is least bit bothered that the US economy gets screwed when he opens his mouth. The "oil weapon" continues to be a very effective weapon by the world against the US. I wonder if Bush thinks that he has the mandate from the American people to start another war. I understood that the American people have traditionally not voted out a President when a war is on. And that is because they want the President to bring the war to a successful end. Is that happening? Stay tuned.

But as President Bush nears the end of his goodwill tour of Europe this week, it is increasingly clear the attitude has shifted. With the United States pinned down in Iraq, where the continued deployment of nearly 150,000 troops has severely strained the U.S. military, European leaders no longer expect further military expeditions in Bush's second term. And so they have been gracious -- but assertive, thus reflecting how far the United States has fallen from "hyperpower" status -- a term coined about America by French Foreign Minister Hubert Vedrine. ..read the rest at msnbc.msn.com My comment: So much for the Bush foreign policy successes. His current visit o Europe is nothing but hollow rhetoric. He has indeed succeeded in taking the US down the precipice.
