Bush Says He Harbors No Bitterness Toward Chirac

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Bush says he has no bitterness toward French President Jacques Chirac after their tussle over Iraq, but he is taking issue with a Chirac notion that a united Europe would serve as a counterbalance to the United States.
...
"I don't feel bitter, personally," Bush said of Chirac, who was the chief Iraq war opponent in Europe. Bush and Chirac will have a working dinner in Brussels.

But he questioned the Chirac-advocated idea of the need for a "multipolar world," diplomatic code language for a united Europe balancing out the United States.

"Some have said, 'Well, we must have a unified Europe to balance America.' Why, when in fact we share values and goals?...Why don't we view this as a moment where we can move forward in a concerted fashion to achieve those goals?"

:spank: typo corrected

Trade with the US is VITAL.

By the way I'm sure Mr. Chirac is eternally grateful that the mass murderer harbours no grudge. :puke:

-------------------------

Remember Fallujah

Bush to The Hague!

I recall that a year or so ago, the French government formally complained to the US that Bush had launched a media/news campaign to ridicule France and impune France's actions.

:nopity:

oppose Germany's expansion. "We all must unite," he says.

will against Chirac? He thinks he is still in DC surround by toadies that whisper in his ear how "great" he is. The bigger question, and always has been, is how much ill will does the rest of the world still harbor against Bush and his cabal?

Mighty magnanimous of the King to "forgive" his "subjects" when he should be begging for their forgiveness. Anymore talk from this asswipe and we'll be in the middle of World War III. King Chimp is like a cow pattie - only the cow pattie has more personality and is smarter and Chimpy is more repugnant. God how I hate that dimwit, clueless, "moranic," shilling front for a party of assholes.

but I have seen at least a half dozen anti-French bumper stickers.

Maybe Bush should tell his paid consultant Rush Limbaugh to stop attacking the French on his radio show.

What an arrogant POS Bush is!

toward him? The families of those dead soldiers shipped silently into the US, he wants them to hold him no bitterness? Pound sand, Chimpass!

... where we can move forward in a concerted fashion to achieve those goals?"
Because you already destroyed that moment 2 1/2 years ago moran!

It's unretouched for once, much like the grammar of the final quote.

What a dazed lunatic that shrubface is.

... about respect. I'se agonna give ya a second chance ta be a man of honor and ta do right by our Family and youse own family. So try ta remember da code: when ya sees something that ain't youse business, ya keep youse yap shut."

Somehow I find that hard to believe!!! What does he want from Chirac??? Support to attack Syria and Iran!!!

he's over in the European countries telling the world that"his voters elected him"..........so hes going to use his "capital" to say HIS people elected him..............

think bushy boy is going to say he made a major mistake about anything?..guess again..

hes playing nicey to these countries.......so he won't have to fend for himself while visiting..........you know.....keep the real people away from him..squash dissent....

truth be known.........France thinks this so called leader is a freaking idiot.....

as for * saying a united europe is unnecessary, he is saying, 'hey, we're the all powerful, we want to control the reins , we want it all'.... so don't bother with trying to be strong, europe. what a slimey, sneaky, creep * is.

Particularly since Chirac was right all along about Iraq while you were at your delusional, lying best...

bet.

Could you in your wildest dreams imagine what the Reich Wing would be saying if Kerry were visiting the French Leader.

They's be calling him, Jaques Kerry, and the Massachusetts French Fry.

So c'mon Democratic Party. Let's get on the talk shows and hammer the Traitor and Terrorist Lover Bush.
