Iraqi Leader Asks Help of 'Spectator' Nations
The whores have gone a beggin'....

Published: November 5, 2004

ROME, Nov. 4 - Iraq's interim prime minister, Ayad Allawi, appealed Thursday to what he called the "spectator" countries in the war in Iraq - specifically France and Germany - to become more involved in creating peace and prosperity there.

"I want to take this opportunity to call on the countries which are content to have a spectator role, to help us build a better Iraq," Mr. Allawi told reporters in Rome, where he stopped on the eve of a meeting in Brussels with European Union leaders. Asked afterward if he was referring to France and Germany, strong critics of the American-led war, he told Agence France-Presse, "Yes."

4. They will
They've already made it clear they have no intention of getting involved in Bush's mess.

They made a public statement just before the election.

Even if Kerry won, they had no intention of helping bail Bush's ass out.

5. Last Iraqi poll
He had the support of less than 20% of the country.

Saddam had the support of 48% of the country.

Every single Islamic cleric polled higher than Allawi.
