UK and U.S. 'Must Learn from Iraq Crisis'

[dArKeR]

By Andrew Woodcock, Political Correspondent, PA News

Europe and America must never again allow themselves to be divided as they were in the crisis over Iraq, German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder said in an interview broadcast today.

Mr Schroeder was an outspoken opponent of last year’s military action, and said he saw no reason to drop his opposition to the doctrine of “pre-emptive war” used by the US and UK to justify the invasion of Iraq.

Speaking shortly after holding private talks with Prime Minister Tony Blair at 10 Downing Street last night, Mr Schroeder said both sides must “learn lessons” from Iraq and be ready to get involved in more dialogue and co-operation in future crises.

1. Like these arrogant jerkoffs are going to learn anything...

they'll always think they were right and everyone else is so wrong.

2. The last time I heard these lines

was from our Iraq war generals saying how we would learn to do it better next time, presumably in Syria, Iran, etc.

The electorate has learned the lessons a lot faster, very different lessons and truer. We're taking a quick quiz on them in November and boot the warlords into the Potomac.
