W * was WRONG!! German Turn-around means "Europe Will Rally to Kerry!"

[WiseMen]

Know-it-all anchors have been insisting that "we all know that
the French and the Germans won't help even if Kerry is elected!"

No we don't!

Edwards was hammered with this on the Sunday programs, and buckled.

We need to flood the major channels (CBS, ABC, NBC CNN, MSNBC, Fox) with calls for them to report likely turn-around in support being reported in the Financial Times. Great to get this as
discussion topic morning shows.

(see media list:

for addresses.)

This directly contradicts Bush's debate rant. Could be huge.

Germany in rethink on Iraq force deployment

Germany might deploy troops in Iraq if conditions there change, Peter Struck, the German defence minister, indicated on Tuesday in a gesture that appears to provide backing for John Kerry, the US Democratic presidential challenger.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Mr Struck also welcomed Mr Kerry’s proposal that he would convene an international conference on Iraq including countries that opposed the war if he were to win next month's election.
Germany would certainly attend, Mr Struck said. “This is a very sensible proposal. The situation in Iraq can only be cleared up when all those involved sit together at one table. Germany has taken on responsibilities in Iraq, including financial ones; this would naturally justify our involvement in such a conference.”

1. Once this becomes a hot topic, the FRENCH will also mumble support

for Kerry proposal.
