lsanderson | Washington Monthly... on the Irish Interview... (Reply)

BUSH THE MULTILATERALIST....Speaking on Irish TV last night, President Bush displayed his usual keen grasp of foreign public opinion:

President Bush suggested last night that there were not major differences between the US and Europe over Iraq, but just with France.

France had opposed the US position but "most of Europe supported the decision on Iraq. Most European countries are very supportive and are participating in the reconstruction of Iraq".

Hmmm. I guess that depends on the meanings of "most," "very supportive," and "participating." I wonder which meanings he was thinking of?

UPDATE: The interview is here. It starts at the 15:00 mark.
