[QUOTE]Originally posted by glassman: [QB] http://www.washingtontimes.com/national/20040908-123000-1796r_page2.htm your anti-europe rhetoric is stale... partially because everybody is guilty of trading in illicit arms around the globe.... [b]French connection armed Saddam By Bill Gertz THE WASHINGTON TIMES September 8, 2004 ..... Backing down Pentagon hard-liners on France, led by Rumsfeld and Wolfowitz, carried the day early in the war, but accommodationists within the upper councils of the Bush administration took control as the conflict went on. Among those who took a softer position on France was National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice, the former Stanford provost who surrounded herself with State Department officials and Foreign Service officers. Rumsfeld drew a great deal of attention on Jan. 22, 2003 -- and created a backlash within the State Department -- when he let fly a verbal salvo against France and Germany for not siding with the United States, describing them as "old Europe" during a meeting with foreign reporters. Rumsfeld also criticized French and German political leaders for making policy based not on "their honest conviction as to what their country ought to do" but on opinion polls that reflected ever-shifting public sentiments. As the accommodationists in the Bush administration gained the upper hand, Rumsfeld and others were ordered to tone down the anti-Europe rhetoric. By late last year, the defense secretary's critics within the Foreign Service were crowing that Rumsfeld had been "tamed."[/b] [/QB][/QUOTE]
