France: No Troops for Iraq if Kerry Wins

Recommended Posts

A French official said Saturday that even if Sen. John Kerry defeats President Bush in November's election, his country won't provide troops to help the U.S. in Iraq - the same policy France has under President Bush.

"If Kerry is elected, we wouldn't send troops either," the unnamed official told the New York Daily News. "We don't need any more targets in Iraq."

Story Continues Below

The warning that even a President Kerry will have to "go it alone in Iraq" as far as France is concerned flies in the face of a key part of the candidate's Iraq strategy.

The top Democrat has been boasting for months that if he wins the White House, he'll persuade America's old European allies like France to pitch in and send troops to Iraq.

But the French official explained that in lieu of sending troops, France would continue to help train Iraqi police for the upcoming elections in January - just as they're doing now with Bush in office.

Try and read up a bit more. They agreed to help AFTER ALL FIGHTING has ceased.

Why not help us from the get go ???? Simple, because they knew we would find out about their involvement with the Oil For Food scandals.
