We blew it up, we'll fix it
The European Union is asking the World Trade Organization to determine if the U.S. policy of excluding the countries that did not back us (excuse me, the coalition) in the war in Iraq from bidding for reconstruction contracts, is legal, and if it violates any WTO rules. The WTO also wants to review these contracts to determine whether national security exemptions should apply.
These folks still don't get it. Let me explain it once again.
"There's a new sheriff in town, and he will not cower to your ridiculous whims and your perceived ethical, social and political superiority like his predecessor."
The EU and WTO need to get on board or shut up.
A treacherous side note: Remember this?
The French are directly, 100%, responsible for killing Americans.

The U.S. is only restricting the contracts to coalition members for the $37 billion that is being contributed by U.S. taxpayers. We have no restrictions upon the monies donated to rebuilding Iraq by other countries.
Yes, we have a President who says what he means, and means what he says. He doesn't continue to threaten, he just follows through with what he has said.
I'm proud to say that I voted for him, from Polk County, Florida. Yes, my vote counted. Polk County was already computerized. Remember those fill in the circle completely tests? Yes, I did, it was counted, and a back-up paper vote is available for re-counts. But that's another story, isn't it?
I remember the "fill in the circle completely tests", and you are right - the back-up paper vote is another story. You should tell it.
