| Ouch, This’ll Leave A Mark |
| 2003-12-12 |
| President Bush yesterday fiercely defended his decision to bar France, Germany, Russia and Canada from Iraq reconstruction contracts, defying a furious outcry from allies and even objections from GOP and conservative leaders. Bush said even a decision by countries such as France and Germany to forgive Iraqi debt would not enable them to compete for the contracts in Iraq. And he was derisive when asked about German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder’s remark that "international law must apply here," saying: "International law? I better call my lawyer; he didn’t bring that up to me." The media will hate it, but I’ll bet the voters love it. |
