INTERNATIONAL ENDORSEMENTS OF NOTE

o World Opinion Favors Kerry:
"CNN's Richard Quest, who recently returned from a tour of the U.S., said: "There are vast numbers of people, especially in Europe, that are looking at the United States' population and cannot understand how they want to re-elect George W. Bush. It is a simple fact.''"

o Iran Endorses Bush:
"Historically, Democrats have harmed Iran more than Republicans, said Hasan Rowhani, head of the Supreme National Security Council, Iran's top security decision-making body. "

o UK Envoy Says Al Qaeda Supports Bush:
"The Foreign Office was thrown into turmoil yesterday after the British ambassador to Rome, Sir Ivor Roberts, described President George Bush as 'the best recruiting sergeant ever for al-Qaida'.

His comment, made at a closed conference of about 100 British and Italian diplomats, politicians and journalists in Tuscany, was leaked to an Italian newspaper, provoking embarrassment in London.

According to one of those present, Sir Ivor had been taking part in a discussion on which candidate Europeans would back if they had a vote in the US election. The ambassador said they would vote for Mr Kerry but some people would want Mr Bush, not least al-Qaida.

'If anyone is ready to celebrate the eventual re-election of Bush, it's al-Qaida. Whereas it is clear that the Palestinians hope that a Kerry victory will unblock the situation,' he said. "

Seems this assessment was wrong. Does Bin Laden really want to solve the problem between the Pals and Israel? Only a stateman in the Oval office would be able to have intelligent discussion with other world leaders. Face it, people. Bin Laden is seen as a world leader at this point. America cannot invade all 62 countries where AQ exists. Bush has zero credibility, and never admits a mistake, and doesn't have a brain or control of his agenda. He's a puppet.

o Putin, the other leader moving his country toward totalitarianism, endorses Bush, while the Russia Journal, describing Bush stated "Presidential politics, and U.S.-Russian relations, are all about fresh starts, repeats, and starts all over again. Poor memory is a useful qualification. That’s one reason why Bush Jr. has declared the cold war over at least a dozen times during his presidency. Bush’s intellectual credentials are not immense, but no one ever declared so vehemently and so often that he cannot remember history.

o Yassar Arafat Supports Kerry:
Of course. Clinton/Albright came closer to peace there then anyone else. Bush has ignored the situation and allowed it to fester and ooze. With a statesman in the White House again, maybe we can make some progress there. That IS the source of terrorism, but the bushies would rather have you distracted.
