Re: That Didn't Take Long   [Andy McCarthy]

I'm glad Sarkozy won, but the U.S. swooning over him has been premature and over-optimistic.  He is just as opposed to U.S. operations in Iraq as conventional French opinion.  He would take the military option against Iran off the table (he is, in other words, a proponent of the status quo that is failing even as we speak).  And, at a time when things are not going well in Afghanistan, he is in favor of pulling France's forces out of the NATO coalition there.  It's nice that he is saying a few positive things about America, but I am not going up in a balloon over this guy.
