Bush puts nuclear disarmament in Iran in jeopardy

As you know, President Bush said Kerry doesn't have what it takes to be commander in chief because he supposedly criticized our ally, Prime Minister Allawi of Iraq.

But Bush turned around and criticized our ally France today in a speech blasting Kerry. As Chris noted below, Bush said today that "The use of troops to defend America must never be subject to a veto from countries like France."

Now, I just realized that this is the same France that Bush is counting on to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons so that we don't have to start another war in which we'll be drafting everybody under the age of 35, women included. Look at what Bush said during the debate: "On Iran, I hope we can do the same thing, continue to work with the world to convince the Iranian mullahs to abandon their nuclear ambitions. We worked very closely with the foreign ministers of France, Germany and Great Britain, who have been the folks delivering the message to the mullahs that if you expect to be part of the world of nations, get rid of your nuclear programs."

Call me crazy, but President Bush is now trashing France, the very country we're counting on to deal with Iran. Is that really in America's best interest? Sure, it'll help Bush get re-elected, but since when it is okay for a president to put politics ahead of the national interest, particularly when we're talking about controlling the spread of nukes?

Now who's not fit to be commander in chief?
