Re: Saddam paid off French leaders
The global test has nothing to do with whether or not France or any other country approves. By global test Kerry simply meant that we should follow a reasonable plan that meets a most basic set of criteria.
Here is the way he used global test in the debate: [ QUOTE ] But if and when you do it, Jim, you have to do it in a way that passes the test, that passes the global test where your countrymen, your people understand fully why you're doing what you're doing and you can prove to the world that you did it for legitimate reasons. [/ QUOTE ] "Still want to submit to a "Global Test" under the French?" Yes. If the President of the United States is going to send some of my friends and brother in law into a sovereign nation in a preemptive attack I would want him to explain to the American people in an understandable way why we are doing so. He also should be able to prove to foreign leaders that he did so for legitimate reasons. If he is not able to do so then our reasons for going are shaky and war should be avoided.

Re: Saddam paid off French leaders
I can't stand John Kerry and truly believe that he is more of a internationalist when it come to the US military but it does seem that he meant more of a "reasonable person" test much like we use for domestic laws and courts. I bet he wishes he would have used a different phrase.
BTW care to explain why the first gulf war did not meeet the "global test?" Anyone?

French connection armed Saddam How low can the French go? [/ QUOTE ] My question is A week after Ewald's A-10 was downed, an Army team searching Iraqi weapons depots at the Baghdad airport discovered caches of French-made missiles. One anti-aircraft missile, among a cache of 51 Roland-2s from a French-German manufacturing partnership, bore a label indicating that the batch was produced just months earlier. Were the French selling Saddam weapons when we had troops on the border? In a court of law that would be described as .....
