Alone In the World

It seems our global friends are becoming fewer by the day. Rather than redeploy troops from the south up to Baghdad to assist U.S. forces with insurgents, British Prime Minister Tony Blair announced to Parliament his plan to withdraw 7,100 troops from Iraq by the end of the summer. That was followed by Denmark and Lithuania delcaring their intentions to remove their small contigents.

And now Italian Prime Minister Romano Prodi has resigned following his government's defeat on a foreign policy vote in that country's Senate. One of the major issues on the defeated measure...plans to expand a U.S. military base in northern Italy.

President George W. Bush: Turning the United States into a pariah by burning what few global bridges we have left.

Say it with me: The. Worst. President. Ever.
