48. How About Grassley's Comments On Talk Of Iowa This Week
Basically discounted, in a very denigrating way, Germany and France as being 'friends' of the United States. He said something along the line of:

Germany and Frances are not allies. We had to save France twice in the 20th century. And we fought and defeated Germany twice, so how can they be an ally.

Overall, I was appalled by most of his comments. He is basically towing the Boosh party line.

Left me feeling pretty disgusted.

PS: I guess using his rationale, Romania (a member of the coalition o' the willin) shouldn't be considered an ally since we fought them in W.W. II also.
