WTF Is It Now?!?

Iraqi weapons cloud Bush-Europe relations
The Daily Express of London ran a report Friday on the statements by the two U.S. officials with the headline "Just Complete and Utter Lies." "Claims that the world was lied to about the reasons for going to war in Iraq gathered pace yesterday as fresh doubts were cast on Britain and America's account of Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction," the newspaper said.

In Germany, where the war was widely unpopular, the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeiting newspaper said the comments showed America is losing the battle for credibility. "The charge of deception is inescapable," the newspaper said.

Opposition parties in Denmark, whose government supported the war, demanded to know if Prime Minister Rasmussen misled the public about Iraq's weapons. "It was not what the Danish prime minister said when he advocated support for the war," said Jeppe Kofod, foreign affairs spokesman for the Social Democrats. "Those who went to war now have a big problem explaining it."
