Deputy Leader of the New Zealand National Party Bill English attacks Obama Tuesday, 04 November 2008 BILL ENGLISH: 'I'm a bit worried about this whole Obama and Europe thing, just because there's a limited effectiveness in being moralistic about international relations and Europe has turned out to be particularly ineffective even in its own backyard.' Another secretly taped conversation with National's deputy leader has surfaced, recording Bill English expressing concerns about "moralistic" views expressed by US presidential candidate Barak Obama. He is heard on tonight's tape saying: "I'm a bit worried about this whole Obama and Europe thing, just because there's a limited effectiveness in being moralistic about international relations and Europe has turned out to be particularly ineffective even in its own backyard. "And the US can argue over-do it (sic) and Bush should have put a different window dressing - there still needs someone willing to pull the trigger." Mr Obama has said he will pull troops out of the Iraq war, and opinion polls show he is likely to win the presidential election on Thursday (NZT). National Party leader John Key said he was not concerned about Mr English's comments. Prime Minister Helen Clark said his comments showed National would have sent troops to Iraq. "What it tells us is how militaristic the National Party is," she said. "If there's a war going they want to be part of it." Miss Clark said the comments were "particularly unfortunate" and could have implications in Washington if Mr Obama was elected president. - NZPA --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Black Focus Inc." group.
