Schröder Mentions The War (Again)

EURSOC (European media critic)
...Back in 2002, most pundits expected Schröder to be trounced in Germany's elections. However, the wily chancellor capitalised on German anti-war feeling and beat the opposition Conservative party - which supported the US action - by a narrow margin. Since then, economic stagnation and a series of unpopular reforms have seen Schröder's ratings slip to record lows.

The chancellor's party expects another pasting in June's election - but he hopes to save his skin by dusting off his "war record."

...the chancellor has spent the past two yeargrovelingng to Washington in order to patch up the relationship he wrecked.

...Schröder has made much of his close relationship with France's President Chirac...in the forthcoming French elections...Chirac's government is expected to be dealt a death blow...
Despite their anti-war stances, both Schröder and Chirac are expected to lose decisively in the next election.
