Did someone forget to tell the French that we are at war? The old paradigms no longer exist. As arrogant as it sounds, when the largest power on Earth goes to war, you can't just sit on the fence. Pick a side, or get pushed to one.

Only STUPID americans can delude themselves into believing that France is anything but our most serious enemy and backer of the terrorist plot to overthrow our nation.

Their own ministers are now investigating assertions that FRANCE and GERMANY backed terrorists and palestinian terror lords, in order to destablilize the worldwide hegemony of power, that IS the United STates of America.

We are quite literally at war with France, worldwide fascistic islamo communism and a hoarde of jealous third world tin pots.

Evil France... could not face us down in a mano e mano confrontation, so they backed attacks on the USA... and THAT is what capturing sadaam and his minions will eventually uncover.

It will be a short "hot war" with France.. unless they can somehow get their allies, the former communist russian leadership, to launch a first strike on the USA.

Damn them.
Merry Christmas.

One official said Washington had been hoping to keep the US-French negotiations confidential, adding that the hope was that "we would be able to lure some of these people in".

I'm beginning to truly hate these creatures. If one American dies because of French haughtiness, we should return the Statue of Liberty, with a few hundred JDAMs attached to it...

Wake up.
They know we are at war.
They are clearly backing the enemy.
Their ministers are even now investigating the financial dealings of their nation in backing arab terrorists and the palestinians to act as a counter balance against the "evil american hegemony" of power.

In fact, I would go so far as to say they are not just backing the enemy, they ARE the enemy. IN a nutshell we are at war with France, and MOST of our American family just doesn't know it.

They feared our capture of sadaam live.
They fear what we are uncovering.
Their hands are not only dirty.
They are the puppet masters.
It's time for another bloody french revolution.

France is not neutral; France is now our enemy.

They are the most arrogant in their opposition to our initiatives in the war on terror. I am beginning to believe you are right.

Yes, France is now our enemy. And .. the DAMN democrats continue to support France and everything they do. If France had allowed that flight to take off .. and something had happened, the DAMN democrats would have blamed Bush .. when in reality it would have been the fault of France.

These people are despicable!

That's the famous San Francisco Protest Warrior "Belly Girl." I believe her boyfriend is a FReeper. They infiltrated the anti-war protests in San Francisco earlier this year.

Another FReeper could probably link the original thread in which she first appeared.

If we are Successfully attacked via France, THAT NATION should become a PARIAH--COMPLICIT IN ANY potential attacks on us.

America owes NOTHING to France; We've Paid back our "Debt" to them MANY TIMES OVER!!

France OWES US FAR MORE than They can EVER Repay Us; That Nation owes us it's VERY Existence!!

So Much for "Gratitude!!"

SCREWM'

There is NOTHING "France" can Do or "Say" that is worth ANYTHING to America.

If the French are Incapable of detaining Potential Terrorists, we are NOT Surprised.

But they Should NOT expect us to be Particularly Sympathetic when the Terrorists "NUKE" Paris.

The French just SEEM to Believe that "Playing Patty-Fingers" with these Psychotic Sociopaths will protect them.

Sigh! & I would LIKE to have seen the Eiffel Tower!!

The French are perhaps the only nation wishing to be neutral in the War on Terror.

The French don't wish to remain neutral. The French only care about themselves.

A French interior ministry spokesman said little evidence of a terrorist plot had been found.

Yes, and news of a mushroom cloud seen ascending from the former site of the Eiffel Tower won't convince me of "terrorism" either.

The terrorist are smart enough to know that boarding a flight in France gives them their best shot at pulling off another 9/11 attack. Even Germany would show greater discretion if faced with the same circumstances.

This is the straw that broke the Camels back and then pushed him 150 feet into the bedrock.

Surely, France is about to pay dearly at the hand of our our Country for something like this.
I hope its disinfo and they are doing our bidding for their own sake. But if the past is any indication, and it usually is, then France made a big mistake today.
