I got 10 bucks that says the French are gonna get their asses handed to them on a platter then blame the US for not helping.

[Pylon]

BREAKING!!!!!!!

The Ivory Coast is pleased to announce it's new Capitol, Paris.

The French should lay down their arms and give sanctions a chance to work.

After all the French are really just after the oil.

[des]

I'm sorry, but we need to do a global test on this.

[mississippi red-neck]

Actually you had the French fighting on both sides.

Some with the Germans and some with the Allies.

I think their reason for this is so they would have an opportunity to surrender twice.

Once to each side.

The French have not explored all possible avenues for peace. They are acting unilaterally without conferring with the nations of the world. The French are acting beyond the actions of a civilization in line with the world community.

No blood for cocoa! No blood for cocoa!!

Hmmm, can't we all just get along? What's with the French, attacking another country like that? And a former colony, too. How evil is that! Rogue nation, out of control! Every other insult heaped on the US by Euroweenies...insert here.

[hershey]

Yeah, where is that aircraft carrier, anyway? Well, maybe they have freight service in the Ivory Coast.

[hershey]

Does the Ivory Coast have any oil?

Actually you had the French fighting on both sides.
Some with the Germans and some with the Allies.

Key French battle of World War II - the Battle of Dakar. French troops defeated by French troops.

Did both sides surrender or did they have a coin toss?

[PAR35]

Did both sides surrender or did they have a coin toss?

The ones anwerable to the Nazis were afraid not to fight, so they held their ground. The ones fighting with the British ended up retreating.

[PAR35]

Armies always tend to prepare to fight the last war, but I would submit that the Maginot Line was a success. The Germans did not attempt to attack those positions. The only fault was that it was made too short since the French did not want to offend their French-speaking brethren in Belgium.
