Why knock the French? hmm...maybe because they dropped out of NATO during the cold war then came back when it was over and safe to go "back in the water", not letting us fly over their territory to bomb Libya (so sorry about your embassy being bombed Pierre but the boys were tired from that L O N G flight), screwing us at the last minute by now backing us in Iraq and my personal "favorite", making a cop killer an honorary citizen of Paris and naming a street after him!! (Mumia Abu Jamal).
Just a few reason to knock the frogs!!
Weren't the French against going into iraq from the get go?
