How about when France refused us overflight rights when we attacked Khadaffi in Libya?

Not diplomatic, but at least for once he’s not wrong.

He is correct, though still a horse faced chucklehead. France has been an ally of the U.S. since the revolution. They are not are most ardent ally, but our oldest.

France was our ally when we were fighting for our Independence from, “wait for it”, Great Britain. So he’s right about that. They certainly haven’t been our best ally of late, that title has belonged to the Muslim Brotherhood ever since Obama sent back that bust of Churchill.

Let’s see how many Algerians the French put in harm’s way.

Paris France is where John Hanoi Kerry met with the North Vietnamese to get his marching orders in the 70’s.

I heard a story that when DeGaulle called to tell President Johnson France was pulling out of NATO and he wanted all US soldiers off French soil, Johnson asked him, “does that apply to our war dead, too”?
To: Sub-Driver
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Ih 1664 we were Englishmen...
From 1664 until 1775 we as Englishmen fought the French on US soil just about every year for those 100+ years...
My Irish born Englishman ancestor was killed by the French and Indians at Lake George in 1755..His FIL fought the French in 1711...
Except for 2 short periods 1775-1783 and 1812-1814...about 10 years ...when we fought major battles against the English crown...
we have been allies ...sometimes best chums and sometimes cautiously...but allies..
maybe Carry is referring to Jefferson and his French naturality and how close we must be to France because of that...
Mon Dieu

needless (and pointless) insults of our allies...(as well as leaking their defense secrets to the mass media in order to weaken or undercut them...)
they must be teaching something new in Diplomacy class these days?
To: Sub-Driver
he is correct in calling them our oldest
they are also our first national enemy, too

France was the Confederacy’s best ally providing the south with arms during the war for states rights.
