Un-freakin-believible!

It's not enough to posture against us in the UN but now they are attempting to put our troops at risk. F*** the French..I've had it.

This perfidy needs to be exposed. This goes beyond a principled disagreement. ChIraq want to protect his honey pot and doesn't care if Americans die. I'm joining the "Bomb France" group.

Has it been made official that France is an Enemy of the United States?

If this is true, it's a whole new ballgame with the French.

France has been acting in the manner all along.

They have been lobbying the whole world to oppose us.

I heard this on Fox, also. If accurate, it seems to me that France is moving to the state of being an ally of an enemy state. France is reportedly offering Turkey EU membership with France's asssistance if Turkey will not help the US.

He does not just want to stop the war, he is seeking our defeat. This is very close to an act of war. How can the EU survive this? There are 50,000 British troops in the field. The sad thing is is that Germany wil never allow Turkey in to the EU.

That explains General Myers this week when he said we are prepared for a northern front without Turkey. I knew that our planes at Incirlik could be moved with their mainenance people very rapidly as well since they had to have a workaround if Turkey won't give us permission to use their airspace.

Let Chirac get Turkey out of their financial difficulty! I frankly have had it with the Turks!

They had better decided in a hurry which side they are on!

Hold it. France blocked NATO from giving Turkey Patriot missiles for defense, and now they are telling Turkey not to allow overflights?!

Chirac has now declared France an ally of Iraq and an enemy of the United States. Who'll be his friend when Allied forces take Baghdad?

Yes, and we need to uncover each and every instance that we can find.

*IF* this is true, it is far beyond opposing a resolution for war. This is the overt act of an enemy opposing us in battle.
