So, the Frogs want to get in a name-calling war? I suspect they'd fare better in that than in an actual war, but not by much.

ah, the language of diplomacy

I guess the French were only paranoid in 1940........the Nazi threat was way overblown!

[Cobra64]

The French are the "louts." Has anyone heard, read, or said ANYTHING positive about the French? Their economy is in the tank. They won't work more than 35 hours a week. The government owns practically everything so therefore not much works in that stinking country. 10 percent of their population are towel head terrorists. And they continue name-calling? Un-friggin-believable! (Now I feel better).

France's newly-appointed ambassador to Israel described Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon as a "lout

and deserves a "SABOT" in his "DERRIERE" as his diplomatic papers are torn to sheds, literally thrown back in his face, and he's sent packing home to PARIS in abject shame.

Dubious source - Though I don't doubt French hatred of Israel.

[Cicero]

Maybe it's an unconfirmed source, but it's only too probable. It fits into the pattern of recent French governmental behavior very neatly.

France's newly-appointed ambassador to Israel described Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon as a "lout" and said the Jewish state was "paranoid" during a recent foreign office cocktail party in Paris

Oh, go bury your grandmother. :)
