President Jacques Chirac for the first time on Thursday raised the threat of a nuclear response to states that launch "terrorist" attacks against France.
"Leaders of any state that uses terrorist means against us, as well as any that may be envisaging -- in one way or another -- using weapons of mass destruction, must understand that they would be exposing themselves to a firm and appropriate response on our behalf," he said.
"That response could be conventional, it could also be of another nature," Chirac said in a clear reference to nuclear weapons during a visit to a French nuclear base in the northwestern region of Brittany.
Chirac said that France had configured its nuclear arsenal to be able to respond "flexibly and reactively" to any threat, by reducing the number of nuclear heads on certain missiles on board its submarines.
"Faced with a regional power, our choice is not between doing nothing an annihilating it," Chirac said.
The French president did not single out any country by name. Nor did he say that France's nuclear arsenal could be used against terrorist groups, as opposed to states, as is the case with the US nuclear doctrine changed under President George Bush.
Also in contrast to the United States, France has not developed so-called "mini-nukes" capable of striking specific military targets such as underground bunkers within a country. - AFP
Using your reasoning, then sororities are sexist deny men equality. What about clubs such as the Junior League? No men are allowed membership in that either.
I guess that not only are you unable to read the written word with any comprehension, but you're a FEMINAZI to boot.
FYI...any woman who wants to be a part of FreeMasonry, can join the Eastern Stars.
As to the size of my "manhood", that doesn't apply.
Actually, you did raped it, and you pillaged it. Congratulations.
These individuals were in Kosovo and have had first hand experiences there and in commenting on issues regarding matters about Kosovo, they carry much more weight than your two bits worth of perfidious little attempts at adhominem attacks, which is off topic by the way.
Oh yes, being in Kosovo, absolutely, positively educates those who were there, on the black helicopter/conspiracy theories of tinfoildom. I couldn't agree more. LOL
You are just about the most wasteful of any human I've ever encountered. In this entire thread, plus others I've looked at you offer no facts, no opinion, almost no contribution. Even the "Broadzilla" on libertyforum at least offers some input, however, twisted that it is, she speaks from being there.
I don't know if you have bad personal relationships, abused as a child or been divorced 3-4 times, whatever it is, get help because all you offer people are insults and silly cliche's. And I suppose you reading the paper, talking to experts online, and your signficant sociopathic behaviors appear at their best.
Your behavior does in fact fill the exact definition of a troll, as you offer nothing of substance toward the thread or even off thread, and, and.....you speak with authority that you know of this or that. Well, show that you do and stop with the insults and cliches' and participate in this forum in the way it was intended. Not as a sound off for a woman who has lost control in her life and takes it out like a coward online.......you stop and participate, so will everyone else....you continue, you will receive the same back, (which is what I thing you actually thrive on......due to you lack of self concept or arrogance, I can't figure out which0......speaking for myself, I will simply ignore your posts........as not even signficant.
You heard the lastest.....Israel, I believes has given less than 10 weeks before they are going to bomb the facility. Iran will move the bomb(s) that they have as the facility just might just be a ruse......
You know that Syria will back up Iran, and who really knows what the others will actually do. It could really set off a chain reaction......
thoughts??
Like you pal, your crystal ball is also cracked. Absolutely none of your assumptions about me is correct. But thanks for playing; though none of you are very good at it. And it's patently clear, that you much prefer Ty engage in flame wars, than in actual debate, so now that this thread has been moved to the smokey back room, and I make it a rule to not stay on such threads for long, all of you can now engage in your favorite pastime...self pleasuring in a circle...all on your lonesome. Enjoy it.........;^)
"You started the flame war, the ad hominums, called in your pals, for reinforcement, and then all of you complain when I reply, though not in kind. That's just priceless! LOL"
****** Now, it's time to call you for what you are....you are a complete liar and I will admit someone that is beyond being a human, you are more than likely bi-polar, seriously. Not a slur, I sincerely think you have a serious problem from being abused as a child or a former signficant other that left you after a moment of gaining sense. Here is the start, and nothing before. You provoked, and yes I was drawn in by your provocation. I challenge you to go back and check the posts. Most all can see that you lie and are not worth acknowledging. I really hate saying this to another person. However, you sincerely need some help, no kidding and no slam. You replies by the way, from start to finish has included no participation with facts, or any comments that contributed to the discussion. Not one......even though you claim to be expert......All you know is what you read from armchair quarterbacks or traveler wantabees....
Alas, it is a sexist cult as it does not accept women as masons. My personal opinion, i dont care nor do I care one bit for the ma(n)son family. Go suck on it, puddins and watch your rear.
It sure is. Considering Fraance's response to the rioting, I find this, well, unbelievable. I actually checked to see if this was scrappleface of something. I've been catching tidbits of news here and there about Iran so this is really enough to make you wonder. Why would he be responding so strongly to *nothing*?
"Will be interesting to see how Syria reacts to Iran being attacked."
*****I also understand that the youth in Iran are in favor of democracy, and could be allies if they get the confidence. It will also be interesting to see their reaction if Iran is attacked, but also if they have a revolt within Iraq at the same time.
"you'll realize that the filth and absurdities you spew,"
******* This is her standard line. She used the same line with me on a private message. It's ...er, uh dramatic and poetic....or whatever....:))

PS....:) hit the wrong to, whatever, I meant to forward it to you.....:)
Nice dodge.
No brain, no pain, you're an anesthesiologists dream.
Yes you are common...LOL!!!
Besides denying that you belong to the Mansonic cult and your being an agnostic in that belief, what church do you belong too?
