Thanks John. I had known her for 2 and 1/2 years, and finally met her in person. She was even more beautiful than her pictures. I can't wait to put a wedding ring on her finger. Of course, we will stay in the US for 5 or 6 years, then move to her home country. BTW, she does not care about age differences either. Lucky me.

STIFU the Frogs. What did they ever do to contribute in blood and treasure to the Liberation Of Iraq? They can go and bloody hell wank themselves off. That's the only thing those excrecable cheese eating monkeys are good for anyway.

I wonder what the French plan was?

Keep sending French Wh*res to Saddam et al? Perhaps they could smuggle in a syphillitic one, but they are so highly prized in Paris.

Iraqi's will long remember, especially after the US ensures they are well informed, that France, Germany and Russia have always taken a stance against the Iraqi people, from supporting Saddam - nonsupport of liberation - and finally nonsupport in reconstruction. These three nations support dictators and oppose democracy, plain and simple. Some friends.
