LOL. And shouldn't the title be French Surrender Minister?

French Defence Minister Michele Alliot-Marie

Is he the guy that carries the French version of the U.S. presidential Football?

The U.S. Football contains communications equipment and the Nuclear Missile launch codes. The French Football is a collection of white flags and translations of "France Surrenders Unconditionally" in 100 languages.

After this trip is concluded, he'll have to tell Chirac about the visit. When Chirac asks what Bush said, this guy should just open his suitcase and take out a pre-written French defense budget (given to him as a gift by Bush, courtesy of the DoD) with massive spending increases. After all, Bush will have told France that we're no longer going to protect them like children.

Too bad the above scenario would only happen if there were justice in this world.

The French need some extreme US defense technology for their own military capability. They figure that if they build them out of redwood, the propellers on the one and only French aircraft carrier won't rot as quickly every time they put it in drydock (regular weekly overhaul). Try the Freedom Fries, froggie.
