Good one.

[Shermy]

Bump.

[marron]

This is a must read.

Timmerman was a regular contributer to The American Spectator, and is always good.
He exposed the Clinton arms deal with the Chinese military.

When Kerry attacks Pres. Bush for not putting cooperating with our allies, he means France. Kerry needs to be hit back, and hard, to explain exactly how France is our ally.

Great article.......hope Bush and his administration continues to distrust them...........

[KarlInOhio]

He is also the author of "Shakedown: Exposing the Real Jesse Jackson". The new book is 24th on Amazon sales rank.

[eureka!]

Nicely done. Won't hold my breath for a GMA appearance though...

[Asclepius]

Deep and tight, eh? It sounds like Saddam met Chirac at a boys' club on the Castro. Not that there's anything wrong with that. Except for the disease and emotional devastation and all. Oh, and war and terrorism in Chirac and Saddam's case. I think Chirac might make the cover of Prison Bitch magazine, its gala international issue.

[Cuttnhorse]

I'd forgotten that, thanks.

[Jeeper]

I'm sure Timmerman will be Leslie Sthal's next guest on "60 Minutes of Lies". I'm sure of it.

[My2Cents]

Do you think Perky Katie will rush to offer Timmerman an invite?

[eureka!]

Never. al-Katie has an agenda and will stick to it....

[yooper]

It is GOOD to hate the French.

[Robert DeLong]

Excellent read.

Note her first dig:

NRO: It seems "cool" these days for right-of-center Americans to French-bash: Hasn't it gone a little too far? Aren't you just adding to the lifespan of "freedom fries" with a book about a "betrayal?"

right-of-center? And she is not left-of-center?

French-bash. But they never Bush bash, I'm sure of it.

And her condescending attitude is just amazing...mocking "freedom fries"

When I lived in England back in 1979 my family became very good friends with a very nice and proper English woman who we called "The Honorable Hellen Harmsworth". She had a saying that I have never forgot. It went something like this
"the problem with the French is that they are so bloody French".

[Doc On The Bay]

WOW!

The true depth of French perfidy should be universally known. They are attempting to bully the world the way they bully the EU, and need to be taken down or isolated. Right now I think few actions short of actual warfare would be unwarranted.

How much damage to the US are they willing to do in pursuit of their own interests? And why should be suffer that damage, and still treat them as an ally?
