So the countries which stabbed the USA in the back, with a murdering Dictator for oil money and concessions. Countries who corrupted the UN and destroyec it's credibility probably forever.


Are mad at the USA, WOW I'm really worried about that. These scumbags supplied the weapons which are today killing American soldiers and Iraqi citizens say we aren't playing fair.

You protect American citizens, but you put in danger a number of private citizens in other countries who may be innocent people," said Jean-David Levitte, the French ambassador to the United States.

So what, Froggy Levitte? Don't you know that these days, given these revelations, the only good Frog is a dead Frog? But don't think we want you all dead. We most certainly need enough of you cowards kept alive to keep sending us your smelly froggy cheezes. Oh, and the Michelins too. The rest you can keep, particularly your overpriced not-so-hot wines. Give me a good cheap California cabernet or even a merlot over 95% of your bogus grapes. Haven't had any Froggy wine in 25 years. The Michelins? Well, sometimes even a Real American is forced to deal with dirtballs.

Come on now, lets all calm down and just that a minute to reflect on france's position.

Time up, and after considering france's position I've made a decision

I COULD CARE LESS WHAT FRANCE THINKS, SAYS, OR DOES.

F THE FRENCH

I'm worried. If Kerry runs on this issue, Bush is toast.

Every extra day
that Saddam remained in power
was
another day that
1. Iraqi children starved
and
2. UNprincipled men grew richer.

I have a prediction.

Soon John Kerry will announce that Bush took too long to fight Iraq.

The question isn't whether the report offends the French - something that obviously concerns Kerry - but whether it is true!!!!!

It only proves that things aren't always what they seem.

Before the war I worked for a chemical division here in the states that was bought up by a big French petroleum co. They then began to run the American buy ups into the ground. Big cuts in management, then R&D then the floor workers. Hire freeze, pay cuts and mounting work loads. People started walking and those who didn't were driven into the ground physically as well with long, hard hours and unreasonable production expectations. As the war started up it just got worse and worse.

Make no mistake. The French interest revolted against the American workers when we went into Iraq. I'd love to throttle the neck of every liberal who calls them our ally.

Four MORE OF THE SAME Years!
