I am glad they are "ruptured" - but I don't understand how. They lack testicular fortitude!

Hey! I gave up Goodrich T/As, you can let Michelins go. Don't give in to the dark side.

Alot of our Air Force is pissed that they were shot at or shot down by French missles!! What do the frogs think of that. Not only did they sell out they armed Saddam.

Bush Administration to France, "We all know what you are, what we are trying to establish is your price."

Okay, I won't tell you. I'll just keep it to myself. ;-)

The Bush administration's handling this week of a report on Saddam Hussein's attempts to purchase weapons and buy influence has angered French officials and set back a year of American efforts to repair the rupture caused by the Iraq war, French and other European officials said Friday.

This guy is dreaming.

Remember the story last week where President Bush refers to Chiraq as "The Jackass" and many Americans thought this demonstrated the Presidents forgiving nature?

"This report does great damage," Mr. Levitte said. "There really is a sense of outrage in Paris. We don't want to create a situation that will put us back to one year ago. But these are dirty tricks at the expense of France, with the White House putting the finger on the name of France."

Gee, I remember Dominique de Villepin dismissively saying that America should read more Machiavelli. Perhaps someone decided to show Dominique that we have read Machiavelli and that we too know how to play dirty.

I only hope that this is not just hype and that "This report does great damage," Mr. Levitte said. "There really is a sense of outrage in Paris." is true.

[Just mythoughts]

This bunch got addicted to the Clintons method of operation, they got caught sleeping with Saddam and what we are suppose to keep it a private affair?

What did they expect, JFKerry is not president yet!!!!

I remember last summer where the French people were dying like flies, and their government could not nothing about it. These French are their own worst enemy they keep repeating the same mistake generation after generation after generation.
