I am amazed you found this, and more amazed that someone would report this...
Screw France...print boycott france stickers and stick them on anything france you can find...
I do and my private crusade is so satisfying...from Orangina to Yoplait...Kiss my A$$
Yo Chirac...eat Sh!t
Nothing lost there.......Who gives a crap?
You just have to know the guy has a Muslim descent the real Frogs dont fight.
The French have to be desperate to send Muslim kids to do their fighting. The French must have sent him out with a good supply of Gucci purses to throw.
Not enough people know that our first post-Revolutionary armed conflict with a nation-state was against France. True to form, we kicked French ass.
Good news / bad news.
Good news is that france finally has soldiers fighting in Iraq.
Bad news is they're fighting for the enemy.
Are these the french troops John Francois kerry promised us?
What a great book. I have read a number of reviews. Got to get it......Just heard the story of the biggest French naval battle in WW2, they sunk 44 ships in Toulouse Harbor. Yup, they were their own.
Am I a bad human being for laughing at this story?
Can we make an exception to the boycott for Martel V.S.O.P. Cognac?
I mean, Charles "The Hammer" Martel kicked Muslim butt out of France at the Battle of Tours in app. AD 732.
Tis not by chance the French are greatest producers of perfume and cologne.
El Hakim; You're joking right!LOL
"......Just heard the story of the biggest French naval battle in WW2, they sunk 44 ships in Toulouse Harbor. Yup, they were their own."
Yup, they sunk them... to avoid that they are used against
the Brits by the Germans.
