One of my favorite photos from WW II is that of the Frenchman who could only weep as the Germans marched down the Champs Elysee. A symbolic victory? Do you mean like us letting that fraud De Gaulle lead the troops into Paris as if they actually had something to do with it? The pansy did not even approve of Operation Overlord, nor would he go on the radio to ask the French people to cooperate. French military casualties foe The Battle of Normandy ZERO!!!!

"Sami al-Jumaili,a doctor at the main Fallujah hospital who escaped arrest..."
Why is a doctor escaping arrest,unless he is aiding and abaiting the terrorists and why would the Reuters guy know where to find him and use his testimony to claim civilian casualties.The leftist media is so biased they don't even realize that that they disclose their own biased sources in the text of the article.

Thanks for reminding me about that story.

Why do we even bother with the French?

Don't forget the most famous product of French Strategists: The Vaunted Maginot Line.

I saw Oliver North's "War Stories" the other day. He was talking about the War in North Africa, and the fact that despite requests by the US government, the French soldiers not only fired on US soldiers as they landed on the shores of North Africa to free them from the Nazis, but they actually held out for 3 days until the US forces overwhelmed them.

Who says they are good at surrendering?

He is one of the French elite. His family made its money from the original patent on the reverse gear in French tanks that was later adatped for widespread civilian use.

You have to hand it to the world's best collaborators. Once they are bought. They stay bought.

When can we expect the US offices of Reuters to begin taking casualties?

I would hope it will be soon. A little blood flowing out the door would be a wonderful sight.

The French are symbolic.

Residents said a U.S. air strike hit a clinic in a central district, killing medical staff and patients.

As in the famous last words of Lawrence O'Donnell: LIARS, LYING LIARS, LIARS!

I must correct all you guys, French military strategist Jean-Louis Dufour, is an expert due to the fact that like his grandmother he has a lot of German in him.

[American Vet Repairman]

It will be a symbolic victory," French military strategist Jean-Louis Dufour said."

I got your symbolic victory Right Here you French @##^&&$#@!!!!!!!!!

[American Vet Repairman]

Jean-Louis Dufour, is an expert due to the fact that like his grandmother he has a lot of German in him.

Mes Oui, and I bet it was plenty a German. Voulez Vous Couche avec mois c'es soi? (Please forgive the spelling.)

What a shock that Reuters posts such a bulls--t story. They quote an unnamed guy talking about all these American casualties, but the numbers are (thankfully, yet sadly) low. That is the tactic of people when they want to make up stuff.
