"Many in Europe, Asia and the Middle East believed Rice will add a more conservative, hawkish bent to U.S. diplomacy..."As compared to Colon Powell's bend-over liberalism.

But Barnier underlined French hopes of rebuilding ties with the United States no matter who holds the post of chief diplomat. "If she is named ... we will continue to have the same relations," Barnier told Europe-1 radio. "With the United States, the moment has come, looking ahead of us, to rebuild, to renew this trans-Atlantic relationship." Time to renew the relationship? I don't think so...

It's because, deep down, France wishes they could be anti-American terrorists... if it weren't for that whole "going to battle" or "dying for your beliefs" thing.
That's all most liberals are, terrorist apologists, only with half the conviction it takes to die for your beliefs. If there is one un-despicable thing to be said about terrorists, it's that at least their conviction is strong enough to live or die for - unlike liberals, who like to assert their beliefs, but then are too cowardly to stand by what they (supposedly) believe in.

"Punish France, ignore Germany and forgive Russia," Its as if they are our children. France, the eldest son (our oldest ally), was deliberately disobedient and challenged his fathers authority. He will be punished severely.
Germany, the middle child (ally for only a few decades), knew what he was doing was wrong but was provoked by all his brothers teasing. Ignore, but keep an eye out for further transgressions.
Russia, the youngest (just learning to walk as a democracy), tagged along without knowing how angry father would be. Forgive him and show him why what he did was wrong.

Maybe I should get my mind out of the gutter, but the idea of being punished by Ms. Rice is appealing!

Dr. Rice is not a diplomat. Her becoming Sec. of State would cause a huge turnover in staff overseas. Thats a very good thing!!! Give em heck, Dr. R!!!

If we were in charge, Iran would be a democracy already and Syria would be turning over Saddam's WMDs, due to pressure exerted by an unrestrained Israel.
That's nothin'. I'd sell nukes and tanks to our good buddies the Polish, and give 'em a green light to exact payback on the jerries for the first two world wars, screen-door-on-a-submarine style.

I agree for what?? In how to surrender??
Yes, that's it. I knew they could be good for something in Iraq. We need a French surrender training battalion. We could have sent them into Fallujah with a dozen white flags each a day or two before our guys went in.

An American and a Frenchman were walking toward each other on a deserted beach one day when they simultaneously spotted a magic lantern. As they both wrestled for the lamp a Genie appeared and said:
"I have heard your thoughts and you both wished to possess the lamp. That is your first wish and it is granted. You will now each have one remaining wish."
The Frenchman spoke up immediately "I wish for a 10 mile tall wall to be built around my beloved France to keep out the filthy Americans."
Immediately there was such a wall completely surrounding France. The American, not to be out done, made his wish; "Fill it with sea water"

"If she is named ... we will continue to have the same relations," Barnier told Europe-1 radio. "With the United States, the moment has come, looking ahead of us, to rebuild, to renew this trans-Atlantic relationship." Bull-shi'ite. "the moment has com"?
Why would we want to "rebuild" anything with the French?
