France blamed a food crisis gripping its former colony Niger on a late response by the entire international community on Saturday, saying it was not the only country responsible for aiding the world's poor.I, on the other hand, blame the food crisis on Third World socialist kleptocracy, which is kept alive by aid from First World countries thinking they're being humanitarian.

"There shouldn't just be big declarations made at summits and big concerts with nothing behind them," he said.France ignored the plight of the Iraqi people. Why are they so concerned about these people now? I'm sure they've gotten their share of the African gold mines already.
Why is the left so friendly ? Could it be they know the truth about yellowcake, and if it were to be made public ......Hmmmmm..

They were to busy ripping us off in the Oil For Food scandal. They used some of the stolen money to send to Niger, then tell us we were neglectful in our responsibility!! Let's just invade France and kick their asses!

So, that's where the bulk of our tax money is going - to feed faraway strangers.

Niger is in about the same condition as one of the other wrecks of a nation -Haiti- that share the distinction of both being former French colonies.
The FRENCH alone should look after their "African children"...

It said it would triple food aid to 4.6 million euros ($5.6 million) this year for Niger,WOW........ really generous. George Soros gives more to the dems.

You're wrong.

STFU: Shut the France Up. If France thought something should have been done, they should have done it. We didn't need their permission to go into Iraq. They don't need our permission to go into Niger.

Doesn't matter if the world was late. France took care of it.

It's my fault. Well, me and George Bush.
It's too bad Africa is such a mess, it has great possibilities. Many of the people are good and deserve a break. The mess in Africa is of their own making.
Any more money there just goes either down the toilet or into Swiss banks.

I would have thought this post was in the cartoon section of "Punch" were it not posted here.
Laughable in the extreme. Shows what a pathetic suit Chirac is. And, to think American blood was spent in Both World Wars pulling their sorry Frog asses out of the kettle.
My God, how I loath the French!!!
