U.S. - French Alliance at the U.N. Reportedly Crumbling
FOXNews ^ | 9 August 2006

UNITED NATIONS — The French-American alliance at the United Nations over a Mideast cease-fire agreement is crumbling, sources tell FOX News.

The French U.N. delegation has joined with Arab nations and is now calling for a complete and immediate Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon as a condition of any cease-fire, the sources said.

In addition, the French have reportedly agreed with Arab demands that the Lebanese force be accompanied only by UNIFIL, with no international force to be deployed.

I suggest that the French board the boats and head to Lebanon to resettle there.

We should have dumped the UN years ago.

Let's remember we're trying to deal with the French here.

So the fight goes on and more Islamofacists can meet their virgins. I care because...?

I said this deal was going nowhere fast on the first day of its release. I actually believe GW Bush and Condi having been playing "good cop/bad cop" with the idiotsw that make-up the UN. At some Syria and Iran are going down.

Really, an international force, unable to stop Hezbollah would be the worst of all worlds for a ceasefire. It would simply prevent Isreal from doing anything about the attacks.

Anyone who expected anything different from the French - shouldn't be allowed to play with sharp objects or walk in traffic unaccompanied.

Fine - Fruck the Fench and the Arab they rode in on...

This is good...
No Ceasefire -- the Jews keep killing Hizbollah and those that supported them...

Win/Win -- especially if this draws the other Islamic states into the fight to show their true unreliability..
Lebanon may turn out to be the new shit magnet for Jihadists.

Semper Fi

Agreed. They'd serve as a protector to the Hezzies.

The fact they were talking a separate resolution for the peace keeping force telegraphed this thing was DOA. Zee French no doubt remembered the riots earlier this year and thought better of upsetting the Arab apple cart. Spineless.

Hah!
I was wondering how long it was going to take Ze French to raise ZE WHITE FLAG.
That was even quicker than their normal one week before surrendering. :)

Didn't the House of Representatives cafeteria just changed the name of Freedom Fries back to French Fries? Can't they get anything right? It's only Freedom Fries from now on for me.
