We need another list of French products....so we can not buy them......

"Anything other than negotiations would be resolutely opposed by France."
That is NOT skill or mediation and certainly not diplomacy... that is SURRENDER.
He does not comprehend that surrender is NOT peace. Someone please tell him… go on, tell him before he makes himself ridiculous.
So is this the outcome of centuries of the widely praised, globally avowed pre-eminence of French diplomatic prowess? What am I thinking… that legend died a long time ago.

One thing Chavez said was right yesterday, and that was that certain members of the SC should not be there as permanent members. France being the primary one. They are a worthless country, who throw around the only power they have, and that is the veto in the SC. France's power waned decades ago, and it is harming our country's diplomacy efforts when France steps in with their hairbrained ideas.

To: SJackson
What would be the down side of letting the world know we are moving to a back seat position in all these situations. Let the French and others know we are there if they call but they should just keep us informed.
As we allow the French and their friends to continue their "dialogue" we will strengthen the nuclear defense in Israel just in case the "dialogue" does proceed in a suitable manner.

Sanctions? Heck. Try bunker-busters, daisy-cutters, and tactical nukes.

Gee--a French innovation on the world scene---the pre-emptive surrender (i.e. surrendering before hostilities commence).

The Americans would appear, fire a few missiles, bomb a few sites and go away
Serious miscalculation. Deadly in fact.

"A limited military clash would suit Ahmadinejad fine," says a former cabinet minister. "The Americans would appear, fire a few missiles, bomb a few sites and go away. Ahmadinejad would show on TV some old ladies and babies killed by the Americans, declare victory and pursue his grand plans with renewed vigor." So, according to the author of this article, the Bush administration is incapable of thinking past this boxed-in scenario. Amir should avoid playing poker with Texans, unless he has no need for the money he lays on the table.

(SECURE THE BORDERS FIRST (I'M YELLING ON PURPOSE))
To: SJackson
"There will be no war against Iran," Chirac is reported to have told a special emissary of the Islamic Republic who visited him in Paris last week. "Anything other than negotiations would be resolutely opposed by France." History may not be repeating itself, but it is hard not to remember similar pledges Chirac gave to Saddam Hussein up to March 2003, just weeks before the US-led coalition invaded Iraq."
The irony here is that Chirac's action probably increases the probability that the USA will be forced to strike Iran's nuke facilities. Just as with Iraq.
To: Proud_USA_Republican
Bingo. Look for a new Total-Fina-Elf contract with Iran in the coming weeks.

Face it, they don't care. The first to be hurt are Israel and the United States. Just like the little cowards they are, this is no surprise. They are NO friend of the United States and need to be declared such. I'm sick of the backslapping and excuses from Bush.
To: SJackson
Chiracs MULTIPLE and ABSOLUTELY CONTRADICTORY flip-flops the other day were stunning. There was Frog all over the F'n map.
