level that damn thing with a pair of JDAMs

Nah. Even the Nazis didn't do that. They just flew a monster Swastika flag from the pinnacle, for all froggies to look at, night and day.

[hinckley buzzard]

I am sure going to miss my Gray Goose Vodka, but....oh well!

WTH you drinkin' froggie vodka for anyway. Sheesh.

[hophead]

"Go right ahead France...."

With Shillary as our next pres, ol Jacko may just get his way. DO NOT underestimate Shillary and Co.

[hophead]

"U.S. Tells France to F Off or STFU"

Don't be so fast. If Shillary is our next pres, this all may come to be reality.

"....

That brings us to... well, you know where that brings us, to the French. The French, you might as well gas up the dinghy and go fishing with Fredo because you are dead to me, okay. You know something? These pricks are now putting — they're putting swastikas on our flag in France. You've got all those boys buried in Normandy. And after we had the good taste to chisel the
armpit hair off the Statue of Liberty you gave us, you know something, I — always thought that tint was oxdized copper. Little did I know it was green with envy.

You know something, I say we don't let these guys on the war train now. They don't want to be involved, fine. I say the train pulls out, leave them on the platform and say listen you're not allowed to fight with us now. You guys want to get your hands dirty at this late date, you'll have to run them through your own hair.

"If you're in a peace march and the guy next to you has a sign that says Bush is Hitler, forget the peace thing for a second and beat his ass, because he is not Hitler."

You know something, everybody's talking about post-liberation Iraq and who should take care of it. Listen, you know they need the oil and you know there's a lot of dirty paper on the French providing reactor parts that we're going to unearth. I'd have a back channel call from Bush to Chirac and I'd tell him, listen, pal, you know who's going to handle the day-to-day necessities of the noble Iraqi, it's you, my friend. Consierge is a French word, isn't it?

You know something, if they couldn't — I say we invade Iraq and then invade Chirac. You run a pipe -- you run a pipe from the oilfield right over this Eiffel Tower, shoot it up and have the world's biggest oil derrick. We got a picture of it right here. Yeah. Listen, I would call the French scum bags, but that, of course, would be a disservice to bags filled with scum.

I'm just saying listen, I'dlike to have allies too. What's happening in this world right now, we have a competency chasm. We are getting real good at what we do and the whole world is going to hell in a handbasket. As that gap gets wider, they'll hate us more and more and more. We are simultaneously the most hated, feared, loved and admired planet — nation on this planet. In short, we are Frank Sinatra and you know something, the Chairman didn't get to be the Chairman lying down for punks outside the
Fountainbleu.

Now listen, I don't know what I think of George W. Bush when he first got in, but I've grown fond of the man, and maybe it's the times we live in. They say he's not an environmentalist. But every time I see his ranch on tv, it looks pretty nice. You know something, if we all took care of our own, we'd have a great environment

You want a trade war you fromage-eating frog? Bring it on.

[Chode]

[CyberAnt]

Works for me!!

[EndWelfareToday]

Ah, I see (f)rance still believes everything can be solved with a tax.

Ever find a liberal that didn't?

[TexConfederate1861]

Because it is the SMOOTHEST Vodka I have ever tasted! :)

[Shadowstrike]

Pimp Chirac. The United States of America does not respond to "demands" from Terrorists -- or their Allies.

Shut up, or we'll give you part of Louisiana back --say New Orleans?

[hosepipe]

This must be logical in NYC, Boston, Chicago or L.A...
Oh! and Seattle..

[SunkenCiv]

To reprise: I guess if the fascist demagogue Chirac gets his way, all those Jags, Benzes, and Beemers (not to mention the Italian gas-guzzlers) will have to stay in Europe from now on.

Bring it on, Jacque-ass.

"Carbon tax?"

Yawn.

I seem to remember your country took a pretty good hit when many Americans poured your precious French whine (sic on purpose) down the gutter.

France, if you want to play hardball... you'll lose.

Victoria BC, every two years or so, gets a chance to vote on whether or not to build a sewage treatment plant.

I've read that before. It is my understanding that Victoria also has its share of environmentalists and liberals too...

[proud_yank]

In another demonstration of France's world-class industrial prowess [sarc]...did you happen to catch this yesterday?!?

See post #43 :-)

[proud_yank]

Yuck! That is disgusting.

I don't for a second. I am quite thankful to have just started my career, with one of those large, eeeevil oil companies, where I may have the opportunity to work abroad in a few years (i.e. tax-exempt). I like the idea of them not exercising their generosity from my wallet!
