crackpot! crackpot! (Murtha)
Yes, the French are making deals with Iran, but it has more to do with an off shore natural gas field than it does their troops in Lebanon.
In addition to be cheese eating surrender monkeys the French are self interested, oil hungry, gas bags.
I'm too disgusted to comment on the French.
Glad you indicated Murtha as the crackpot... but I answer to that to!
lol, that's why I made sure to add his name! How old is the windbag? He should just go away......
Oh, I wonder how much that's going to cost!
He is not as old as he looks, but he is old enough to know better.
looked it up, he'll be 75 in June.
yes to term limits or even mandatory retirement for him, Byrd..crazy old coots.
France: "No war for oil! No war for oil!" "Now, cocoa is another matter!"
Yep......
Chirac is now openly admitting he ordered French citizen-soldiers to be held as hostages of the religious fanatics of the Middle East.
The French grunts on the ground in Lebanon must be pretty damn pissed at this point.
Oh, no, the you have that wrong, the French are only opposed to the US going to war for oil, oil that the French already have contracts for. The French oil company, Total SA, already has dealings with every US hating, socialist or communist dictator in every oil producing country in the world. The new head of TOTAL, De Margerey is supposed to be under investigation for the oil for food scandal, but of course nothing has come of it because Chirac and Villepin were also involved.
Sorry not to be very transparent - implied juxtaposition and [silent] "/s" :~)
Yeah, Chirac and his buddy Villepin tried to set up Sarkozy in sort of equivalent of Plamegate - Clearstream affair. Fortunately, it blew up on them as Sarkozy fought back.
BTW, Royal is doing "Hillary" with her TOTAL "incredible profits" shtick. how long before they "do full Chavez" [credit goes to Charles Krauthammer] and call for nationalizing oil industry? Royal doesn't seem to be doing very well, though - that's a relief.
I don't know what part the French gov't owns of Total, but all the higher ups own a good size share in their own personal perfolios. What isn't nationalized, is incestual.
