France Vows to Block Resolution on Iraq War [CHEESE-EATING SURRENDER MONKEY ALERT]

I wonder if France has offered the Secretary-Generals job to Saddam? When is Annan's term up?

[Wphile]

Powell will not be Secretary of State for the second term after this failure of Powell Policy.

I wish you were right on this one but I'm afraid JohnB838 has it right. Powell is untouchable. He garners more respect from the American people than nearly any other person. Why, I have no idea. I think it's because most people do not know where he stands on lots of issues. My view is that Powell is a liberal, in both foreign and domestic policy and would be much better serving a democrat than President Bush. And unfortunately, IMHO, Bush seems to side with Powell more often than with Cheney and Rummy.

Also, Powell shouldn't have gone on national TV and said the President was wrong on the UM case. He's the Secretary of State and shouldn't be discussing domestic policy, let alone disagreeing with the President he was appointed to serve. How and why W puts up with him is beyond me.

[dfwgator]

Don't forget the UN once had Waldheim, an unapologetic Nazi, as its Secretary General. That says it all.

[Wphile]

When is Annan's term up?

IIRC, W renominated him shortly after his inauguration. I don't know how long the terms are but I'm guessing 4 years. Way too long in my opinion. I CANNOT stand to listen to him on TV.

The other thing that really gets me on this Iraq business is where in the h*ll are the human rights people? They are complaining about prisoners in Guantanomo (sp?) and yet they give Iraq and all these despotic regimes a pass. I'm becoming weary of any international organization. There only common interest appears to be vehemence towards the USA.

In find this difficult to believe. If it happened, it was Patty Murray, Hillary, Teddy, etc. who have figured out a way to pass sensitive information to our enemys with a trail going back to the Repubs.

[T. P. Pole]

I love this line from further down the article:

"France would never "associate ourselves with military intervention ...," de Villepin added. "We think that military intervention would be the worst possible solution."

Wouldn't want to break with tradition, not when they have their streak to consider...

[Wphile]

It was a very public dust up shortly after 9/11. Bush was furious and he came out publicly and said he would no longer be divulging any information to anybody except the leadership. Or something like that. The Congress and committees howled and Bush relented but he got his message across - no more leaks. I can't remember how it was discovered but all signs pointed to Orrin Hatch. In fact, I believe he said it on national TV.

[dfwgator]

"We think that military intervention would be the worst possible solution."

So what is France doing in the Ivory Coast, then?

History of French "Warfare"


Gaul vs. Julius Caesar - Gaul defeated by Rome circa
49 B.C. (Rome defeated the early French swine - the
Frenchies had to Hail Julius Caesar as their new
leader)

Gaul vs. Franks - Gaul defeated by Franks (the
'original' French, replaced by the Franks *sigh*)
Franks vs. Huns - Huns sack Paris circa 450 A.D. (Huns
finally defeated here - Attila's ONLY defeat. Notice
it was done by a German-Roman coalition, NOT the
Franks)

Franks vs. Themselves - Clovis unites Franks into one
kingdom around 511 A.D. He dies and the 'kingdom'
falls apart at the seams. Ever hear of naming a
successor or how bout a will?

Franks vs. Muslims - Charles Martel defeats a SMALL
Muslim raiding party at the Battle of Tours in 732
A.D. Muslims lost interest so Charles claimed a
'great victory'. Notice they didn't follow up and
kick the Muslims out of Spain though.....

Franks vs. Franks - Charlemagne crowned 'Emperor of
the Romans', Christmas 800 A.D. Again this 'empire'
fell apart by 840 A.D. - sheesh. Charlemagne could
read but couldn't write - now what sense does that
make?

Franks vs. Vikings - From 841 to 911 A.D. the Viking
Warrior-Badasses mopped the Frankish countryside with
Frank ass. France surrenders Normandy to Vikings 911
A.D. (Stupid mid-evil France was easily bullied by
real warriors)


Franks vs. Black Death - 1347 - 1350 A.D. Black Death
kills Frenchies good. This plague was said to
originate in Mongolia, from the vermin. BUT, we all
know it HAD to have came from the filthy French swine.

France vs. England - 100 Years War 1337 - 1453 A.D.
Battle of Crecy - 1337 A.D. (English hand the French
their own asses in the start of the 100 Years War with
the timely use of the longbow. French knights are
mowed down like the cannon fodder they were.) Battle
of Poitiers, 1356 A.D. - More of the same. Battle of
Agincourt, 1415 A.D. - Henry V gets some French
butt-whoopin' action. Unfortunately, a heretic freak
named Joan of Arc came along and united all the French
Frogs and they managed to repel the English. And we
all know where that got her....TOASTY.

France vs. World Culture - Renaissance starts in Italy
circa 1200's, NOT IN FRANCE.

France vs. World Exploration/Economics - Commercial
Revolution starts - major players are England, Spain,
and Portugal. Notice who ISN'T on that list?

France vs. France - 1572 A.D. St. Bartholomew's Day
Massacre by Queen Catherine. She killed thousands of
protestants and Jews. Hrm...that sounds really
familiar - the FINAL SOLUTION ring any bells?
Evidently these bastards were no better than Nazi
Germany and yet they are proud of their heritage?

France vs. Europe - War of Spanish Succession 1648
A.D. (France tries to fight rest of Europe over Spain
and looses to Frederick William of Germany)

France vs. Europe - 7 Years War or French Indian War
1756 A.D. (France gets beat up on 2 different
continents by England and Germany plus the early
future Americans - a guy named George Washington ring
any bells?)

France vs. France - French Revolution 1789 - 1799A.D.
(France kicks their own asses) Dr. Guillotine makes a
handy invention that allows the Frenchies to chop off
their own heads with amazing speed - thanks Jacobin
Republicans!

France vs. Europe - Waterloo 1815 A.D. (Wellington
delivers knockout to Napoleon - 2nd time. This comes
AFTER the Russian Winter destroyed the largest army in
the World and the U.S. conned old Nappy in the
Louisiana Purchase - WHAT A BARGAIN!)

France vs. France - French Revolution (again) 1848
A.D. (France is still kicking their own asses on a
smaller scale)

France vs. Mexico - late 1860s - early 1870s A.D. -
France conquers Mexico. Wow! Amazing. What an
accomplishment. Funny though, when the U.S. decided
to enforce the Monroe Doctrine and in so many words
told France to get the HELL out of our side of the
world, they tucked tail and ran.

France vs. Prussia - Franco-Prussian War 1870 A.D.
(William I of Germany kicks the teeth out of Napoleon
III - good old Willy proclaims himself emperor of
Germany at the Palace of Versailles - can you say
bitchslap?) This all started because France opposed
the unification of Germany - notice this starts a
nasty chain of events that doesn't end till
1945......seems to me we can almost chalk up WWI and
II on the dumbass French.

France vs. Germany - WWI 1914-1918 A.D. (Germany beats
the hell out of France - without the aid of USA,
France would be speaking German. France only won
because of Uncle Sam jumped in - then those dumbass
sore-winners in France impose an incredibly harsh
Treaty of Versailles to 'punish' the Germans. Notice
the resulting conditions of this allowed the rise of
an unknown Austrian named HITLER.

France vs. Germany - Rise of Hitler 1933-1939 A.D.
(Germany bullies France into letting them take more
territory - the wussies wouldn't even fight over it -
they adopted a policy of 'appeasement' - can you say
SCARED?)

France vs. Germany Round II - WWII June 22, 1940 A.D.
(France surrenders to Hitler at Compiegne after
putting up a fight that made Polish Army look good.
Notice Vichy France who quickly jumped ship to be
friends with the Germans. And once again without the
help of good old Uncle Sam the Atlantic Wall would
never have been penetrated - France would either be a
part of the 3rd Reich or a satellite country of
Communist Russia under Uncle Joe Stalin)

France vs. Vietcong - Vietnam 1954 A.D. (French Army
at Dien Bien Phu surrender to Ho Chi Minh) Nuff Said.



MORAL:
Even before Jesus walked the face of the Earth, the
French have been getting their asses kicked. The
smelly, cheese eating, fu-fu dressing French can't
fight worth a damn. You TOO can conquer France!

[Flashman_at_the_charge]

Frenchman is an oxymoron.

[johnb838]

OTOH if there was one president that could conceivably ask for the resignation and be willing to take the heat it would be GWB. But I don't see it. At least not until 2005.

[talleyman]

Thank God! For a moment there, I was worried that France might actually be on our side!

From a Marine in Bosnia. Note the signature, but read it last.

A funny thing happened to me yesterday at Camp Bondsteel (Bosnia):
A French army officer walked up to me in the PX, and told me he
thought we (Americans) were a bunch of cowboys and were going to
provoke a war. He said if such a thing happens, we wouldn't be
able to count on the support of France.

I told him that it didn't surprise me. Since we had come to
France's rescue in World War I, World War II, Vietnam, and the Cold War,
their ingratitude and jealousy was due to surface at some point in
the near future anyway. That is why France is a third-rate military power
with a socialist economy and a bunch of faggots for soldiers.

I additionally told him that America, being a nation of deeds and
action, not words, would do whatever it had to do, and France's
support was only for show anyway. Just like in ALL NATO exercises,
the US would shoulder 85% of the burden, as evidenced by the fact
that the French officer was shopping in the American PX, and
not the other way around.

He began to get belligerent at that point, and I told him if he would
like to, I would meet him outside in front of the Burger King and beat his
ass in front of the entire Multi-National Brigade East, thus demonstrating
that even the smallest American had more fight in him than the average
Frenchman.

He called me a barbarian cowboy and walked away in a huff.

With friends like these, who needs enemies?

I would love for the French to block a Security Council resolution and let us go into Iraq without U.N. approval and find zillions of WMDs.

It would let the world know that the U.N. and the French are not friends of peace or friends of the United States.

It's time for a MAJOR EMBARRASSMENT of the French in this regard. Maybe it would help to salvage some much-needed respect for the U.S. at the expense of France's asinine, smug, socialist, anti-Christian policies.

[Check_Your_Premises]

I am becoming more and more convinced we need to invade France and put them out of everyones misery.

How these sanctimonious clowns think they have any legitimate grounds to express there moral outrage simply astounds me.

The French couldn't decide if they preferred Nazis conquest of their homeland to American liberation during WWII. During operation TORCH we had to "fight" the French when we landed in Africa. Is it any wonder that they now prefer Saddam controlled Iraq to American liberated Iraq.

Invade France I say! Force them all wear acid wash jeans and grow mullets, turn over all control of their vineyards to Boones Farm, take all the art out of the Lourve and replace it with dogs playing pool, make all their radio stations play country music, make all their tv stations play the beverly hillbillys, make all their restaurants serve corndogs and kool-aid...

and then we would simply leave them in the sad but unavoidable knowledge that they are an American protectorate living on the corpse of their civilization that was last relevant when it's ships were made of wood.

[Check_Your_Premises]

Oops, I forgot their cheese... replace it all with velveeta.
