January 24, 2003 -- WASHINGTON - In a sharp rebuke aimed at France and Germany, Secretary of State Colin Powell yesterday lashed out at countries that want to duck a showdown with Iraq, saying America will have plenty of friends in the foxhole without them.

"Old Europe" making dust.

"For the international community now to say, 'Never mind. I'll walk away from this problem' or ignore it or allow it to be strung out indefinitely with no end, I think would be a - defeat for the international community and a serious defeat for the United Nations process," Powell said in a slam clearly directed at France and Germany.

Hear that France and Germany .. even Powell thinks you're acting like a bunch of back stabbing WEASELS

Bye Bye UN

[Chief]

Simply put, the French are terribly confused. The Germans are on their side and now the Frogs do not know who they should surrender to.

Excuse me folks, but the real burr under Powell's saddle seems to me, is that the French have made him look foolish.

Whatever it takes to stiffen Powell's spine is fine with me.

The Germans and French support suicide bombers in Israel. Both countries have rising anti-semitism. Both have economic deals with Iraq, their ally.

Americans better realize the new enemy may include the Germans and the Vichi French. Remember the past! Neither of these countries is with great honor when peace is concerned.

Note to the french and germans:

 

    Your support is neither needed or wanted.  The Arsenal of Democracy is perfectly capable of moving unilaterally with out the help of a pair of failed socialist has beens who are struggling to maintain even a shred of relevance in today's world.

 

    You can choose your spots to stand with us, but know that we too will choose our spots to stand with you.  When your imbecilic immigration policies lead to your republics being over-run by third world islamofascists, we'll look back on times like these when making the call as to whether or not your worthwhile helping.

We can count on them to do the politically offensive thing, over the right thing then? Such idiocy. If we don't do this, if we were to just sit down and do nothing, they know good and well they would have to, and soon.

LOL!

Germany and France reveal themselves as the countries with the most to lose once the world discovers what has been going on in Iraq for the past 12 years.

I think we need a Department of Insults. They could hurl creative and hurtful insults at the French and Germans on a daily basis. That would be fun.

'Never mind. I'll walk away from this problem' or ignore it or allow it to be strung out indefinitely with no end, I think would be a - defeat for the international community and a serious defeat for the United Nations process," Powell said in a slam clearly directed at France and Germany.

Rummy and Powell both bringing the bad cop routine on 'merry old Europe' doesn't bode well for the fading star power of France or Germany. They have scant little time to decide what its going to be; shape up and get on board, or go to the bench and stay there. We don't NEED France or Germany for this battle, and we certainly have other people who would be willing to host our troops (re: Germany). The U.N.'s is confirming its own uselessness except as a platform to maginfy the power of has been European backwaters (re: France).

If they want to quit, and go warm the bench, so be it.

Shows you how sick Europe really is. Germany and France cannot defend themselves. Their government budgets go to social welfare programs.

[finnman69]

German approval and support is a nonissue since they would not be contributing troops or help anyway.

France will fall in line like the cheese eating surrender monkees they are.

Now that's creative thinking. I'd nominate Rumsfeld, but we need him where he is. When commenting on the "Old Europe" remark, he said, "At my age, when you call something old, that's a term of endearment." He's good!

My letter to Jacques Chirac (you can send emails to him at this site):

Dear M. Chirac:

France is a wonderful place, which is why I - like so many other Americans - have made it a practice to visit as often as my budget permits. The historical sites, the castles, the cathedrals and, of course, the food bring me back, time after time.

However, I must advise that my visit of October, 2002, will be my last, due to the position your government has taken regarding President George W. Bush's efforts to deal with Iraq's established violations of United Nations requirements.

Iraq has denied U.N. inspectors complete access to sites where it likely has developed or stored weapons of mass destruction. Further, Saddam Hussein has abused his power by annihilating thousands of his own people with poisonous gases and chemicals. This is not a person who should remain in power, to continue to violate the basic human rights of the people of his nation.

Nevertheless, France - along with Germany and a few others - have turned a blind eye to these atrocities, and have threatened to veto any U.N Security Council resolution authorizing military action against this brutal regime.

It seems France has no objection to brutal regimes of any ilk. A Jan. 23, 2003, report of the BBC indicates that your government will invite Robert Mugabe - another gruesome dictator - to a summit of African leaders next month, despite the European Union's travel ban against him.

The United States has come to France's aid on several occasions, most notably the Great War and the Second World War. When freedom is threatened, the U.S. doesn't call on France for help. Frankly, we know better. Rather, it is the U.S. that has willingly rescued France from invading, oppressive forces, at great sacrifice to our own people.

My husband and I visited Normandy just four months ago: Omaha Beach, Utah Beach, Pointe du Hoc, Ste. Mere-Eglise, Arromanches, Colleville-sur-Mer, Bayeux, and surrounding areas. We stood at the grave of a U.S. serviceman, the brother of a friend, who died in June of 1944 while trying to liberate France from Nazi Germany. We were planning to visit eastern France this year, to see the place in the Argonne forest where my grandfather was seriously wounded in November, 1918. We will not be visiting your country, however. We will not be patronizing your hotels and restaurants, your museums and shops.

Because of your stance against the United States and in support of the terrorism-supporting regime of Saddam Hussein, please be advised that we will not visit France, nor will we purchase any French products. Further, I will encourage everyone I know to boycott your country until such time as the French government does the right thing by refusing to support militant, murderous dictators.

Sincerely,
etc....

Now there is a creative idea. I wonder if they would play that game. Nothing like Americans to come up with ingenius ideas.

Good for you! (P.S. Buy California wines. They're better anyway.)
