The Perfidy Of The French...

BTW, the UN's predecessor, "The League of Nations" thought that Hitler was someone they could work with. Ya, right...

This is a good essay, but it has one major flaw : about the time our forces were making minced meat on Mutla Ridge out of the pirate Iraqis fleeing Kuwait, Saddam fired a scud tipped with a concrete load right within 200 yards of where he told us and the Israelis he was going to samck; Saddam's accompanying message was, 'I have other things I can load into these and drop them in TelAviv, Haifa, selected targets in Saudi Arabia, etc.'

Everyone on the inside of the administration, including Colin Powell, knew what that would do to the entire Middle seast and they knew we had no credible answer for it and were not prepared to prevent it. After the inspectors went in, we found out that he did have 'other things' he could have sprinkled around the Middle East. Blaming Powel for suddenly turning 'dovish' is absurd in light of these facts. We were blackmailed.

This time around, we will not be blackmailable in the same sense. We will prevent the scud launches with technology the Iraqis cannot counter. That's why this nation will not be told of the close hour for jump time. Probably three hours into the assault, the president will inform the nation ... but CNN will already have aired the start by driving to Jordan to post.

That the entire of the democrat party seems unable to grasp the notion of blackmail tells us a lot about the rats ... they know all this and still claim they see no reason to attack Iraq.

Oh, and another fact, pal.
The French planted trees along the road leading into Paris, so the Germans could stop and rest in the shade.
FACT

[FBD]

Really?

Who stormed the beaches on D-day?
The French?

[FBD]

BTW, I'm Norwegian, and there is a 100 per cent chance that if your ancestors are French, then my ancestors kicked your ancestors butt! Ha!

In fact, the Vikings dominated the Normandy area of France so much, that King Charles III gave it to them. (911 A.D.)

Look it up, it was the first Normandy invasion. LOL :^D

[FBD]

Oh those fierce french fighters...do pray tell us,why did the French plant trees along the roads leading into Paris, before the German occupation?

[MHGinTN]

It's not the French people so much, Karl, as it's the weasel leadership.

[FBD]

As are you, indeed. G'nite.

Germans----French

[FBD]

Here, this might help you, FRiend! G'nite again...

[JudgemAll]

Pi$$ in their crack, as the vulgar French like to say

[philosofy123]

Do you have problem with providing shade to tired soldiers? Have a heart man! :-)

You can work within the UN as a member, or simply withdraw from the UN, and even NATO. I certaily think that the US is a huge market, and the only super-power, it need not to sit next to raghead country as an equal. In the mean time, as long as we are a member, we should afford all countries, including scumbag dictatorships respect and equality.

[FBD]

Sorry, I went off on you in that earlier post

You should put your quotes inside sarcasm tags, so that square-headed Norwegians like myself who don't understand subtle humor will not go on a tangent on you, FRiend! Here, let's try it and see what happens.

There;...Oh see, NOW I get your joke...LOL! [;^)

Ah, you were joking right...?

[FBD]

"No other nation in the west has an equivalent history on such a scale of 2000 years history, and no other nation had such an impact on the western culture."

OK, Karl. I'm going to give the French their due in respect to culture, in this post. I would argue that the Romans gave us more. I mean we did pattern our gov. & legal system after theirs, no? (Although I question the wisdom of having Senators, sometimes...;^)

But you French have definitly contributed to culture; French kissing comes to mind...
And hey, my favorite musical is Les Mis`erables...you should try casting as Inspector Javier, I think you'd be very good. You know, he was very series, very series, and very dogmatic...hmmm.

You French have the best Merlot; our American Merlots often have a grassy taste, for some reason.

And as for your cuisine, your French fries, toast, and dressing are the best in the world!!! No es cargot, thanks...

Well, off to work,
Sign me: Square-headed Norwegian, and nasty ignorant french basher. ;^D

PS. In spite of all their culture, Frogs just love Jerry Lewis...now something just ain't right there...

[Travis McGee]

Well I am certainly eager to see how the next month and year do play out!
