I just saw a thread stating that their air craft carrier (singular, read "French navy") is in the gulf. What do we make of this in light of the current post?

We can only hope that some terrible tragedy befalls France and they come begging to us for help and President Bush tells them NO!

Dear France,

In the words of the Seinfeld soup Nazi...

"No oil for you!!"

Good. That makes it clear. When we find their dirty fingers in Saddam's armoury we can show the evidence to the world.

Let's hope that multilateralism dies an appropriate, timely, and highly public death. For too long it has been a cover for accountability.

Good news. All they would do is weaken the line anyway.

I think this is GOOD news. If they DID join, I would be very concerned about operational security.

PARIS –– British Prime Minister Tony Blair fails to persuade France to join coalition ready to take quick action against Iraq.

When Churchill was asked how he felt when Italy invaded France in 1940, he said,

"It seems only fair. We had them last time".

Good riddance to the soon-to-be Islamic Republic of Tours.

We're not coming back this time.

I was watching Apocalypse Now Redux last night - one of the more interesting parts put back into the film is when they encounter the French plantation.

I thought it was hilarious when the owner of the plantation says, "World War II, we lose, Algeria we lose, Vietnam we lose!". I guess they've decided the "only winning move is not to play". ;)

Hopefully, Powell's presentation tomorrow will completely marginalize Chirac
and Schroeder, and we can end the charade that France and Germany are our "allies".

[GVnana]

Heard part of the press conference. One reporter was practically apoplectic over the "Old Europe" characterisation and mentioned Rumsfeld by name. My, my. Hit a nerve!

Chirac, don't slip on your Brie on the way out.

[rintense]

Then France can F- off!

[happygrl]

That is Great News.

Now they can't, ahem, Weasel in on the bennies of Iraqi liberation.

[syriacus]

I'm not surprised that Chirac's country is refusing to side against Iraq.

After all, Jacques Chirac was known in the 70's as Sheikh Iraq, because he was such a good friend of Saddam.

Well, if nothing else, the coalition will smell better...

[Bluntpoint]
