Pentagon Adviser: France No Longer an Ally

Someone finally said it, and someone big: France is no longer an ally of the United States, and NATO "must develop a strategy to contain our erstwhile ally or we will not be talking about a NATO alliance," the head of the Pentagon's top advisory board said today.

Richard Perle, a former assistant secretary of defense in the Reagan administration and now chairman of the Pentagon's Policy Advisory Board, condemned French and German policy on Iraq in the strongest terms at a public seminar organized by Iraqi exiles and American Middle East and security officials.

It's about time we told those Surrender Monkeys where to shove it. If their thumbing their nose at us after we bailed them out in TWO World Wars is their idea of "gratitude," then those idiot frogs can consider themselves On Their Own.

Nah, it just means that France can join the rest of the third world countries where it belongs.

This should be a hot topic and I'm surprised there haven't been more responses to it in the hour it's been posted.

Perle is calling it like it is and it took some huevos to do that. Iraq, North Korea are sideline problems that will be handled in time by people like us. As usual...

But the future problem will be France and Germany, once again. These people just can't seem to get it right, maybe the third time will be the charm?

Watch the EU very carefully.

FRANCE COULD PLAY A VITAL ROLE IN THE UPCOMING WAR if surrendering becomes necessary, they are experienced.

I'm afraid that's the root of the problem. I suspect that it will be revealed (sooner than later) that France has ignored the arms embargo and sold questionable materials to Iraq. Frankly, I wouldn't be surprised if Powell mentions this today.

I believe you're right -- the earmarks are all there.

"...that France has ignored the arms embargo and sold questionable materials to Iraq."
