"Le journal de dimanche" says, that 77% of the French oppose a war against Iraq under any circumstances. 81% are not convinced that Iraq hides WMD.
| On the bright side, this is a vast improvement on the 99% who approved of having their country invaded and overrun in 1940 without an iota of resistance. |
The French will do nothing to sway my opinion on our action.

Quote of the day material!
. . . whose job skills include, "You want fries with that?" Which is probably the extent of their exposure to anything French . . . . other than kissing.
Off subject, but everytime "funny looking men in Speedos" comes up, Mrs. Bat and I always fondly remember this elderly couple who would vacation at the (very, very pricey) Halekulani hotel on Waikiki. We saw them on a couple of trips and finally got aquainted......Chicagoese, fat, happy, richer than hell, and could give a sheeite what anybody thought about it! They were enjoying their later years (and she wore a thong!)....delightful couple, and we remain jealous of them!!

I had forgotten about that book. I believe I am just about fed up with these people.

ARTHUR: Well, what are you, then?
FRENCH GUARD: I'm French! Why do think I have this outrageous accent, you silly king-a?!
GALAHAD: What are you doing in England?
FRENCH GUARD: Mind your own business!
ARTHUR: If you will not show us the Grail, we shall take your castle by force!
FRENCH GUARD: You don't frighten us, English pig-dogs! Go and boil your bottom, sons of a silly person. I blow my nose at you, so-called Arthur King, you and all your silly English k-nnnnniggets. Thpppppt! Thppt! Thppt!
GALAHAD: What a strange person.
ARTHUR: Now look here, my good man--
FRENCH GUARD: I don't wanna talk to you no more, you empty headed animal food trough wiper! I fart in your general direction! Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries!

IMO, they aren't so much as forgetful as perverse. Having pulled their fat out of the fire twice, we are a constant reminder that they aren't a great power. So, they are trying to make a show of power.
The whole thing is pathetic. Since the U.S. isn't a Green Peace boat or a tiny African colony, they can't upstage us with a show of military power. So, they behave like U.N. sages as they prepare to exercise a veto which they manifestly never deserved in the first place.
I think we ought to take away their Permanent Seat on the Security Council and give it to Australia.
No bribes for oil, more like it. And no deals with the devil, either.
