"Mr. Bush can say two things: First, 'Thanks to my intervention, Iraq has been disarmed,' and second, 'I achieved all that without spilling any blood.' "

I bet Chirac loves telling his mistress everynight how wonderful he is!

"Are there other weapons of mass destruction? That's probable. We have to find and destroy them," he said.

Then why don't you tell us what they've got Mr. Chriac? You sold it to them!

Boycott Everything French! Let's shut their already tinkering economy down. Let's see how much they care about "peace" when the unemployment rate hits 30%!

True, but the French are head and shoulders above anyone else.... when it comes to surrendering.

"Mr. Bush can say two things: First, 'Thanks to my intervention, Iraq has been disarmed,' and second, 'I achieved all that without spilling any blood.' "

There's some problems with that, cheese boy. First, Iraq has not been disarmned and the UN can never accomplish that no matter how many blue-hatted blind multicultural inspectors you throw into the mix. and so, if Bush said this, he would have to lie to do it.

That would be just fine with France, wouldn't it? Kind of like saying that Vichy France wasn't pro-Nazi.

the other problem is that blood is spilled on a daily basis in Iraq right now, and Iraq will go on spilling blood outside of its borders through its agents and proxies like those in the Philippines. And every day we wait, more blood is shed, so I would say that it's Chirac who thinks bloodshed is wonderful so long as it's done by tyrants who sell him cheap oil and buy lots of French weapons and tech.

Have the French overcome their little incontinence problem? You know, the one where they show their superiority by whizzing wherever they want to- up against churches and temples, onto siding, into stairwells, in flower pots, anywhere but in a john?

An archaeologist friend of mine had all sorts of problems when he had foreign students, including French exchange students on his site... they took the students over to a local mall to give them a chance to do some shopping and such, and the French got arrested for indecent exposure after they kept whipping it out and peeing into the tropical foliage inside planters in the mall- right in front of families that were there. (Even the French women dropped trousers and made deposits on the plants!) After they were obnoxious to the security personnel the professor had their butts sent back to Europe since they had already proven to be more trouble than they were worth.

I was just reading last night about the fall of France in 1940.

Naval Chief of Staff, Admiral Darlan was asked repeatedly to take the French fleet to Britain.

He stalled and stalled. Britain could not allow those vessels in the hands of the Germans.

The Brits had already evacuated over 75,000 French troops to their isle... it was common sense that Darlan would steam for Britain.

The man had none! Churchill had the Royal Navy take them by force. Over 1000 members of the French Navy died fighting their allies.

***"I love junk food" LIKE FRENCH FRIES?***

On his radio show, Cigar Dave said they are no longer called French fries--they are Liberty fries.

He also recommends calling German Sheppard dogs by their original name, Alsatian Wolf dogs.

They certainly are experts at Cowardice. Maybe we should have done this the 2 times Paris was at risk, but no; we saved their sorry asses. And now they offer expert advice on what they know best!

Little OBLs? What's the problem? If they're pint-sized, I'll go over there and kick their butts myself.

Hey Jacques, go build yourself a Maginot Line.

I'm beginning to think the French like to watch Americans die.

I love my AMERICAN born and bred poodle who I named Freedom's Rocket too. BUT I agree with DUBYA, the madman MUST GO.

The French Government issued an indefinite ban on fireworks after soldiers at a nearby French army garrison surrendered during last week's fireworks display at Euro Disney.

He also offered Bush "friendly advice" how to bow out

Bush ought to remind this jerky dude that the US saved their arse more than once BUT will not do it again.

Seems to me that Chriac is suffering from some nervous condition. Watch his body movements.
