As exasperating as De Villepin’s answers were, so was Stephanopolous’ failure to press him on his country’s Iraqi oil interests.

I saw the interview and I actually thought George hammered him pretty good. It was Russert-like, in a good way.

Suddenly Evian costs the same as Poland Springs in the grocery stores.

It should cost less. .....Evian is far and away the worst tasting bottled water I've ever had.

France doesn’t regret its past role in helping Iraq build a nuclear reactor.

Their only regret is not selling Iraq already made nukes to use against Israel.

I would have asked what France was thinking about when they bombed Greenpeace.

I saw the "interview" if you could call it that. Stephie is and always be a Clintoon suck-up with leftist leanings. The French guy I could care less about.

The best part of the show is George Will correcting all the panelists mistakes.

FWIW, I've just received a repor from National Manufacturing Week in Chicago (a huge trade show) and my sales manager just insulted a Frenchman who walked off in a huff! Something about "Who cares about the French..."

Normally I would be upset, but these days I don't even care. In fact, I may give the guy a bonus when he gets back!

"CHIRAC IS A WORM"
(The Sun of London finds "le mot juste" for the verminous French leader)

The French are once again doing what they do best.

In the American Cemetery at Colleville-sur-Mer, near Omaha Beach in France, the bodies of 10,000 Americans are buried beneath crosses and Stars of David. These young men died saving the world from a tyrant named Adolf Hitler, whom nearly all of the French, for their own cowardly and hateful reasons, either passively appeased or actively supported.


The American Cemetery at Colleville-sur-Mer, near Omaha Beach in France
(The bodies of 10,000 Americans lie buried beneath crosses and Stars of David)

Landing at Omaha Beach, near Colleville, on D-Day (June 6, 1944)

Medal of Honor winner Lt. Jimmy W. Monteith, Jr., and the thousands who died with him

The French traitors Petain and Laval, the leaders of the collaborationist Vichy regime (June 1940)
(Both were tried as traitors after the war; Laval was shot to death and Petain imprisoned for life)

French Nazis enthusiastically welcomed the German Nazis into France (June 1940)

Hitler in Paris

Petain greets Hitler as the swastika is unfurled over France
The first to use the word "collaboration" as a synonym for his treason, Petain looked forward to a France controlled by Germany in a "new Europe."

(In the front row are Petain, Admiral Darlan and Laval)

Petain and Laval

The French worm Chirac had a worthy predecessor in the French frog Laval

French anti-Semitism on display for the world to see
(An exposition of "The Jew and France" at the Palais Berlitz)

"The Jew is behind it"
(More ugly French anti-Semitism blames the Jews for World War II)

Laval "collaborates" with the head of the dreaded SS in France

The French participated enthusiastically in the Holocaust
(The identity card of Berthe Levy Cahan, 37, stamped "Juif" (Jew) by the Lyon gendarmie)

A French Jew holding his identity papers is searched by a French policeman
(The French joyously rounded up and sent 80,000 French Jews to the Nazi death camps)

(The "brave" French were as effective against the Americans as they were against the Germans)

The Americans liberate Paris (August 1944)

Americans in Paris celebrate victory over Japan (August 1945)

Now, a half-century later, the French are again anxious to appease and support a tyrant. This time, it is Saddam Hussein.

The dead Americans, buried in French soil, have no meaning to the French, 91% of whom are against President Bush's plans to eradicate Hussein from Iraq.

Our brave French "allies" claim to have a 12,000-man contingent in training — equipped with only one amphibious assault vessel.

Yet again, the French seem to be in training to throw up their arms in surrender.

Axis of evil
(Jacques Chirac with Gerhard Schroeder of Germany and Vladimir Putin of Russia)

Like Germany and Russia, France has billions of dollars tied up in deadly Iraqi military investments.

It was the French who built Saddam Hussein's nuclear bomb-making factory at Osirak despite the fact that its name — Tammuz 17, the date of Jerusalem's destruction by the ancient Babylonians — clearly indicated Iraq's genocidal plans for the terrorist facility.


Friends of France (February 20, 2003)
(Chirac greets the tyrants of various African "nations," including Zimbabwe's murderous Robert Mugabe)

Iran's terrorist tyrant Mohammed Khatami gets the red carpet treatment from Chirac (October 1999)

Chirac defiles the American Cemetery with his presence (May 2002)

Q: What do you call a Frenchman on his way to Iran or Iraq?
A: An arms dealer!

An American college student traveling in France was told that if she were to face any threat of violence in France, she should say she is Canadian rather than American. The hatred for Americans runs deep in the French.

If the Americans wish to have the French as allies, all they need do is invade France. The French will lie down like the cowards they are.

Americans are urged to boycott all French products, to refrain from visiting France for business or pleasure and to spread the word that the French are not worth the dust on an American boot.

The frenchlings are at it again today. Someday, if France continues to obstruct our defense, we just may have to kick their asses. Unthinkable, but I never imagined a world where we get attacked and the French stab us in the back.

Let's just hope if that day ever comes that the French submit as easily to us as they do to Germans.

I have finally got around to reading David McCullough's biography of John Adams. In the book, McCullough clearly states that the French, acting through Foreign Minister Vergennes, only supported the Americans in an effort to weaken and embarrass Great Britain. France at that time, was still a monarchy. The passage was certainly poignant given today's events and that it appears that some things never change. Let's Roll!!!

"Having to go to war without France is like going hunting without your accordion. Who needs em." -- Donald Rumsfeld

Heard this on Jim Quinn's radio show. Not sure if its authentic, but it sounds good.

My brother, who speaks fluent French, and is a self-avowed Francophile

So the parents are counting on you for grandchildren, then, right?

I despised the French when visiting Paris in '72; then more bad experiences in Provence in '98. Obviously, nothing has changed.
