The are putting pressure on Saddam to pay what he owes.... And trying to make the last fast buck. Poor France is about to lose her most lucerative trading partner (read ally). Usually, trade partners stick together through thick and thin. I would not be surprised if the French Foreign Legion was deployed in one of Saddam's three rings around Bagdad; after all, its the least Franch could do, you know, send the foreigner's of the French Legion to fight as proxies....

It is going to be an interesting weekend, starting tomorrow in the capitols of the countries addicted to the teats of their cash cows, Iraq and Iran.

They will learn that Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton are not the president of America any more.

The wrong stand now will cost their countries dearly for at least this decade. Time for our government and us to use our $'s as the big stick and the tool to hammer those who enable our enemies.

Simple...the FAA needs to announce that due to insignificant
data on the effects of landing and take off by the Airbus A380 555 seater aircraft. No A380's will be certified to use American airports until a preliminary report is available in say 2015.

"Officials have been told they have been freed by "the highest authority" to lay into the French." ......It's TRUE, I did give them the "go ahead"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The 110 year old alliance between France and Britain is over. In the late 1800s, this alliance was forged between two nations who had been traditional enemies, out of common interests. The alliance was deepened through 2 world wars and, for all the occasional friction, a cold war.

However, it could easily have gone differently. But for a few decisions made on both sides, the alliance could have been Britain/Germany, with France/Italy/Spain on the other side.

That it has now broken up is simply a return to the world as it existed prior to 1890, albeit with a new power leading the Anglosphere.
