France will soon no longer be France, making all this history irrelevant. France is becoming a Moslem country, and is not Old Europe but New Algeria.

Hoo boy! This article is wonderful for frog bashing.

The one line that really hacked me off was the idiot that said, "There is no doubt that France and the United States are mirror images of each other," said Jean-Robert Leguey-Feilleux,..." Any adult that keeps a name like that after becoming an adult is a finer example of Frog idiocy and it's no wonder he could make that comment.

Even while their troops fought together in World War II, President Franklin Roosevelt and Gen. Charles de Gaulle fostered a mutual animosity that helped sour their governments' relations for a quarter-century.

Huh? They sure have a long history of offering nothing militarily, but demanding a controlling interest in the foreign affairs of nations that do.

Jaques is a pretty busy old goat. Besides constantly thumbing his nose at the US, he's been busy tearing up the Ivory Coast and the Central African Rupublic (coup yesterday), having sessions with Saddam on propaganda tactics and sucking up to Mugabe.

Channel surfing this morning and on CNN(The Chiraqi News Network, a moniker coined by savedbygrace) the infobabe doing the report from Paris about frog/American relations, basically said that Chirac thinks that "friends" don't let friends go into dangerous situations.

With friends like Chirac who needs enemies. I guess Chirac is fuming that his "friends", the Americans are going to expose his complicity with saddam.

"There is no doubt that France and the United States are mirror images of each other," said Jean-Robert Leguey-Feilleux, a French-born political science professor

More evidence of delusions of grandeur on the part of the French.

Like so many other articles, this one pretends that France and the United States just can't get along.

This mess is ENTIRELY Chirac's doing. Bush is doing what he has to do for the safety of the United States and for the stability of the world. France is playing dirty little games.

France has been making mischief for hundreds of years. This time they went too far.

A Union Made In HELL!

How history will tell the story:

A. The U.N. sent inspectors into Iraq to find weapons of mass destruction - the same WMD Saddamn said he did not have. Forming new alliances, France, Germany, and Belgium, continually sought prolonged inspection times in their attempts to restrain the U.S. and Britian from attacking Saddam. The U.N. Council repeatedly ruled in thir favor.

B. Saddamn, while insisting (and convincing France, Germany, and Belgium) he had no WMD, at the same time threatened the U.S. and Britian to destroy them (WITH THE SAME WMD HE CLAIMED NOT TO HAVE) if they attacked Iraq.

C. The United States and Britian agreed that Saddamn had not complied with U.N. resolution 1440, had WMD, then attacked and removed Saddamn from power to prevent him (or other terrorists) from using them.

D. After the U.S. and Britian attacked Iraq, vast stores of WMD, chemical, biological, and yes - even some nuclear - were uncovered by the prevailing U.S. and British forces.

E. Saddamn and his two sons were tried before a U.N. tribunal and unaimously found to be enemies of minkind perptetuating mass murders on their own people of magnitudes and ferociouceness not seen since Adolph Hitler's actions created the word "genocide." They were summarily hung for their crimes against humanity. Regrettably the knots where incorrectly tied and the distance of the drop was not sufficient to break their necks. They swung and kicked for almost thirty minutes before strangling to their infamous historical deaths.

F. The Democrats in the United States had their worst election returns in the 2004 elections in that party's history.

G. George W. Bush was elected president for a second term in 2004 by the largest landslide in U.S. history.

H. Ditto for Tony Blair.

I. Hillary Clinton was defeated for his (grin) bid for reelection in New York State.

J. Thanks to the "footdragging" tactics of France and Germany througout the entire world crisis, the United Nations was made to be a laughing stock of historical proportions and was deemed irrelevent and impotent and consequently vaporized into nothingness as did it's predecessor - The League of Nations.

Viva La France - French Military History in a Nutshell (Including *WAR ON TERRORISM*)
