I guess the French are good at sewage systems and excrement decontamination... they know it as a fact.

[lavaroise]

Do they know something we do not? Seems to me they would not be saying it if they did not know it.

[Bluntpoint]

The French answer their call: Septic tank technicians.

You can buy Mary Kay products online. If you do a Yahoo search for Mary Kay, there are several distributors that are directly connected to marykay.com. I liked L'Oreal a lot, too but Mary Kay is really nice as well!

Cock Chiraq cannot stand his irrelevancy. He shows he'll do anything to try for the spotlight, but his sincerity is greatly suspect.

[azhenfud]

It's too bad he understands the message too late.

[steveyp]

This probably already been stated, but by the time they mobilize the fighting will be over and their "men" will not be in harm's way.

Pathetic.

The French are dead to me.

[Grampa Dave]

In the meantime, each of us as American citizens can start our own personal war with the French without any governmental help, any grants or acts by congress!

Lets help this deranged and mentally ill country of frogs commit Financial $ocial $uicide.

Just $crew the Frogs with buycotts for the rest of this decade. Here is a simple list of products not to buy:

A list of French companies and their products to avoid for the rest of this decade. Please keep this list and send it to your relatives, friends and fellow conservatives via e and snail mail!

I'm asking for volunteers to create a good product list of alternative products. If you are an expert in a category or would like start a list of American or Ally products/services, let me know. I will list the alternative category and have your freeper name as the list keeper. That way people can freep you for your list. Once you get it set up and have a master copy in your FreepMail, you can just copy it for each reply to the request.

My wife tried to "french kiss" me the other night. I slapped her and call her a no good frog. I also told her to shave her legs.

[exhaustedmomma]

Thanks! Actually, this might really come in handy! If I can order online and have it delivered... helps out in my busy schedule!! Silver lining!!!

[Peach]

Ditto that Chirac had better pray, too. Perhaps Daschle will change his mind if Iraq uses WMD. But wait, he's already changed his mind. Daschle in '98 after Clinton signed the Iraqi Liberation Act: "Look, we have exhausted virtually our diplomatic effort to get the Iraqis to comply with their own agreements and with international law. Given that, what other option is there but to force them to do so? The answer is, we don't have another option. We have got to force them to comply, and we are doing so militarily." Daschle - even sounds French.

[faithincowboys]

F the french!!

[RonF]

Well, I don't know if I'm going to be able to give up Bushmills 16-year old single malt. I've got a canoe trip up into Canada and if I don't have my Bushmills I don't know if I'll make it up the portage trails.

Actually the first couple of days will be O.K. It's towards the end of the week that I need some medication the night before to get going the next day.

[Grampa Dave]

I noticed that you did not mention her shaving her armpits, so you still are a covert Frenchy! :)

[RonF]

That's it. To show my disdain for the French, I'm going to start using deodorant.

[RonF]

Why? I'll be going up into Ontario's Quetico Provincial Park, and I'll be leaving a few hundred behind at the outfitter (Canoe Canada, Inc.) for me and my son.

Now, I don't know what Canada's position is on this matter. But I do know they backed us in Afghanistan to the point that bodies got flown home with Canadian flags draped over them. Few other countries went that far.

[wasp69]

Wild Turkey?!? Damn!! Well, I guess it's Jack Daniels from now on. Who woulda thunk it? The best hillbilly idiot juice owned by the French!

[OrioleFan]

The French want to take up their normal role of "camp followers".

[maro]

The chemical weapons they sold Saddam.
