French Want to Join War-If Chem/Bio Weapons Used by Iraq
CNN-just now | 3/18/03 | Mine Own Eyes

Posted on 03/18/2003 6:52:54 AM PST by Diddle E. Squat

Paula Zahn just read a story that in a conversation with between French and administration representatives it was stated that the French govt would consider everything changed if Iraq uses chem/bio weapons. Said that if this occurs the French would be willing to send anti-chem war support ASAP.

Jameson is owned/distilled by the French.

Bushmill's is really hard to find out who owns it.

I jsut e-mailed this to the french embassy here in the US.

I just heard that in the event that Iraq uses the chemical and/or biological weapons you supplied them, you would consider sending your forces to ‘help’ us. DON’T even think about it, do us all a favor and continue to support you buddy saddam, it is best for us to know were our enemies are. We want our enemies in front of us, not behind us!

Just pray to God that you never ever need us again!

Signed

Fine, let them clean up the environmental mess (and pay for it too). They can dig the latrines as well (that's a french word isn't it).

http://www.northantrim.com/old_bushmills_distillery.htm

In 1972 it became part of the Irish Distillers Group who themselves were taken over by the Pernod Ricard Group. 

Several of my ancestors come originally from North Antrim. It pains me to say so, but they have to be added to the boycott list.

I wouldn't allow those crimminals even close to Iraq. Their mission would be to destroy all evidence that they sold Saddam vast quantities of WMD.

I have so much respect for Tony Blair hanging in there - he's a very courageous man.

My thoughts exactly. Only I would add I respect President Bush's courage, also. The right road is usually the harder one to follow, the wrong road the easier--our President deserves kudos for traveling the path that he knows is right, but is much riskier for him personally and politically. Blair and Bush--two men I respect and thank God for.

Pres. Bush, Nov. 6, 2001:
"Over time it's going to be important for nations to know they will be held accountable for inactivity," he said. "You're either with us or against us in the fight against terror."

Apparently Jacques Chirac, (who was with our President when he first stated, in a joint news conference, that a coalition partners would be called upon to back up their support with action), was listening last night when our President explicitly singled out the axis of weasles.

Sounds like a smart idea, and what will probably happen. France, as smarmy as they are, are still useful idiots.
They just need to be controlled, lol.

THE BUNNY AND THE SNAKE

Once upon a time (allegedly) in a nice little forest, there lived an orphaned
bunny and an orphaned snake. By a surprising coincidence, both were blind from
birth. One day, the bunny was hopping through the forest, and the snake was
slithering through the forest, when the bunny tripped over the snake and fell
down. This, of course, knocked the snake about quite a bit.
"Oh, my," said the bunny, "I'm terribly sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you.
I've been blind since birth, so, I can't see where I'm going. In fact, since I'm
also an orphan, I don't even know what I am."
"It's quite OK," replied the snake. "Actually, my story is much the same as
yours. I, too, have been blind since birth, and also never knew my mother. Tell
you what, maybe I could slither all over you, and work out what you are, so at
least you'll have that going for you."
"Oh, that would be wonderful" replied the bunny.
So the snake slithered all over the bunny, and said, "Well, you're covered with
soft fur; you have
really long ears; your nose twitches; and you have a soft cottony tail. I'd say
that you must be a bunny rabbit."
"Oh, thank you! Thank you," cried the bunny, in obvious excitement. The bunny
suggested to the snake, "Maybe I could feel you all over with my paw, and help
you the same way that you've helped me." So the bunny felt the snake all over,
and remarked, "Well, you're smooth and slippery, and you have a forked tongue,
no backbone and no balls. I'd say you must be French".

Pernod Ricard is the owner of a lot of liquors made around the world.

Go to this website and watch the various brands appear. I don't have the skills to link a flowing video. Pernod Ricard Liquors and Wines

"We've already said that if our boys are hit with bio or chem weapons, that we will respond with nukes"

I must have missed when that was announced. I know that was implied in Gulf War I by James Baker.

It's morning and I'm slow...much too late, I realized a second part to that caption would have been "Chirac and de Villepin (the little one on the back) backpeddling".

L'Oreal! Gulp. I was reading through this thread hoping somebody would mention an alternative. I really like their mascara. I don't know any Mary Kay distributors, but was really glad ya'll mentioned them. Hope some other freepettes can recommend another good mascara!
