March 27, 2003 -- WHEN President Bush flew to Florida yesterday, Air Force One's menu featured "stuffed freedom toast" since F- - - -h is now a dirty word, but the broader question is how to fry the F- - - -h for stabbing America in the back on Iraq.

Since we are apparently in the minimal force paradigm, we should conquer france as soon we are done in Iraq. The Marine guards at our embassy are sufficient force for the job.

Nahh, they aren't Iraqi conscripts. I think we need to include the Marines from our embassies in Spain and Italy too. The F####h need to see an "overwhelming" force in order to surrender. A 3 pronged attack should do it.

When in England at a fairly large conference, Colin Powell was asked by the Archbishop of Canterbury if our plans for Iraq were just an example of empire building by George Bush.

He answered by saying that, "Over the years, the United States has sent many of its fine young men and women into great peril to fight for freedom beyond our borders. The only amount of land we have ever asked for in return is enough to bury those that did not return!"

It became very quiet in the room.

CM+NT Others, like former Secretary of State Lawrence Eagleburger, predict coalition forces will find embarrassing documents in Baghdad on French links to Saddam - Iraqis reputedly keep meticulous records - and they should be made very public.

Ever notice how the totalitarians keep records this way (Soviets, Nazis, etc.)? I recall reports that the French embassy staff stayed behind in Iraq after the other embassies evacuated and they were busy in Iraqi government offices. Our assumption is that they were destroying incriminating documents. Why else would they have been doing that at such a time?

I like all the other suggestions. Out them on how they need our help to have submarines, ignore them, ignore the U.N., pay attention to New Europe, Britain and non-Weasel Old Europe.

Also, we should look for any opportunity to eject France from the G8 (if they have a severe recession) and instead place Spain in there (which is what Spain wants). Spain has had remarkable economic performance in the last fifteen years and they warrant it anyway. To include Spain and eject France from the G8 would really rub some salt in the wounds. Also, we should simply discontinue the political part of NATO (to which France belongs) and instead only hold meetings of the military arm. It is, after all, only a military alliance anyway.

I attended a company dinner last week. The executive holding the meeting, a retired military man, informed everyone at the beginning of the meal that they could have anything on the menu except French food. He proceeded to order every appetizer on the menu except escargot, and ordered domestic wine. A four-star restaurant, the dinner tab was a couple thousand dollars.

The point was made to the waiters what was occurring as to the French boycott. I have no doubt that management will consider this event in the future when making purchases.

I hope that events like these are occurring throughout the U.S., and that we force the French economy into a depression.

Hades will freeze over before I make another trip to Paris unless it is in a military uniform to raze the place.

That sounds good...but when did this meeting happen? Is there a source document?

Thanks.

We'll have to ask Powell if said that or not or not. Either way it's true.

Let's do some unconventional bombing of France...

Imagine used tampons from all the women in America raining on Paris...
