Here's how Cavuto signed off today, on his "Common Sense" segment!

Cavuto On Business ^ | 3/27/03 | Cavuto

[darin2risk]

Never mind that France wanted nothing to do with getting rid of Saddam and wants everything to do with rebuilding Iraq after Saddam. Here's the kicker: France says Britain and the U.S. should not have a role -- it's up to the United Nations to decide.

So, let me see if I've got this right. France offered not one soldier, not one plane, not one tank, or ship, convoy or grenade. Not one missile. Not one drop of blood. And yet, France is going to decide the new Iraq?

Well pardon me, Pepe, but I don't think so.

I don't know what amazes me more: How callous the French are, or how arrogant they are. People are still dying in Iraq and they are already tripping over their corpses to cash in on Iraq?

France couldn't lift a hand to a rifle to help us, but is more than willing to go for a few of their precious Euros to screw us?

We fight and die to free a people whose suffering you more than happily ignored. And they saunter in to set up shop so that they can merrily profit?

Please tell me the French word for chutzpa!

France schemes to sell brie, after we've given blood?

France plots business storms, while our guys are choking in sandstorms?

France notifies the world they're ready to do deals, while we have servicemen in this country notifying families of killed soldiers they're ready to do funerals?

What the French lack in guts, they more than make up for in nerve.

France wouldn't help the Iraqi people when they needed rescuing, but is more than willing to dive in and take the money because maybe France needs rescuing.

The French are as morally bankrupt as I hope soon they will be financially bankrupt.

Pity the poor country that calls you a friend and realizes the hand it's holding, is only digging for spare change.

You sicken me."

[William Terrell]

It may be off base but this my reasoning.

Even the French must know that this is over the top. Given the context in which we see this occuring, there can be no way this could be justified, and any reasonable man, even the French inspite of our jeers and catcalls. So in what context could the French be seeing the situation that would lead to such a bonehead public statement?

Well, you might have noticed that Congress did not declare way under the constitution. It passed a resolution authorizing the president to carry out UN sanctions against Iraq spelled out in (if I don't remember the numbers, these are close) 678, 867 and 1441 each one empowering any member state to carry out their provisions. One provision, if I remember correctly, is the use of military force against Iraq for refusal to comply.

We are presently on a UN mission, the only thing different is that the Security Council did pass another resolution. But we have plenty of live resolutions, so we had to go on the authority of the ones already passed.

France is still a member of the UN and a permanent member of the Security Council. Since we are doing the UN's bidding, as evidenced by the resolutions of the US Congress, the outcome will be still be governed by the UN, and French controlled factions will have influence.

It's possible that France+clique can convince a majority that America has done a brilliant job on their part (under UN authority, of course - with evidence of the acts of our own Congress), now it's time to begin the restructure phase and other members need to get involved in that, the UN being a league of cooperative nations.

Plus I have heard President Bush say things that lead me to think he's going to involve the UN post-war.

France might more accruate than we imagine.

[Ligeia]

This is exactly what the French need a good dose of....thousands of copies of this Fable sent to each and everyone of its politicos

Maybe Rush or Sean will start a campaign like whoever did with the cowboy boots and Americans can furnish French libraries with thousands of copies of "The Little Red Hen." Not the new pc version, but the REAL version! School libraries to show we're hopeful for the next generation since this one's hopeless :^)

Cavuto is becoming one of my favorite FOXes!

Is this it? I don't see how any Froggies would be at a US military base in the first place.

"écorchure qui n'est pas atténuée"

(Babelfish for 'gall without mitigation')

[CyberAnt]

When my mom (90 years old) heard this - she said, "oh I wish I could just give Neil a hug".

[FrogMom]

That's two in a row. Yesterday's (I think it was yesterday) caused me to send him an immediate email, it was slamming journalists.

[HiTech RedNeck]

We fight and die to free a people whose suffering you more than happily ignored.

Not to mention, dear France, squashing the head of a viper which, from your Muslim demographics, you would have been able to avoid for maybe 10-15 more years, tops.

[lainde]

Thank you for the Cavuto post...I like him so much more than O'Reilly! If you have a Cavuto ping list please include me! I feel very deprived now that they don't repeat his segments in the evening!

[andysandmikesmom]

Cavuto is brilliant....his commentaries the last three days have been beyond brilliant....Short, succinct, to the point, and excrutiatingly truthful...

[longtermmemmory]

BUT there is no LAW that says that. The French started making a feta Cheese and started calling it French Feta Cheese, must to the anger of the Greek nation which holds a similar to champaign position. The case is pending in the EU. The french do not care.

Given the b**stard behavior of the French, I see no reason to keep this unwritten rule for a word that is so universally associated with sparkling white wines. Belgun waffles are not all made in belgum, vodka is not all from Russia, china is not from china. There are pleanty of regional products whose name defines the product now made everywhere.

Come-on California, not all of you are THAT weird. How about it, a nice bottle of California Champaign with a stars and stripes motiff on the label.

[Doc On The Bay]

Try "Asti Spumanti---"

My Wife & I Regard "Asti" as FAR SUPERIOR to mere "Champainge!"

BTTT

[seams2me]

France might more accruate than we imagine.

If by "accruate" you mean, out for what they can accrue, I would agree. If "accruate" is merely a misspelling of "accurate", how appropriate. LOL

[Grampa Dave]

Sounds like the travel boycott is starting hit the Fr$nch Whore$ in the pocket.

[Grampa Dave]

Yes, thanks for the ping re the travel drop off.

Only a masochist would go to France during this decade.
