Well, well. If things were different on Sept 11, 2001- If the buildings in France were to be destroyed by terroists through airplanes, certainly things would have been different for French. Moreover, won't it be linked to Iraq? Certainly France would have done something in middle east.

:-P

[Mister Baredog]

President Jacques Chirac and his diplomatic team find themselves in the awkward position of criticising the war, hoping for its swift conclusion and yet knowing that a successful conflict will be seen as a defeat for French foreign policy.

Well now, we all knew it would come to this, after all France is always defeated, it is their "right". It's going to get real ugly when we get to the Iraqi govt files.

[Burkeman1]

Le Monde is the French equivelent of the New York Times. It is moderate Left Wing (in France that means not quite Communist). But what Americans don't seem to gather is that the opposition to this war crosses ideological lines all over Europe. La Parisean- the conservative daily and the number two paper in France is just as anti war as Le Monde. Left and Right in Europe are united in being against our war in Iraq.

The French are among the most odious, perverse, depraved, corrupt, and evil people on the face of the earth. I cannot even begin to verbalize the utter disgust that they inspire in me. To be perfectly honest, I value the life of an Iraqi far, far more than I do that of a Frenchman. While most Iraqis do not support Saddam, 90% of France supports Chirac. Post-war Iraq will be a far better country than France can ever pretend to be.

REGIME CHANGE IN FRANCE!

The French: A people slimier than the snails they eat.

The loss and damage to Apache helicopters early in the conflict prompted French parliamentarians to joke in private that the Americans would have been better off with French helicopters

Why don't they ship us some? Obviously they're not men enough to use them.

And another thing -- early in the conflict -- it's been a friggin' week!

[dyed_in_the_wool]

"They don't understand that if they lose, all the dictators, all the tyrants, all the proliferators will have a field day. Then what is the advantage for France in chaos?"

We won't lose, Pierre. We're giving the Iraqis their country. Comprende?

[Jumper]

Time for the US Newspapers to start carrying Front Page Headlines on French Support for Muslum Terrorists in Africa Against the Legimate Christian Government - and these French call themselves morale and civilized.

[ArneFufkin]

The dire character of the French predicament - with American soldiers on Baghdad's doorstep ready to rip open their rat's nest of complicity in WMD production, smuggled oil schemes and under the table Oil for Food kickbacks - is apparent in these media accounts. We are in a bizarre milieu of our allies conducting a furtive campaign of pure, coordinated disinformation and anti-American propaganda. They are openly sabotauging our efforts. They are pathetically desperate for a U.N. intervention before the Americans take Baghdad.

The French need to be seen in the same prism as China at this time. They are our dormant enemies.

[hope]

What else should we expect from the $hitty little country who aligns themselves with Saddam Hussein?

[Mister Magoo]

The French are the most worthless, lease principled people on the planet. They thought by appeasing Hitler with Czechoslovakia that they would avoid war. They didn't. And then, instead, of moving its government to London to continue the war, they capitulated, and then allied, with Germany. They fired on British and US troops landing in North Africa who were to liberate them. They profess to oppose the slaughter of Iraqis, but they themselves had no problem slaughtering thousands of Vietnamese and Algerians using torture tactics that would make Colonel Kurtz squirm. The French know they we are intrinsically generous people -- I have no doubt that after the war is won, the USA, in order to appear magnanimous, will in fact give the French post-war contracts in order to insure harmony. God, the French make me sick.

What the French Newspapers say:

"...Le Président Bush a les pieds stinky. Tous les Américains sont gros et ils ont un sens faible de modèle. Les Américains aiment manger des "hot dogs". Ils sont des peuples simples qui aiment leur "MTV". Ils n'obtiennent pas assez de sexe. Ils trouvent la jeunesse attrayante ! Imaginez cela ! Ils ne boivent pas du vin avec leurs repas. Au lieu de cela, ils préfèrent le ketchup sur leurs pommes de terre frites...."

[TopQuark]

Ivan, you probably either know this already or don't care; but just in case...ping.

[JimRed]

This reply only refers to the headline, for reasons that will be apparent. I did not even read the text because WHO CARES WHAT FRENCH PAPERS SAY??!!!

[tarawa]

"Watch out! It's full of Arabs!"

I like that....

[Roy Tucker]

Did the French press fail to mention that if they had not held the US and its allies up with its perfidy, this sandstorm would be affecting us as we were mopping up Saddam from his bunker in Baghdad.

The French government did everything they could to try and get us to delay through the summer, hoping we would get tired of the wait. To paraphrase Margaret Thatcher, "we're not for turning."

[TenaciousZ]

"People take pleasure in mocking the American troops for their suffering, their mistakes and reverses as if these obstacles in the path of war prove they are right to be against Bush."

Is Paris Match editor Alain Genestar still talking about France, or the Democratic Underground website?
