The French aren't even good diplomats any longer. Talk about how a Western nation can fall, sheesh.

Triple mistake, what's that, freeing France from Fascists, ending genocide in Germany, and crushing anti-Western terror sponsors?!

Perhaps the French simply don't understand what "mistake" means, as in: Pissing off your largest national customer of wines and champaign is hardly a clever move when your own remnant of a nation already has 9+% unemployment.

I think they were more concerned with their arms contracts and $25 Billion dollar future oil contract with Saddam. With his regime gone, they re now saying that those contracts should be honored by the new Iraqi Government. Fat chance.

<< .... your own remnant of a state already has 9+% unemployment. >>

When the "unemployment figures" of every one of the squalidly-socialist EURO-peon states are expanded to include the millions of the otherwise deservedly unemployed who are either directly "employed" on the gummint dole or who are the recipients of grants , hand-outs and subsidies, more than half of Europe is unemployed!
