"I doubt he'll be coming to the ranch any time soon,"

Yep, with year round "open season" on weasels, his safety couldn't be guaranteed.

While I might quibble with the style of reporting here, it's still a good thing. The French press, at least, understands that Chirac has caused a great rift.

And perhaps the French public will begin to wonder whether it was worth it.

"Hopefully, the past tensions will subside and the French won't be using their position within Europe to create alliances against the United States, or Britain or Spain or any of the new countries that are the new democracies in Europe," he added.

Finally somone says it. France was not merely saying "non", but looking to create new arrangements to benefit its interests, and hurt ours.

Look to France to be running to Iran as its new ally.

Note: The French Press Agency neglected to mention the grass-roots American economic boycott of French products, instead focusing on "cutesy" little things like Freedom Fries and Freedom Toast. The anti-French sentiment here goes much deeper, mes amis.

Chiraq wouldn't come even if he WAS invited.

It's common knowledge that in Texas they shoot varmints...

"And perhaps the French public will begin to wonder whether it was worth it."


Agree. But I think IF the french really openned their eyes, they would see their real problem is the influx of a rapidly growing muslim population in France..... and that their concern should be a bit more focused on extremist Islamic Fundamentalists who will, in a few years, have a nice little base there to exercise some power..... and terror.

At least the French have already threated to expell any clerics that preach that stuff. Wonder what might happen the FIRST time they do expell a muslim cleric.

W will leave his cowboy boots just outside his French hotel room. Bet they're buffed by the time the paper comes round in the morning.

Islamic terrorists don't really need France to export terror. They can do it from Yemen, Afghanistan, or even Indonesia.

That's not to say the France doesn't have an immigration problem, but it really doesn't bother me. If it drives the French out, I might wonder whether it's progress.
