I look forward to many, many crow pie festivals in Paris, Hollywood, and within the DNC.

Chomp - chomp!

"Bush said Thursday he was ready to move on when it comes to Franco-U.S. ties, but then slammed the French government with one of the most damning indictments of an ally possible by saying it wasn't clear that France cares whether U.S. citizens live in safety and security."

Touchdown!

The next time that Chirac visits the US, La Marseillaise should be sung in Rap backed up by a kazoo and a bongo.

Bush got that one right. The French have no concern for our security in their support of clearly hostile, brutal regimes such as Iraq and I'm glad the President is just not letting them get away with their nasty attempts at painting our country as the bad. Chirac and France are sickening.

"Let me be realistic, there is a sense of frustration and disappointment amongst the American people toward the French position," Bush said.

Bush said the U.S. and France will cooperate where it benefits both countries

Translation:


Up yours France. Don't look for us to do you any favors. If it benefits us then OK, otherwise, Bite Me.

Despite this, Bush insisted that France's opposition to the invasion of France "wouldn't influence my policies."
Freudian slip by the author?

OTOH, Chirac seems to be pretty anxious to curry the favor of anybody identifying himself as Jerry Lewis.

"I will have a good discussion with Jacques Chirac," Bush said.

to convince the American people that they are concerned about the security of our country

Does anyone here care about the security of the French? Why should they care about us?

Outstanding Psychological profiling being done by the GW team.

You speak with the effeminate French while maintaining arms length....thereby provoking a desire from them to do more to gain American attention and acceptance. With the Choleric Germans...no love period. We send subordinates to deal with their executive leadership while our executives deal with their subordinates, thereby "disrespecting" their Alpha linear thought-process' until they submit themselves to American leadership and influence.

The litmus will be when one or both of them "need" us and our support.

Please. Many Americans do occasionally hunger for real culture!

Rap is crap!

Screw the Frenchies!

You expect gratitude from the french for something that happened almost 60 years ago?

Brilliant - send YOU to the State Department.

"The litmus will be when one or both of them "need" us and our support."

Aha! But, have you checked the Euro/Dollar exchange rate this week? It is the highest the Euro has ever been.

Blair is running around Europe like a camel with it's head cut off trying to convince France, Germany, and Russia not to play ColdWar again with the U.S.

What a world.

Last I heard there are thousands of American soldiers buried in France who died protecting the French people.

A little fact remembered by most Americans and forgotten by the French!

The Arabs expect revenge for something that happened 6,000 years ago.
