"If we find that Hamas and Islamic Jihad are indeed terror groups opposed to peace, we may have to change the EU's stand. However, we must not limit ourselves to one, clear cut, position." – SO SAITH Maurice Gourdault-Montagne, Advisor to French President Jacques Chirac (August 25, 2003)

What is so 'funny sick' about this, is that France has been using Gov't money to build Mosques throughout their country for the Muslims that have emigrated there, for several years now.They are in some serious denial over there,but I expect nothing less than thinking such as this,from one of the highest advisors in the French Gov't.

Yes, it's a de facto surrender to all the Islamic immigrants that are taking over France, England, and the rest of Europe.

At last a political advisor who has the courage to say the same thing in public that he says privately to the President in the Executive Office. No more oversimplistic black and white, it's all gray goo.

How many deaths does it take to understand that Hamas is a terrorist organization?

But those are Israeli deaths, and Israel was described by a famously maladriot French ambassador as "that shitty little country". Hamas will only become a terrorist organization when and if it ever starts blowing up French.

Stick around! The 'libs' will try to promote similar insanity in this country in the guise of cultural recognition, or some such crap.

How much money have the French given these Islamofascist/kazi terrorist groups the past two decades.

One way to slow down that flow of money from France to the Islamofascists/kazis is not to buy anything made in France or by French owned companies.

French Products to Buycott

Make it a lifestyle to avoid French products or products made by what appear to be a non French company in America. The reality is that many of these companies like Wild Turkey are owned by the French.

Let them fear the American Street---our combined wallets.

"France has burned too many bridges!"

Lets keep burning those bridges that the slimey and worthless frogs keep trying to build post Iraq.

$crew the $limey Frogs with a Boycott and no vacations in Slimey Frog Land!


French Products to Buycott

We can resist their wines which usually come in behind the good Napa Valley Wines and Australian wines in blind tasting without French Judges like in the Winter Olympics.

We can do without French Products and services for the rest of this decade. Here is a list of French companies and their products to avoid for the rest of this decade. Please keep this list and send it to your relatives, friends and fellow conservatives via e and snail mail!

Browning is actually French Lite. It is a Belgium company, and the Belgies have been ever bigger PIA's than the Frogs this past year plus re Iraq. Rummy bitch Slapped them and has stopped a lot of their whining re wanting to try our generals, admirals, Cheny and GW as war criminals.

I need to get back to you re Winchester. One division is American owned and not Frog infected.

Okay, I reviewed my notes on Winchester.

Their firearms division is owned by Herstal, the same Belgian company that owns Browning.

In the states, Winchester Ammo, reloading products and other products used for self loading, is an American Owned Company.

Don't worry, John was from Utah which is fine with me. Love my A Bolt, and IMO Marlin does a better 94 than Winchester anyway.

More than 70% of "palestinian" arabs believe the murder of Israelis and other kaffirs to be acceptable behavior.

Kill every last one of the sexually-deformed sub-human bastards and run the rest the Hell off God's Mountains and out of Greater Israel.

And then declare peace.

Shalom -- Brian

I'll give the palestinians the benefit of the doube, I'm told 70% of our country supported Clinton too.

You're, deal with the terrorists, 70%, 90%, 10%, no difference, then declare peace and try to ressurect something from the ruins of Oslo for those who remain.

The ultimate irony of all this, if there was a "peaceful" palestinian nation out there to be formed, who among her neighbors would trade with her, provide support. Only one that comes to mind, Israel.

"...we must not limit ourselves to one, clear cut, position."

Um... OK, I'll bite: And why not? Are Euroweenies scared by a little thing called clarity? Or is it consistency which puts the wind up their backsides? How about an honest and simple desire to preserve one's self, and to do so the concommitant need to clearly and unambiguously identify sources of threat? Which of these basic concepts is so anathema to our limp-wristed cousins across the pond that they "must not" "limit" themselves to a single, fact-based, cogently worded, clear-as-day, inarguable position?
