Has she cleared this with Chirac?
The world just keeps getting more ironic by the day.
To: Mind-numbed Robot
Do you find it interesting that they are willing to wait until they need nukes?
To: hershey
France? France cannot take care of its own population.
Item 1 - Widespread Mad Cow Disease in all French meat for decades
Item 2 - Widespread (~50,000) deaths from sunlight last year.
Item 3 - Government-accepted slaughters of Jews and burning of synagogues and churches.
France? Forgetaboutit. Poland and England are the new Europe.

She said that France has a mobile, flexible and highly-motivated military and that it was the second or third best in the world.Yes it was, in 1812!!!

This article was posted over at LGF. The posters to it there seem to be reaching a consensus : the "rogue states" France is threatening aren't Third World/Islamic terrorist states ; rather, this is meant as a warning to the US and Israel. At the very least, it's an attempt to make EU states rethink their reliance on the US's military, in favor of France. What do freepers think? To whom is France giving this warning, and what is France's motive?
(I am getting very tired of France and the antics of its politicos.)

Sabre rattling with a butter knife. I did some training with the french back in the 80's. I'm not making fun of them at all when I say that nukes are their only hope.

So in the future, the Moslem state of France will nuke germany to save it by sending the people to heaven?
To: cwb
Is Chirac worried about being seated next to saddam?
Perhaps one dirty deal too many?
Perhaps French Intelligence services have more anti-american activity than just stealing tech from US companies for French Corporations.
To: Constitutional Patriot
France is reminding the world they have nukes. Does France have a reason to fear US Military invasion?
What every did happen to the Vichey? (Is Chirac related?)

They don't have to do that, they will just stick their hands out and sell everyone out they can and then vote against anyone helping them.
I trust Saddam as much as I do the French and truth be known Russia is more credible.

Exactly right. This is a threat to us. The french are now poodles belonging to the chicoms. The chicoms have been making deals (and trouble for us) all over the globe.

I beleive this "announcement" can be equated to a fictional Frog on top of his castle yelling "I fahhht in your general direction!"
