Indeed, we have so much to do together to promote democracy, security and development.

*snort* Yeah, sending your troops to help Muslim rebels over throw a legitimate government so you can have cheap chocolate. That really helps matters frenchy

In the Middle East, first of all, where Europeans have long been involved.

And managed to screw up royally.

Let us recognize without animosity that the war in Iraq deeply divided us.

Yep. You taking bribes to support Saddam really divides us deeply. Almost as deeply as that knife you stuck in our back.

The facts have been established and History will decide.

That france can be bought like a two bit whore.

But the important thing now is to turn Iraq into a real success story.

Which is why you should keep your mitts off. Every country you have you have touched has turned into a hellhole.

France has no other aim.

Except for bringing down the US and taking your place as the "Rightful rulers of the world". Hey, I think I know why the french and the Muslims get along so well. They have common goals.

It will not send troops there but it is ready to help train Iraqi security forces and resolve the debt problem, and more broadly, to help prepare Iraq for elections in January.

Gee and we would want the back stabbing weasels to do this because...?

America needs a capable, responsible Europe.

Not that we are ever likely to see one in our lifetime.

When they actually do become capable and responsible they can give us a call.

'America needs a capable, responsible Europe. And Europe needs a strong America, engaged in world affairs. Transatlantic cooperation has always been an essential condition for peace. Today, in a world that has become more unstable and more dangerous, our alliance is more necessary than ever. '

No DUH, Michael!

Where were you all when we called on you to stand and deliver? Protecting those who were lining their pockets with oil for food money and selling weapons right up to the very week before we went in!!

I understand WHY Bush doesn't point this out, but that doesn't mean I like it....

France's alliance with Islamic fascism is of far more concern to America than anything going on in western Africa.

Yes; France's alliance with Islamic fascism is connected with their role in the current civil war in Ivory Coast. For domestic political reasons, they're supporting the Muslim rebels.

Very nice.

The French are condescending and scornful of Americans, and have been for many years.

The French stood against us regarding Iraq, placing every hurdle possible in our path. They pretended to be taking the moral high road.

The reason for this is now clear. The French were profiting from the status quo, through the "oil for food" scam. Swell allies.

The French routinely support Palestinian terrorists and persist in anti-Semitism.

The French imperialists are using unilateral force against the people of the Ivory Coast, thereby aiding islamic terrorists ... again.

The ever-treacherous French are being overrun by islamists on their own soil, and will soon be squealing for help from the Americans ... again.

I hope we tell the cheese-eating-surrender-monkeys to take it to the UN.

A distinction without a difference?

What's going on in western Africa is and example of France's alliance with Islamic fascism ... and is of concern to America.
