Americans Hold 3 French Fighters Terrorists in Iraq

[Rummyfan]

Send 'em to Gitmo! Connaissez-vous Cuba?

[Peach]

The French know how to fight?

"Two of them have admitted they came to make Jihad (Islamic holy war or struggle) against the Americans ... They will be tried in Iraq," said Bakhtiar Amin, Iraq's human rights minister. "They are criminals and we are here to see justice is done."

Woo-hoo!

[TheForceOfOne]

French Fighters? isn't that an Oxymoron?

[PilloryHillary]

"French" and "Fighters" do not belong together in the same sentence. They are terrorists....and FRENCH.

[<1/1,000,000th%]

So the French did send troops.

[OldSgt.]

Headline should read, " Americans Bury 3 French Fighters in Iraq"

[pissant]

French Foreign Legionaires?

[Ursus arctos horribilis]

Ah, the smell of barbequed Islamist Frogs in the morning, smells like, like, victory.

They should turn them over to the villagers who killed and burned the eight terrs who threatened the village for voting.

[JillValentine]

For sale: French rifle. Never fired. Dropped once.

[Mr. Mojo]

.....these three people of French nationality

Of Algerian origin, most likely. The new France.

......an attempt by France to have the men face justice in France

Fhagetaboutit, Frogs. These criminals will be tried in Iraq, by Iraqis.

I suppose the French are already in the process of crying to the UN for their release.

[An Old Marine]

French President Jacques Chirac and President Bush will seek to smooth over differences when they meet this month in Brussels. Chirac is also due to visit Washington soon.

Here's the deal. I don't want to re-approach with the Frenchies. As far as I'm concerned I feel the same way about the French as I do snakes. A snake is certainly welcome to do its own thing but please do it far away from me.

My apologies to snakes everywhere for comparing them to the French.

[Servant of the 9]

France said Friday U.S. forces were holding three Frenchmen captured fighting with insurgents in Iraq

Maybe the President can have them in chains behind his Limo when he comes to visit?

So9

[Rubasoo]

When are we going to threaten to behead them?

[garyhope]

Are they "real" Frenchmen, native Euro Frenchmen who happily eat pied d'cochon, drink wine and eat alot of cheese, not non wine drinking, backward, primitive, women hating, ignorant African, Arab, Islamofascist terroist thug scum Frenchmen?

[Alberta's Child]

This is an interesting position in which France finds itself. My guess is that they will cut these three loose and pretend they never existed in the first place, since they can't "officially" acknowledge that French citizens have taken up arms as "insurgents" in Iraq.

This is exactly the same position in which Jordan found itself last year, due to the large numbers of Jordanians who were fighting on behalf of the "insurgency" in Iraq. Mosab al-Zarqawi, a Jordanian national, has already been tried in absentia in Jordan and convicted of a number of major crimes in Jordan itself. This was a move the Jordanian government took to make sure everyone understood that he is acting on his own in Iraq, and with no aid or assistance from Jordan in any official capacity.

To be honest with you, I wish the U.S. would start treating illegal aliens the same way when they commit crimes here in the U.S. Don't treat them as criminals, treat them as foreign invaders -- and let the government of their country of origin bend over backwards to placate the U.S. and pay restitution on their behalf, or risk having some kind of sanctions brought against them by the United States.

[big'ol_freeper]

Bet it did not take them too long to surrender. They'll have to remove the panties from their heads before someone thinks we put them on them.

[Chi-townChief]

Maybe these guys can be chefs at Gitmo.
