Thank you France!
Force an Israeli ceasefire with a promise of peacekeepers and then send a fraction of those you promised with next to no authority to engage in anything supporting keeping of peace.
Drop 100,000 tons of ordinance on Iran...then ask them to stop what they're doing in Iraq and Lebanon.
If we don't get the response we desire, drop another 100,000 tons. Repeat as necessary.
It is 2008 and might still makes right in this world. Like it or not, the lion will get his share.
Thank God we have great warriors like John McCain to lead us in this time of need.
