Here's a bad Babelfish translation - not as good as the one you have provided, but good enough to get the meaning:
Barack Obama wrote in Jacques Chirac The US president comes d' to very address a letter "sympathetic nerve" to Jacques Chirac, according to l' expression of this last. "I am certain that we will be able during the four years to come to collaborate together in a spirit of peace and d' friendship in order to build a surer world", writes the successor of George W. Bush to the predecessor of Nicolas Sarkozy. While evoking the word of "peace", Obama pays a homage implicit to l' action of l' former French president who s' was opposed to the war in Iraq. An American intervention against which the future US president s' was opposed as senator, at the time of the vote to the Congress.
Now if we can just keep this in French and out of the sight of the American public...
That's a lie;
the clip you linked to is about Zero's "special Olympics" comment on Leno.
“Too late. France can literally go to hell.”
- As a European, I can understand your bitterness.
But why all of this whining?
Get back in business again and give cross-atlantic cooperation another chance. It’s never to late to defend the very values that our civilization is founded upon.
We Europeans let you down in the aftermath of 9/11, yes, but remember many Europeans think so too.
Also please remember we contribute to the WOT too, even if we Europeans, admittedly, still aren’t doing our fair share of the job.
Changes will come.
Europe won’t let America down forever.
You might want to see post 100. If you don’t read French, you can translate it in Babelfish.
Did you go back and read the post to which I was responding?
I posted a translation at post 116. I don’t think Bambi believes that Chirac is still president; I think he is purposely ignoring Sarkozy, who is conservative by French standards, and addressing Chirac because he and Bambi shared the same opinions on Iraq.
Seriously speaking, you're not suggesting that the French have in any way stood up to muslim fanaticism???
Any way at all???
Dang....Now that is funny!
Obama chooses to work with Chirac.
I mean whats so confusing about that?
Obama will only work with leftists.
Now what has Barry done...can’t a girl watch her Hallmark movie in peace!
Here’s an English version on another site. Note that it doesn’t say 0bie wrote the letter TO Chirac, just refers to Chirac’s comments about a letter 0bie wrote.
Not bad for a fish :+]
Sounds worse!
