Found the same sentiment in Der Spiegel today.

The French will shut the hell up and let us do what we need to do. They will, in the end, even help us, if we need it.

BUT - it does remind me of a joke:

Why are all the roads in France lined with trees?
Because German soldiers like to march in the shade!

You know while were at it, why don't we drop a few bombs on the frogs. If were going to do this, lets do it right.

Ya just gotta laugh at these bozos. The french really know how to bite the hand that saves them. May I suggest that the next time they need us we just yawn. And may I be the first to start a boycott of french wine, french travel, french perfume, french fashion. What have I missed?

The world Economies will collapse and most of you will be out of a job in cities where cannbalism will provide the only food supply.

You're still intent on being the court jester of Free Republic.

And you'll fall face first in your booze stil defending the Muslim horde.

These are the same people who denied the f-111 crews airspace to get to tripoli. Hey, you forget the Germans are NO LONGER A DIVIDED NATION.

That took even less time than cynical me would have thought. I was guessing they would wait until we had pinpointed the perps so they would have known precisely who to surrender to. We've got a tough row to hoe in this war.

What would their reaction be to someone blowing up the Eiffel Tower? I bet they would be loaded for bear.

True to form? Yes. Le francais sans vertebrae. Wonder if they'll be denying us fly-over rights. We'll go into battle with MIGs flying alongside us before the Gauls join our crusade.

This is good. If the French were supporting us enthusiastically it would be a DANGER signal.
