France's maverick health minister, Bernard Kouchner, went as far yesterday as to put the attacks down to a "series of errors" by America. "America's made a real mistake in Afghanistan and Pakistan, which was to train the Taliban," M Kouchner said.

Why do we even ask the French?

These are the most contemptible people in Europe.

I've said it many times, and I'll say it again...F@#k the French.

I guess France and Germany heard Bush's remarks yesterday about harboring terrorists, huh?

With the French as allies, you don't need enemies. The bastards denied us overflight capability during our strikes on Libya, which resulted in the loss of one F-111 and its crew.

It will be interesting to see what the cowardly frogs pull this time.

If we've " made errors ", then what shall we call what France did at the end of WW1 ? How about crushingly STUPID, PALPABLY CRETINOUS IDIOCY ?

If the French and Germans want us to be reasoable now, maybe we should deport all of the known terorists here, to those countries.

"America's made a real mistake in Afghanistan and Pakistan, which was to train the Taliban."

I loathe this sentiment. Basic truth: Afghanistan was under the thumb of the Soviets, we gave them an opportunity for freedom. They screwed it up. Their fault, not ours.

The Frenchies...how dare they open their mealy assed mouths after inventing colonialism, destroying the Huguenots, butchering Algeria and Vietnam, and lying down in WWII. What do they know of reason...This from the producers of Robespierrie and Napoleon?
