Not a big surprise. The French have no backbone. They caved in WWII before a fight, formed a government to kiss the Nazi a$$, let us save them, then vilified us because Mr. DeGaulle had gotten his rather sizable nose out of joint because Eisenhower kept him under wraps so he couldn't screw it up until we liberated France. The resistence fighters in France were Communists then and the whole country is left of left and left of green. Never count on the French. After many promises they almost missed the War of Independence also, showed up after Cornwallis was defeated and kept him from fleeing back to england. That was just before they had their own revolution, more like a bloodbath.

The French support terrorism... they wouldn't let our F111's use their airspace when we hit Libya awhile back. They won't really support us now. We don't need them, can't depend on 'em, why even talk to 'em? "W" said "if you're not with us, you are against us". It's pretty obvious the french are part of the problem, not the solution.
