Don't be too quick to dump on the Froggies.They know they have a serious security problem, and in major cities like Lyon, Lille, Marseille, Nice and Bordeaux, you'll find the electorate is a whole lot more conservative than the crowd that reads Le Monde.Paris and Strasbourg were to be prime targets of Bin Laden, and you can bet the French security services are working overtime at rounding up the networks in the burbs around Paris that harbour these maggots.The Eiffel Tower was to be the first target back in 1994..they are in it up to their necks with us,and they know it too.

The French are the French, and their press is really not our problem. Let'em squawk. They like to, but as long as they back this thing...and their butts are also on the line...just keep rolling. We must be breaking something with all our bombs. Who cares what they say to pose to their own people. Let's see what they do. They whine a lot, philosophize, write, posture...so what. We won't stop them. If they back off and betray us, we kick their human a$$ too, somehow. There are ways. People like foreign trade...especially ours. Let's keep our hands on the plow, and our eyes on the work. Let the dogs on the sidelines bark. Sticks and stones. We ARE hurting people. We will get the job DONE eventually, one way or another, or another after that. Armchair quarterbacks have time to look at their watches. We don't know what our troops are doing right now, or next. Soldier on. It ain't over till it's over. Who cares what the peanut gallery thinks. They just better know we're watching them, and everyone, too...from now on. Rolling.
