France surrenders. Didn't take long.

[Logic n' Reason]

The top French General has offered to surrender all of his forces - and those of the French Navy and Air Force as well. He has not actually asked them yet, but feels they'll agree with him immediately.

He only asks that someone call his office and let him know exactly to whom he is to surrender. He commented that if he did not hear from someone by Wednesday morning of this week, he'll immediately surrender to his own image in his full length mirror. He believes that this surrender would be completely acceptible to both the Navy and Air Force.

France has a vital role to play in any invasion. It can send elite commando units deep into Iraq to give the Republican Guard refresher courses in proper surrender techniques. They're all naturals to begin with, so it won't take much training...

I really wish I was a talented online artist. I'd love to do an online graphic of a monkey in a French uniform holding a white flag and saluting...

France's top general

Now that is funny!!

I'm grateful I studied Spanish in high school instead of French. I'd rather be able to converse with aliens who are overrunning my country than with cowards who run away from everything.

Redundancy: France Surrenders

Why is this not surprising at all?

[kcvl]

France's top general flatly ruled out any pre-emptive strike against Iraq

We're suppose to be surprised by this? lol!

BTW, who the hell asked them anyway. We WILL defend ourselves whether France likes it or not.

The streets of Paris are lined with trees so the German army can march in the shade.

"France's top general flatly ruled out any pre-emptive strike against Iraq "

But I suppose a pre-emptive surrender is not out of the question!?!?

Is France just stupid? Oh wait, is Katie Couric in France right now?

[PBRSTREETGANG]

...Paris insisted the United Nations must take Baghdad at its word...

This makes perfect sense (to a Frenchman). Baghdad has ALWAYS been truthful before, right?

[tet68]

The French are as big a fools as the Democrats.
This is going to cost the world, and we will remember
where to send the bill.

[Centurion2000]

They have a general ??

"Armed forces chief General Jean-Pierre Kelche …argued that inspections could be far more effective than an attack. "

He's right! Far more effective than a French attack.
