Ya got me....

but it's a good one. I'll have to steal it for my own use.

I liked the Simpsons quote at the source: "It's the ability to weasel out of things that separates the man from the animals. Except, of course, the weasel."

The germans might get mad, but the french haven't been so honored in years!

Thanks for the great laugh! A perfect analysis of a super "apology"!!!

Stay vigilent, stay armed, and NEVER trust a muslim or a liberal (both are terrorists, differing only in weaponry and technique)!

-- U.S. Secretary Defense Donald Rumsfeld apologized today for referring to France and Germany as an "Axis of Weasels."

"I'm sorry about that Axis of Weasels remark," said Mr. Rumsfeld. "I didn't mean to dredge up the history France and Germany share of pathetic compliance with ruthless dictators."

LOL... I like this guy

Kennedy to Search Iraqi Rivers for WMD

(2003-01-21) -- Senator Edward "Ted" Kennedy, D-MA, offered to help the U.N. weapons inspectors by personally searching the bottoms of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers for canisters of gas or biological agents.

The Senator, who had some experience diving on a submerged metal object in 1969, said, "Each citizen must do what he can to support the effort to disarm Saddam. I'm going to see if I can get to the bottom of this thing...as it were. I'm hoping to come up with something...uh...again, as it were."

Sen. Kennedy declined to discuss the specifics of his previous diving experience.

Iraq Invasion to Start on Normandy Beaches

(2003-01-21) -- If Saddam Hussein fails to disarm his country, the U.S. and a "coalition of the willing" will launch an attack on Iraq starting with a landing on the beaches of Normandy, France. Ground-based forces would then move across France and the Mediterranean Sea landing again in Syria for the march to Baghdad.

"Going through France may be the long way to get to Iraq," said U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell, "but it's worth it. We want to show our troops the land we saved from Hitler on our way to the land we'll save from Hussein."

French Foreign Minister Dominique de Villepin announced yesterday that his nation would wage a major diplomatic fight, including possible use of its veto power, to prevent the U.N. Security Council from passing a resolution authorizing military action against Iraq.

Secretary Powell said the troop movement through France would also serve as "unspoken negotiations with the French."

"Think of what it will do for their economy," Mr. Powell added. "I'm sure our forces will buy a bunch of cheese along the way. It's a goodwill gesture from us to them."
