When Woods called his "ruling class" comment a "reductio ad absurdium", I nearly fell off my chair.

I did my heart good to hear some intelligent, reasoned, and sane commentary from Hollywood.

I had my doubts about James Woods, considering some of his roles (Roy Cohn, The Onion Field). But after hearing him yesterday, I'd support him in any movie he made.

No surprise there. Besides, Chirac is too busy tearing apart the Ivory Coast to worry about French surrender plans in Iraq.

How many Frenchmen does it take to defend Paris?

We don't know, they've never tried.

You're either with us, or you're with the terrorists. France is now a terrorist nation.

Here's a partial map of targets for after the US has finished with Iraq & NoK.

Yes, but it's a French knight (man at arms more likely) who's making the comment.

"Over the Hills and Far Away" - modern version;
(from SHARPE'S EAGLE)

Four thousand dollars on the drum,
For those who’ll volunteer to come
And enlist to fight the foe today,
Over the hills and far away.

O’er the hills, we will attack
Afghanistan and then Iraq;
George Bush commands and we obey,
Over the hills and far away.

When duty calls me, I must go
To stand and face another foe;
But part of me will always stray
Over the hills and far away.

O’er the hills, from sea to land,
Iraq, and then on to Iran;
George Bush commands and we obey,
Over the hills and far away.

If I should fall to fight no more,
As many comrades did before,
Then ask the pipes and drums to play
"Over the hills and far away".

O’er the hills, pro patria,
Iran and then Arabia;
George Bush commands and we obey,
Over the hills and far away.

Then fall in, lads, behind the drum,
With colours blazing like the sun,
Along the road to come what may,
Over the hills and far away.

O’er the hills we will advance,
Through Belgium, Germany, and France;
George Bush commands and we obey,
Over the hills and far away."

Didn't the French surrender to Greenpeace, too?

Well, they did sink the "Rainbow Warrior."

Better yet, just don't wear 'French ticklers' and don't get the 'French disease' or take 'French leave' ....

Remember, Hell is the place where the Politicians are French, the Police German and the Cooks English.

"France is 100% behind us on the war on Islamic terrorists. Save your hate to the haters, the Moslems!"

I know that was a repost from philosofy123, but....we just wish France would stand BESIDE us for a change instead of hiding behind us while appeasing terrorist dictators.
