I just saw a thread stating that their air craft carrier (singular, read "French navy") is in the gulf. What do we make of this in light of the current post?

They need to fill up, and want to use our tankers?

I say we do the same thing we did in WWII, sink all French vessels as they may be used by the enemy. Of course, then who will be left to fight Greenpeace?

They will hang in the background until after victory is won, and then want to march into Baghdad in the lead. It's the same thing they did in Paris during WWII, so why should it be any different now?

Probably that the propellers fell off the de Gaulle again and it can't get home.

It's either for food service for the fighting men and women ~~or the escape route for Saddam.

Posturing-pure and simple.They won't join the coalition but will tag along. France is like a kid with a new toy that won't play with other kids on the block. History will remember France as the the only nation that surrendered without firing a shot, rounded up its own Jewish people without being asked, scuttled her Navy instead of joining the Allies, sang and danced for the Nazis in cabarets and theatres, Told us that ALL Frenchmen were part of the resistance, Gave us Viet Nam, Sold a nuclear reactor to Iraq, Doesn't permmit US overflights, Didn't join NATO,never relinquished its colonial interests in Africa, And threatens to use the Veto we granted them at the UN after we saved them in WW2. The French are stinkers and everyone knows it.
