France is no longer an ally of the United States and the NATO alliance "must develop a strategy to contain our erstwhile ally or we will not be talking about a NATO alliance" the head of the Pentagon's top advisory board said in Washington Tuesday...

He said they would give the French on their inspection team intentionally wrong information as to their intended destination.
The French on their team would invariably tell the Iraqis in advance.
Tierney said it had to do with getting sanctions lifted so the French "day-after" contracts could be activated.
In other news of French betrayals, we had an operation in Bosnia prepared to snatch one of the bad guys--compromised when the French tipped him to it.
In NATO, the French have tried at every turn to exclude America from leadership.
Regarding anti-semitism, the remark "shitty little country comes to mind", as well as the singular coincidence of the Israeli Embassy in Paris being destroyed by "an accident".
My great-to-the-seventh grandfather left France, married Elizabeth in England, and arrived Staten Island 1699.
They are a nation of arrogant strikers refusing to work yet demanding subsidization.
They are Jew-haters who harbor Suha Arafat and deem Saddam Hussein infinitely preferable to George W. Bush.
They would be contemptible if it weren't such a waste of energy.
The wealth-inhibiting structure of socalistic systems cannot ever stay even with, let alone compete, with the wealth creating systems of capitalism.
Translation: The socialists (EU) can't ever keep up with us millitarily, because they always go broke, even withou any military. See Germany and France for confirmation. They have no military to speak of (can't afford it), and are still stagnant, becuase of the rampant socialism.
Actually the French were our first and best ally. The English monarchy and King George III have the title of our first and worst enemy.
Tony Blair is a yapping poodle.
You, sir, are a genious.
Better yet, we should send them back right now, and tell them they are NOT wanted.
Pun intended?
Times have changed, friend. The France of Louis XVI is not the France of Chirac. There were a number of important transitions along the way it would be foolish to ignore. The United States and United Kingdom are bound far more closeley than the U. S. and France.
PS: And the elitist there know this full well. That is why they stand up to the US in the face of much evidence to the contrary of their position. This is nothing more than the roaring of a mouse. For they also know full well that after Saddam falls, the full measure of their duplicity will be revealed for the world to see. They have sold out the security of the world community for their own financiual gain (ditto for Germany, China, Russia).
I agree with many of your points, but English propoganda was instrumental in bringing America into WWI and creating the conditions for WWII. Hence, thus and perforce I have a very low opinion of 'the truth' as framed by 'Great Britian'.

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."
Well, I would say that, by including the word "thinking" in your description of Pat Buchanan and Lew Rockwell, you have defeated the entire premise of your arguments.
But, by all means, stay and play ... there's nothing more hysterically funny than a PJB/LewRockwell supporter circling squares in trying to rationalize such "thoughts".
That's a policy utilized for enemies.
