Hmmm ... I don't use any cosmetics, I drink American or South American wine and eat Kraft cheese. Renault still builds cars? BTW ... I have two GM cars in my garage.

Do you have anything substantial we could boycott? ;o)

My thoughts exactly!

[The Wizard]

Bill Crystal saying this is the beginnign of the French retreat

[Humidston]

Crystal says French wavering and Germany is left sitting out on the end of that limb, LOL!

[txradioguy]

The French sold a version of the Mirage to Iraq and Libya called the F-5. Almost the same as the Mirage F-1 but without the powerful search/attack radar

[Robe]

We're going in no matter what these clowns say.....

How did Colin Powell do in his U.N. presentation?

He provided some new information, but not enough for the U.S. to go it alone.
21%

His case was so weak that the U.N. should consider suspending arms inspections.

The Mods have asked that we not post DU material. Repeatedly.

The Mods are, like, my favorite band ever.

"Hey Frenchie, you can't see the proof from under your Mama's skirt!"

[xsmommy]

didn't sound like it to me, did it to you? they want MORE time, MORE inspections and DARN IT YOU IRAQI RASCALS, YOU BETTER COME CLEAN OR WE'LL GET REALLY REALLY MAD. that is all i heard.

[justshe]

Mexico telling what their position has been.

They have made direct contact with Iraqi gov. in the past.

They reinterate their call for Iraq to make active active cooperation and colaboration.

Mexico calling for strengthened inspections.

[Catspaw]

Good idea! Here comes Mexico. He's going to spend seven minutes saying we need more inspections. Here's my translation:

blah blah blah blah blah

blah blah blah blah blah

This can also be used for the French, Russians and Cameroons.

[Barnacle]

Since it was the left that called for the delay, one must wonder if that development would trouble them in the least.

One must wonder whether the left should be viewed not merely as negligent, but as a committed enemy of the United States and World peace.

[this_ol_patriot]

Hehe Fox guy said it was we often see from the French...a retreat.

[MoscowMike]

Howdy

Hey, relax it's the French, they have to be French.

We demonstrated that Iraq is in categorical material breach, that saddam is armed to the teeth with WMD, therefore, the French urge surrender.

That is quite believable.

They're French!

[DoughtyOne]

France: We would like to lead the world in a sane response to Saddam Hussein.

[Constitution Day]

LOL!

[twinzmommy]

My live internet feed went down :( Is there another free one out there . . .

[AFPhys]

France: "Strengthen 1441"

LOL... No, ROTFLMAO ... There is NO way to make any stronger resolution other than by putting every acre of Iraq at cannonpoint... which is what the frogs and peaceniks have been determined to subvert.

[twyn1]

golly -- I am so pissed i can't even type (well...actually I can't type even when I'm not pissed, so ignore that)

[Mr. Mojo]

The long (dis)graceful retreat/surrender by the Frogs has now officially begun! They'll now have a long, painful month of attempting to get on our bandwagon without losing face.
