Gee, it seems almost as though France has an almost "unexplainable" fear of war with Iraq, even if we win. What are they afraid of?
They remind me of the Rainman when Tom Cruise tried to get him on a plane. The stakes were raised beyond belief until he got his way.
France aint getting their way and I am a little concerned that they would rather destroy all aliances in the civilized world than get caught with their hand in the Iraqi cookie jar.

Don't ever forget that the French denied the US overflight permission when we staged the raid on Lybia!
The French have done not one thing to assist the US in our war on terrorism, even going back 20 years.
Their behavior never changes.

They're going to get caught when the war goes down, regardless. Their only hope of getting away with it was to come discreetly clean to the U.S., and give us full support on the war effort. In exchange, all the French fingerprints would magically "go away". No harm, no foul.
There must be some other game afoot.

"France aint getting their way and I am a little concerned that they would rather destroy all aliances in the civilized world than get caught with their hand in the Iraqi cookie jar. I agree. So it must be something worse than the hand in the cookie jar huh? Now, what could be worse? Evidence that the French provided intel to Saddam during Gulf War I? Hands on help with Saddam's nuclear bomb progam? Makes one wonder, huh?

The cowards are afraid of an uprising of all those islamofascists that they shouldn't have let into the country in the first place. Pure wimps. We should bomb Paris and destroy all those nice, historical limestone buildings that were left untouched only because of their cowardice in WWII. They deserve it.

"What are they afraid of?"
My newest theory (one which is based on evidence I've heard) is that they fear the world will learn from the newly liberated Iraqi bureaucrats that France, Germany, and Russia have not only supplied WMD components during the sanctions-period, but have also TAKEN MASSIVE MONETARY BRIBES from Saddam to obstruct us in the Security Council.
I do not put it past them.
Saddam has been paying 100x market value for rifles from the axis of weasels.
He also paid the Frogs 200 million for (I think it was) construction work that has been valued at just 50 million.
No, it wouldn't make a difference for anyone's national economy. But it might make one hell of a difference to a bunch of corrupt socialist politicians' personal economies, if you get my drift.
And if you remove the fear of Saddam, these details, if true, would surely come to light.
