Sod the bloody Austrians, Germans and French. Let us smash Saddam Hussein, open the torture chambers and weapons labs to the light of day and make these opponents look undeniably stupid and shameful.

Bump!

The US Congress would probably pass a declaration of war against France in a minute...

[xzins]

They also attacked Powell directly.

How to Finesse France, Germany --

Agree to send in a CORPS (V Corps = 2 divisions) of Inspectors, but UNDER U.S. Leadership or "co" leadership.)

[Dog]

I am so sick of the French dictating to US..

Screw'em!!!!!!

[OldFriend]

The old world can take their view and stuff it!

[richardtavor]

Thank G-d for the UK. I've read some about Churchill and we hearing they statement that we're hearing from France. Churchill, Blair and Bush have guts and conviction.

[MadIvan]

I suggest we boycott anything French or German. Their economies are weak anyway. Squeeze hard and watch them gasp for air.

They want to act like they do, they should understand there is a price to be paid, and that price is that we won't have anything to do with them, much to their impoverishment.

I think the French and the rest of them should be 'inspected' to find out what the foot-dragging agenda is REALLY all about.

[rimmont]

Just in case you are having difficulty finding French companies to boycott, just remember that NISSAN is now French owned and controlled, specifically by RENAULT. This company is real big on "diversity" and multiculturalism.

[Centurion2000]

Funny, but isn't there a French carrier in the Eastern Med right now ?? I could see that one getting sunk if they don't move it out of the way soon.

[Sloth]

The only time France "hardens" is when they see a sheep in heat.

[SpinyNorman]

The US Congress would probably pass a declaration of war against France in a minute...Which is longer than it would take to overrun them. But what then? You would have to do some "nation-building" and unlike the Iraqis, the French are incapable of work, being only good for striking and smoking in open cafes. We'd be there for decades. Likewise the Germans. I could run over Belgium in my SUV. Austria hasn't produced anything of value since Mozart. No thanks!

Did someone say cheese eating surrender monkeys?

[bmwcyle]

The French are sinking along with the US Dems.

[MadIvan]

So the French dispatched their famous DeGaul aircraft carrier to the eastern mediterannean because:

1. as target for US planes.

2. to rescue Sadam Hussain

3. to scare away fish with the noise of their cranky washing machines (as if the french have a use for these....?)

4. they can't see where they are going because of frosted up windows...(thinking they were on a day trip to Calais)

5. to see how far they can go before the prop drops off

6. They can launch planes but not receive them because the flight deck is too short (need to be near land)

7. all of the above

"There is an alternative to war, disarming Iraq through inspections,"

That's most childish and irresponsible thing I've ever heard.

Nissan is ALSO being boycotted by the NAALCP for having ads that insult African Americans.
