Viva La France - French Military History in a Nutshell (Including *WAR ON TERRORISM*)

[Happy2BMe]

France's legacy as a bastion of liberty has caught up with her.

From the beaches of Normandy to the halls of the U.N. - France has run - and America has not.

France has many close allies in the Democratic Party of the United States.

How history will tell the story:

A. The U.N. sent inspectors into Iraq to find weapons of mass destruction - the same WMD Saddamn said he did not have. Forming new alliances, France, Germany, and Belgium, continually sought prolonged inspection times in their attempts to restrain the U.S. and Britian from attacking Saddam. The U.N. Council repeatedly ruled in thir favor.

B. Saddamn, while insisting (and convincing France, Germany, and Belgium) he had no WMD, at the same time threatened the U.S. and Britian to destroy them (WITH THE SAME WMD HE CLAIMED NOT TO HAVE) if they attacked Iraq.

C. The United States and Britian agreed that Saddamn had not complied with U.N. resolution 1440, had WMD, then attacked and removed Saddamn from power to prevent him (or other terrorists) from using them.

D. After the U.S. and Britian attacked Iraq, vast stores of WMD, chemical, biological, and yes - even some nuclear - were uncovered by the prevailing U.S. and British forces.

E. Saddamn and his two sons were tried before a U.N. tribunal and unaimously found to be enemies of minkind perptetuating mass murders on their own people of magnitudes and ferociouceness not seen since Adolph Hitler's actions created the word "genocide." They were summarily executed by firing squads for their crimes against humanity.

F. The Democrats in the United States had their worst election returns in the 2004 elections in that party's history.

G. George W. Bush was elected president for a second term in 2004 by the largest landslide in U.S. history.

H. Ditto for Tony Blair.

I. Hillary Clinton was defeated for his (grin) bid for reelection in New York State.

J. Thanks to the "footdragging" tactics of France and Germany througout the entire world crisis, the United Nations was made to be a laughing stock of historical proportions and was deemed irrelevent and impotent and consequently vaporized into nothingness as did it's predecessor - The League of Nations.

Here we go again...and its still funny. ;-)

Gotta love Frances' "proud" military history of surrender.

"Sadly, widespread use of condoms by American forces forestalls any improvement in the French bloodline. "
LOL

"They were summarily executed by firing squads for their crimes against humanity."

Firing squads are for military people, terrists are criminals and deserve only to be hung or beheaded like the animals they are.

There was one battle in which the French/Franks won that should be mentioned. The Battle of Pointers (Tours) in which Charles Martel stoped the Islamic Blitzkrieg in 732 AD.

He forgot the sinking of the unmanned Greenpeace ship "Rainbow Warrior."

"There was one battle in which the French/Franks won that should be mentioned. The Battle of Pointers (Tours) in which Charles Martel stoped the Islamic Blitzkrieg in 732 AD."

I'm familiar with the battle at Tours, but somehow using the words "France," "Islam," and "blitzkrief" all in the same sentence seem to become oxymoronic.

>>but somehow using the words "France," "Islam," and "blitzkrief" all in the same sentence seem to become oxymoronic.<<


How so? Is there sarcasm involved?

[Happy2BMe]

Tours happened in 732. The Blitzkrieg in 1939. Only 1207 years difference.

The battle of Tours ended when the French captured and killed Abd-er Rahman. The Moslem army withdrew peacefully overnight and even though Martel expected a surprise retaliation, there was none. For the Moslems, the death of their leader caused a sharp setback and they had no choice but to retreat back across the Pyrenees, never to return again.

While the French did fight valiantly at Tours (hey - it was that or extinction), the Muslims likely would have conquered them had it not been for their leader being slain in the battle.

France has a long legacy of "not-so-great" valor.

Chirac is owning up to that legacy in true French fasion.

They swung and kicked for almost thirty minutes before strangling to their infamous historical deaths.
