Frogs are up! White flags for sale!

Anyooo, the French are really grasping at straws, here.

"War is always an acknowledgement of failure"

Well, froggy, I guess you guys can testify to that!

Seven Al Qaeda Killed, Two Bin Laden Sons Reported Captured

Maybe they aren't sure of their identities yet.

Saddam can hide things so effectively that neither inspectors nor the U.S. can find them. Therefore, the only thing we can go on is the honesty of Iraqi declarations and active cooperation. Once Iraq lies, as it has done repeatedly even since the passage of 1441, we can no longer rely on their declarations and active cooperation. Since we cannot rely on those, inspections cannot work.

It's blindingly obvious.

My mom's first language was Spanish, then she learned English (her family is from Spain) but sadly I can only read it *L* I can't speak it worth a damn.

I ran out of strawberries and he's exacting revenge.

Try CNBC they said government has confirmed it

[Torie]

"proven their effectiveness"

That is a mouthful.

[Braak]

Why should we listen to noted cowards such as you..go surrender to somebody who wants you!

The smarmy French guy says "we" are leading the disarming process. Who the he** is we? He is impeding and obstructing the process.

First 5 floors of Waldorf Astoria evacuated:

A bomb scare forced the evacuation late Thursday of the Waldorf Astoria hotel in New York where diplomats were discussing possible compromises for a final U.N. resolution on Iraq.

According to reports a suitcase with wires sticking out was found at the hotel, near United Nations headquarters on the east side of Manhattan.

U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell was reportedly at the Waldorf Astoria Thursday night for talks with representatives from other United Nations Security Council members over a possible resolution.

The diplomats were in New York for a key meeting on Friday. Hans Blix, chief U.N. weapons inspector for Iraq, is scheduled to address a closed meeting of the Security Council starting about 10:30 a.m. Friday. DEVELOPING///

Why do I hear the voice of the Shrieking Nun when I think of Dominque de Villepin?

Breaking news---sons of OBL arrested in Pakistan!!

Breaking News Thread, includes detail...

AP: Sons of Osama bin Laden Arrested in S.E. Afghanistan???

I am currently reading a book on the first Gulf War.

This has all happened before. The same posturing by the same nations - France making deals with Arafat to intercede on their behalf ... Russia holding a firm "Nyet" until the last minute ... etc.

One big difference, Bush 41 would not have gone without U.N. approval, Thatcher would have.

Villepin est un ver!

[cyncooper]

Rush now saying reports are conflicting on the sons arrested story. Not totally disputed, not totally confirmed. Stay tuned.

"I don't think Rush does have the latest. I was just telling my radio that he needs to get on FR."

:) :) :)


Rush now saying info continues to conflict, whether or not we got the sons we must be very close.

Is the French Weasel going to report why the French sold the Iraqi's spare Mirage parts in January around the embargo?

Sen Stevens of Alaska called it International Treason by the French when he spoke on the floor of the Senate.

Huh? Was that directed at me or the French guy?
