FYI - this originated from a recent spat a few weeks back featuring a belligerent French diplomat telling one of our State Dept. folks how much they hate us and we're evil warmongers, etc., and the frogs said something to the effect, go ahead and leave, take all your warmongering troops and leave, to which our US representative asked the arrogant French SOB whether that meant we should take our fallen buried in Normandy as well.

Actually, I think that was Dean Rusk to Charles DeGaulle back in the late 60's when The Nose said he wanted all Amrican servicemen off of French soil.

It is time to make an expample of France. Congress needs to put full economic sanctions in place backed up by a carrier group. They are not our friends. They are our enemies. People need to understand this. Posters from France need to consider how mad AMERICANS are and they have only added fuel to the fire. France owes us a public apology. If the french"men" want to be cocky then...we can also handle that.
