PARIS, March 17 -- French Foreign Minister Dominique de Villepin denounced the United States today for planning to wage war against Iraq, saying such a conflict was in clear violation of international opinion and risked "serious consequences" for the Middle East and the world.

De Villepin issued the forcefully worded, written statement this evening, hours before President Bush was scheduled to deliver a U.S. television address on Iraq. The minister reaffirmed the French position that war was not justified now because U.N. inspections were effectively disarming Saddam Hussein's government.

The consequences are series.

THIS JUST IN: Foreign Minister of Human Slugs (apology to slugs worldwide)
and French Opportunists Villepin was asked what he thought of French arrogance, stupidity,
terrorophilicity, and incompetance. He stopped, shook his head, held his nose, and said,
"Oui, France is a shitty little country of cheese-eating surrender monkeys,
BUT we are now on the side of Greenpeace rather than attacking them. "

[linear]

It is true, the consequences are serious. Seriously bad for the French, and seriously good for America.

Dumminique will always be remembered - on the page marked "history's greatest appeasers".....

[shrinkermd]

The French seem bent on committing social suicide. They have elevated this problem far beyond they need to. There must be a significant interest on their part to keep Saddam in power.

Lessee; serious consequences:

• No more Arab weapons of mass destruction.
• The possibility of Arabs discovering the joys of democracy.
• Israel surviving. Definitely serious. Definitely NOT what the Frogs wanted.

SHUT THE F**K UP FROGS!

[saluki_in_ohio]

Hey, Dominique, we are just trembling in our boots at the consequences.

NOT!

[Uncle George]

Oh, just what are we going to discover the frogs have black-marketed to the butcher of Baghdad; Nukes? bios? chems? We will see when its over, huh.

[VRWC_minion]

Next up. France does the "we are still relevant" speech.

[Madame Dufarge]

I love the smell of panic in the morning.

[demlosers]

"serious consequences"

So the French think the "serious cosequences" clause in 1441 was meant for the U.S.

Eff'ing Frogs.

[TSgt]

LOL!

What a shame it is to have a President who means what he says... </sarcasm off>

LET'S ROLL!

"...was in clear violation of international opinion..."

So, now its the US, Britain, Austrailia, Spain, Portugal, Kuwait, Turkey, Poland, Israel, etc, etc, that are in clear violation of "international opinion". At what point is there a shift from "international opinion" to one of "Iraq, France, Russia, China opinion"?

[Calpernia]

At least it has FINALLY changed from violation of International Law to International Opinion.

"There must be a significant interest on their part to keep Saddam in power."

A Union Made In HELL!

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 hung for their crimes against humanity. Regrettably the knots where incorrectly tied and the distance of the drop was not sufficient to break their necks. They swung and kicked for almost thirty minutes before strangling to their infamous historical deaths.

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.

How France becomes the urinal of the world.

such a conflict was in clear violation of international opinion

What the @#$% does that mean? I didn't know international opinion was codified. Does that mean I can make a citizen's arrest if someone clearly violates Homer's opinion by playing Dixie Chicks in public?
