If one in three French back Saddam, he should not bend over to pick up the soap

only a third of the French felt that they were on the same side as the Americans

I am actually surprised the figure is that high.

Me too, and I wonder how they phrased the question and how sincere the responses were. Still, you know there must be some few good people left in France that have seen their country go to hell. God help them.

Last week the obelisk raised in their memory was defiled by red-painted insults such as “Rosbeefs go home”; “May Saddam prevail and spill your blood”; and, in a reference to the long-dead casualties beneath the manicured turf, “They are soiling our land”.

Forgive me if I say that were France to be utterly destroyed, I would not bat an eyelash.

This thread will require an Admin Moderator's full time attention.

I know that I will be keeping my mouth shut as usual.

Yeah, right.

Why don't the French take showers?

They prefer Baaths.

What is even scarier is that our government has not spoken out strongly and directly against frace yet we did directly disparage Canada via our embassador. Our administration needs to confront those French co(^ su(k3ers. Pull out of the UN and break up the EU !

Time to get serious about the French boycot. Buy American products in place of French.

And when they take the sword to the necks of the French, the French will get everything they deserve.

This explains some of it. Pass it around so their tourism industry dries up. I sure wouldn't want to visit them.

I can?t see any connection between the men buried at Etaples and the war in Iraq.

I guess just because France has their freedom, they should not give a rats ass about the Iraqi people getting their freedom from an evil dictator.
