Bush needs to resist this. France clearly sided with the enemy, negotiated with and intimidated Turkey and cost US lives. We must never forget the French who forgot and betrayed.

Sounds like Reuters is going a little Clintonesque - they have the same problem with "united front" that he had with "is".

Well, looks like the period of marching shoulder to shoulder with the Brits is fini.

French Foreign Minister Dominique de Villepin said after a breakfast meeting with British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw that he backed a pledge by Britain and the United States to give the United Nations a vital role in Iraq's rebuilding.

Surrendering again. At least they're consistent.

""We agree that the United Nations should be given a full role. The more united the international community is, the better the chances of the (reconstruction) process being successful," Villepin told a press briefing."

I concur with that statement.




So how long until we can get 50,000 frogs into the desert for mine-clearing duty?

Someone needs to explain to the British Foreign Office that stabbing the US in the back during the Reconstruction of Iraq will be regarded as little better than having done so before and during the war.

Britain -United States to give the United Nations a vital role in Iraq's rebuilding.

France - "We agree that the United Nations should be given a full role."

See la difference?  I say vital, as in necessary, you say full, as in
covering every aspect.  This is why diplomacy is so chicken shit.
There is no united front and the French are going to squeal like the
pigs they are when they find out that 'vital' means sending food.
