Apart from Iraq, what on Earth did the French do?

They wouldn't let US bombers fly over their country when we bombed Libya in 1986.

Something like what God told Job when he ask, "why me lord?". God answered, "something about you just pisses me off".

This question probably sounds very naive, but what did the French do except disagree with Bush over Iraq? It is not that the French disagreed with us over Iraq. There were other nations that disagreed, and we have no problem with that. Well, little problem with that.
It is the fact that the French did every conniving little trick they could think of, including threatening disaproval of EU memberships and bribing other countries to undermine a united front against Saddam. If it had not been for that, who knows what could have been accomplished without going to war.
In addition, they did this because of the illegal dealings they had with Saddam. They dealt with him for money, and opposed the US to cover it up.
As well, they have compromised efforts to capture and detain individuals who are suspected of attempting terrorist activities.
I believe these actions, in themselves, would be enough to cast doubt on their claims of "ally". But above and beyond all that, they smell.
Bad.

Exactly. Too bad it's in the wrong direction.
They badly need a latter-day Charles Martel.

Yes, and we paid them back in spades with a little something called WW I and WW II. This is/was our great hour of need, and the surrender monkeys turned their backs on the people of this country. Why did the french govt. do this? To protect their economic interest in the form of Saddam Hussein. They are vile, and to borrow a term from Monty Python, I spit in their general direction.
