Rice eating surrender monkeys. With apologies to Jonah Goldberg.
Let's hope so ;)
Hope is one thing we can embrace but I still pray every night...
Now that Saddam is gone, the Chinese must be Jacques new "Best Bribery Buddies".
I can't believe that any liberal/lefty thinks that France has a principled foriegn policy. Just goes to show you how dumb people can be. France (with Russia and China) were by far the main arms suppliers to Iraq. France tried to build Saddam a nuclear reactor. France took bribes and oil contracts in exchange for support of the murderous dictator Saddam. Now France, is chomping at the bit to sell weapons to mainland China which is menacing the vibrant democracy of Taiwan. The French even held joint military drills with the PRC at the same time Taiwan was having their elections. Of course the PRC does this every 4 years to Taiwan but this time France joined in on the fun. France does not stand for democracy, it doesn't stand for human rights, it does not stand for anything but cheese, croissants, and their own self-interests. No principles, no ideals. It is sad to say, but France is long gone.
Of course they do and they don't really care. They want money. If it doesn't directly endanger them they why should they care.
I'll be damned if the U.S. is going to taken a GLOBAL TEST administered by the likes of France. Non!
You jest, but as WWIV develops, France, Germany, and China are going to be on the other side. I don't have a guess as to whether it will be cold war or hot war, but the socialists in our country who persist in calling France an old friend are using their heads for corks.
Earlier this year, I predicted we would be at war with France by year's end. Sorry to say, we apparently have been for over a year...
it was just being repressed and covered up by the press, sort of.
Bush knows it.
Kerry knows it.
It's out there in the open with this kind of crap from jacque and company, their NEW best friends the terrorists and China, the terrorist puppet master.
Kerry has sided with the french.
Kerry is a traitor to our nation.
So should we in the US. The Worm wants to arm our enemy? Amazing.
I absolutely agree. France is a spoiler that profits from the schisms in a bipolar world. France is now desperately searching for a replacement to the Soviet Union in order to create an opportunity for it to scrape an existence from the slim that oozes out of the crevices of such schisms. Otherwise, France has absolutely no significance in the world.
You are 100% correct. France has been working over time assisting China in their force modernization plan. They provided some of the gear for the newest generation diesel elec. boats (subs), among other stuff. Iraq was a similar deal. When the Israelis took out the Iraqi nuclear facility (on a Sunday to minimize collateral damage), I am fairly certain that a French scientist was the only casualty, working overtime to arm the (then would-be) enemy, as usual.
We need to be alert when foreign governments use proxies to shadow box with the U.S. in an attempt thwart us by using/equipping elements hostile (or potentially hostile) to the U.S.
If I were running the big show, I would at least consider arming and equipping France's enemies in covert retaliation in an effort to bring down their country. They are doing the exact same thing to us. Think about it, that is precisely what they are up to.
If the US and China ever go to war, you can thank the French (among others) for the upgrade to the ChiCom mil.
Wouldn't it be something if China declared war on France. ha ha ha ha ha ha
George W. Bush will be reelected by a margin of at least ten per cent

I agree wholeheartedly. It's been a long time (if ever, really) since the French were friends of ours. And these days they are going out of their way to be treacherous. There will be a reckoning someday.
Just as long as the french arms are not lifted, can you imagine the smell?

No, Cornpone, the praying rug is YELLOW like the streak on S##tracks back.
Normandy is already occupied by Americans--unfortunately they were killed protecting France from the Nazis. What fools we were.
