OH NO!
Chirac's "fury" to be unleashed!
What can it mean but a run on linens, white ones, at the department stores across France...!
It's highly amusing that France can't seem to be a milifraction as emphatic with their "fury" for anything worth a damn.
Indeed!
It's funny, I was reading in the "Berlin Diary" in a bookstore, about an account whereby a French tank troop encountered a German panzer troop and had begun to push them back as the Germans had to retreat given that they were out of shells for the tanks.
Well, the order came from the German brass to turn on the French and return fire w/ whatever they had, only small arms fire while making it appear that they were mounting a panzer assault. The French, according to the author, then fled at the mere sight of a German attack being mounted.
Oh, so French! I was laughing my brains out! On their own home turf! What a bunch of [w]ussies!
