Just heard on Brit Hume's show that word is, Hezbollah has threatened France with the same attack that was done on our Marines in Beirut, if they send a large contingent to Lebanon. As usual, the French Surrender Monkey's caved.

Come on man, they've had this jobs program for years. I'm surprised you haven't heard about it.

Why 400?

All they need is one, to sign the articles of surrender on behalf of France...

Maybe someone posted this already, but I'll post it anyway. Because I like it.

On August 26, 1944, General Patton wires General Eisenhower upon entering Paris: "Dear Ike, today I spat in the Seine."

Will the French be issued their white flags before leaving or upon arrival in Lebanon?

You have no understanding of the proud military traditions of the French Republic. Shame on you.

The French should like the mission. Not only are they not expected to fight, they are not allowed to fight. They are there as human shields to protect Hezbolla from the Israelis.
