Bush's mistake: respecting the French.

"We are all Americans," France's Le Monde newspaper proclaimed on Sept. 12, 2001

And we should have taken it as insult that day.

The French do not fight back in the face of aggression.

The French cower and cajole and hide and beg for forgiveness when they’re not even sure what they’ve done wrong.

If the French call themselves Americans again, we should all fly over there and give each one of them a kick in the ass, a swirly, and knock on the head with a ball peen hammer.

In its issue Monday, Le Monde called the war in Afghanistan a "relative" success and the war in Iraq "a major error" based on false pretenses.

Things might be better if "Old Europe" had helped and if Democratic obstructionism hadn't heartened the terrorists.

The only people who buy Le Monde just want to have a snootier newspaper to housebreak their puppies.

First, these cowards should mind their own business. Second, Jaques-Strap Chirac made a big fuss that the UN should send 15,000 peacekeepers after the cease fire between Israel and Lebenon; and subsequently the French ante up 400?

(who has that pic of the French troops in the inflatable rafts?)

"We are all Americans," France's Le Monde newspaper proclaimed on Sept. 12, 2001, speaking for millions worldwide in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks on the United States. Five years later, the respected daily carried a very different message Monday: Its lead editorial was titled "Bush's Mistakes."

Le Monde said "we are all Americans" because they thought America would roll over and play dead the way the French would have. Once they realized Americans weren't cheese-eating surrender monkeys, they knew they had made a mistake. The French might have been Americans when Nepolean was their Emperor, but they are not any longer.

Shalom.

the war in Iraq "a major error" based on false pretenses.

France opposing the United States brought oil deals with Saddam that would pay huge amounts of money to the French political elites and France in general.

Chiraq and his cronies are still very angry and blaming the US for them not getting their money.

Coming from France (and San Francisco), this is a compliment.

I don't think the French political elites have recovered from WWI.

The signature block says it all.

The original Le Monde editorial is often cited by leftists as proof of Euroscum "solidarity" with the U.S. that Pres. Bush subsequently "squandered" somehow. This is a lie. Those who make this claim cite only the title, "We Are All Americans", but not the text. This is because the actual text is simply more of your garden variety Euroleftist prattle, albiet toned down a tad for that particular occasion. The truth is, we are, we have always been, and we shall always be despised by the French. Thank God.

Aaaah, the French! What a touching tribute to us Americans on the anniversary of a horrible and recent tragedy, a terrorist attack on our soil. Something the French have experienced themselves. So it's easy to see their compassion, understanding, and camaraderie as we mark this solemn memorial. -end sarcasm

And giant barf! The French have once again proven their weenieness.

The Euroappeasers have gone mad and will be the first to live under Sharia. I give the Euros 10 years, then the Muzzies take over.

"We are all Americans," France's Le Monde newspaper proclaimed on Sept. 12, 2001...

...before they realized this would mean fighting and dying to bring terrorists & their sympathizers to justice.

Yes, Bush was mistaken if he thought the French would ever support THAT!
