Good article. Conventional wisdom is breaking our way.

LOL! Did you see how much the bid is up to? $16,200.00.

You are a bit younger than I. I recall that France was typically trying to screw the US in any way it could. What I rememer is the DeGaulle era. The French don't like Anglo Saxons. It is in their blood. There are periods of passivity, but the secular trend is clear. Having said that, I like the French and admire them. They are persistent and tough, and clever, and distinctive, and accomplished in some areas of Western culture. It will all work out, particularly since most of the trump cards currently reside in the Anglo Saxon deck. Thus we can and should be tolerant and generous and turn the other cheek when we can. It is the sort of the tall man versus the small man thingie.

"France is no longer an ally, and should no longer be treated as such."

Amen, Richard! Tell it like it is!

I sincerely believe Hollywood is not inherently anti-American. They just cannot live without Evian water.

[Bonaparte]

LOL! Looks like an apron too. Nice touch.

While stationed at Ramstien AB Germany,my wife and I took a trip to Paris for a week long stay.The stink of the people,the way we were treated,the attitude of the French,we cut our trip short after 2 days,never will I go back to that sorry ass country.This was in 79,I'm sure they have a more bitter taste for us now.

"They just cannot live without Evian water"

They are backward and backward thinking and Evian spells Naive backwards

The French have been committing suicide for a couple of centuries. Nobody went in for contraception in a bigger way in the early 20th century. Soon, there will be no French, and the Muslims will blow up Chartres and Notre Dame, and that will be that.

As you know very well, I've seen through that crowd for quite a while.
For heavens sake, they didn't even create the French Fry.

What is really getting me mad about all this is we go through the international process and it ends up their so twisted that all they do is try and delay us or worse.

This sets up more resistance to what could have already been over in a few days.

Meanwhile the leftist/liberals/communists/progressives claim they want peace and there are no weapons of mass destruction, yet claim if we act they will hit our guys with gas and hit our homeland with weapons of mass destruction!!!!
That is so contradictory, how does their argument against war then hold up since they say there are no big weapons, but would use them against us if we go in?

What a bunch of A-holes we are up against.
They need to be outed and purged from civilized minds by doing what we need to in Iraq and then showing all that was actuall there. We need to display what the French and Germans both probably were up to there.

Lastly we have two former asinine talking ex-Democrat presidents who keep getting us in trouble and emboldening terrorist and dictators.

Just because Clinton was irrelevant and Carter was the most politically dysfunctional President, there is no reason to continue and hurt this country as they do. They are both such a disgrace. They are so....so...so..FRENCH!

[ServesURight]

Screw the French. And before any liberal FReepers blab about how the cheesies helped Washington during the American Revolution, let's just say they've been paid 100 times over.

[Bonaparte]

"...and the Muslims will blow up Chartres and Notre Dame..."

Why should they blow them up, when they make perfect stables for their camels? The French don't need them for anything but tourism, so they won't be missed.

After we wrap things up in Iraq, maybe we should liberate the good people of Ivory Coast from the oppressive rule of our former ally the French.

[Digger]

It would appear to me that the stakes are so high that France will approve or abstein from voting. The US leaving the UN - the elites cash cow! No way will these thugs allow that to happen, unfortunatly.

[noutopia]

Very well put,the French are slime,just like Clinton and the peanut boy.

[Bonaparte]

I'm right there with you, sport. And you know another thing? The French did not invent "french" bread either. The Italians did.

[A CA Guy]

They did not invent "French Bread"? The bastards...seems all they invented then would be the "BAD ATTITUDE"!!!
