Fred Barnes while on the panel tonight on Special Report just stated Chirac is urging the Turks not to allow us bases and overflight rights.

Time for a second Normandy landing.

They offered them membership in EU...

[CrimeOf73]

I imiagine Chirac is threatening Turkey with consequences vis-a-vis EU entry.

[Dog]

Bingo!

[DoughtyOne]

Chirac has completely lost any reasonable perspective. France, the French insults have finally reached the level where we can't ignore them any longer. They will rue the day they committed global political suicide.

Once the Allies turned over a large boulder in the field of The War on Terror(Iraq) what we found underneath sent waves of revulsion, betrayal, and fury through us. The war on terror is just that, a war. Iraq is but one campaign of many to come. I would not be surprised to see American occupation forces in France someday.

The Frogs had one purpose in this spoiler campaign; become the Masters of Europe.

They grabbed for the big brass ring, missed it, and are now falling off their horse.

Long term effects very negative for them.

So is Saddam blackmailing Chirac, or are the Clintons?

I'm only half kidding.

Turkish EU Entry Would Be End of Europe-Giscard

Chirak can kiss my chirac up, down, and all around.

It was they that "gave" the PKK mine clearing equipment, political cover, and funds to terrorize us with. It was they who allowed the pasting of our generals pictures on their subway floor.

So, I thought that I read many FReepers posts who claimed that this had already happened, and that we were "bought" by the French..

Those of you can also kiss my Chirac at great length..

This is simply amazing.....they have to pay....and I don't mean pouring some crappy wine in the gutter......they need to feel real pain...

[gatorgriz]

The unmitigated gaul of that weasel Chirac... They deny NATO self-defense assistance and then have the temerity to lobby Turkey against US access? It's beyond the pale! Damn how I despise the Frogs!!!

[MadIvan]

It may get worse - I was looking through Agence France Presse for further information:

French defense minister to travel to the Gulf

ATHENS (AFP) French Defense Minister Michele Alliot-Marie said she would travel to the Gulf region on Saturday and Sunday to hand over a message from President Jacques Chirac to three regional leaders.

Alliot-Marie is to go to the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia.

>> They offered them membership in EU...

That's like the governor of New York offering us statehood in the US.. Nonsence.

[madison46]

Has it been made official that France is an Enemy of the United States?

It's official to me. Some may not think boycotts work, but for my own sake, nothing french for me. Motel 6 is out as is any fancy sounding water. Defenitly no travel.

I'm really in HATE mode right now.

[Dog]

What is he up to now...

[Tactical]

After all that's been going on around the world, it makes me wonder if there isn't something going on we don't know about? Just to pose a question... could someone out there be trying to make a move on us? For example France, Germany, Russia or China or any combination of them?

Something seems terribly wrong for this kind of opposition over a piddly dictator like Saddam. Maybe these larger countries are actually the ones sponsoring terrorism and don't want to be found out?

Maybe we need to poke Russia in the eye and get the cold war started again to remind these players what it is they are facing in reality? Just throwing out some questions because there's obviously more to what we know than is being reported.

Why the meeting between USA, Britain and Spain this weekend? Seems like something hot is about to develop.

[Diddle E. Squat]

Good to see the French are still stupid enough to send a woman to these Islamic countries.

Alliot-Marie is to go to the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia.

Look where she is headed....

Actually, the only U.S. force I want in France is one to bring our honorable dead soldiers' remains off of French soil and home to honorable resting places. To leave our honored dead in French soil is repugnant! Chiraq is protecting his graft and corruption from being exposed, and he doesn't give a damn if it costs more American lives to do it. In the end, the prince of warty frogs will be exposed for the degenerate criminal he is.
