France won't back U.S. attack on Iraq

The French ambassador to the United States says Europe will not support any U.S. military action against Iraq without clear evidence that a military response is warranted.

"We would not pledge support. They (the United States) would be on their own," Ambassador Francois Bujon said at a Tuesday evening forum sponsored by Johns Hopkins University's Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies.

Now there's a news flash...

[The Great Satan]

Big deal. F*** 'em.

[patriciaruth]

Vichy strikes again.

Who decided this? The pairs skating judge?

France won't back U.S. attack on Iraq, Americans are emotionally devastated </sarcasm>

"We would not pledge support. They (the United States) would be on their own,"

So what is new here? So who cares?

[JohnHuang2]

Like we give a crap. The French socialists can go right straight to...

[sheik yerbouty]

Hopefully, the French will side with Iraq.

[Jean S]

Oh no! We can't possibly do anything more without their approval. Stop the war right now.

I'm shocked the surrender monkeys took this position....bent over, presenting their asses to the boy loving muslim "heros".
My contempt for the weak willed Europeans, deepens.

The French -- "euro-weaklings" par excellence.

[wretchard]

The less attention we pay to France the better. They are a waste of time.

Leave the French people be. You can't expect them to change over-nightcentury. I don't even bother worrying about what they say. When I found out that it was Napolean's sissy-boy knicker's look that started the French fashion industry, I decided they were not worth my time.

[BigFLPanhandleDude]

Oh, to listen to such dribble from the Frogs...Disgusting parasites that they are. Why we leave the remains of thousands of honorable servicemen interred in French soil is beyond me.

[patriciaruth]

Yes, they gave the world the guillotine, and Napolian, and the Vichy government, and the Maginot line, but OTOH, I loved fois gras and mushrooms with noodles by a fireplace in a great Bourdeaux restaurant, and poached calf brains in a bistro in Paris.

What can I say? I'm a sucker for their food and their art and their language. So, we suffer the fools for the few things they got right.

[mamelukesabre]

How many times in the last 50 years has France been 100% in support of America's military actions? Seriously. I think we should not care in the least what France thinks about anything. They have proven themselves to be a major nuisance.

"Iraq can be dealt with more effectively though diplomatic and economic approaches"
Yes, this approach has worked so well in stopping any WMD proliferation with Iraq.

We're trying to see it your way, Frogs, but we can't seem to get our heads quite that far up our a$$es. Now go take a shower (with soap), and wait for the nice Muslims to show up in your country. Maybe you can just give your country to them - like back in WWII when those nice Germans came to Paris. What did you do then? Oh yeah, you showed them where to park their Panzers and gave them your wives. Good tacticians.
