No comment. It's too much like shooting poissons dans un baril.

OK.

I think if the French don’t believe in it, that’s the only confirmation needed to actually go and bomb Iran.

France today has suffered the greatest number of causalities in military combat since clashes in Bouake, Ivory Coast in 2004. In fierce fighting 30 miles east of Kabul, 10 French soldiers were killed and 21 wounded.

I think it would be nice if a couple of the Israeli bombs “accidently” managed to hit Paris...

We forget our allies when convenient? Good Lord.

There’s a whole lot more going on behind the curtain folks. Lighten the hell up.

He has a valid point.

He / France puts their hand to it and the muslims fry Paris and its suburbs same day.

Thus, not viable.

Because Iran will be MUCH easier to deal with once they have nukes.

Uh huh. MORONS.

It’s like the French beg us to insult them when it comes to their military and culture. If however, the Iranians are suspected of putting anti-freeze in the wine, then there will be war. After the UN sends a letter telling them how angry the French are.

As for it not being ‘viable’ seems to be the same policy of putting air conditioner in their homes so their elderly don’t die.

If Israel was going to do anything why not by now? The situation isn't getting better. Obama certainly won't do anything.

It looks like the US and Israel are getting ready to accept a Nuclear Iran.

Check out Hitler’s arrogant head tilt. Obama’s version is worthy of the original.

France will send Iran a strongly-worded letter.
