shocking propaganda against France

Fédéraliste

[desertcry]

"iraq has not yet attack anyone". Is this idiot less than 12 years old? More than a decade ago, not only did iraq attack Iran, but also Kuwait, and the Kurds. This rant is pure french BS. Everything said in FR about the frogs are right on target.

This a-hole doesn't have a clue. That's why he and most french suck.

It would take some culinary magic to make a crow palatable. Funny thing is, that's about the situation with French cooking in general. You hear all this noise like it's only the French who know how to cook, but the truth is they don't have the land area to have herds of beef cattle that we do. Their idea of "beef" is some poor old cow which can't give milk anymore after 20 years, i.e. something we'd either bury or make glue out of, and they have to have fancy recipes or the dogs wouldn't eat it.

The basic reality is that I could walk into a McDonalds outlet ten minutes from now and eat a better meal than anybody in France will eat today for under five dollars.

....when you are overrun by the islamists... Too late, they have already surrendered months back.

Nicely done, Ivan!

Zut, alors.

It attacked Iran with basically our blessing and indirect aid. It attacked Kurds within it's own borders. It attacked Kuwait and was driven out after Bush I brokered a deal among a large coalition that authorized only the expelling of Iraq from Kuwait and nothing else. The reason for war is not that he has attacked anyone but that he might- and that- is a revolutionary and unprecedented doctrine. That coupled with the Bush administration announcement that the United States reserves the right to attack anyone we deem to be a threat (another eyebrow raising and curious foreign policy announcement) could possibly be the reason that Europe ain't jumping up and down with joy over the prospect of going to war with Iraq.

Not saying I love French food. But I did try snail (I have a policy of trying every food at least once) and I liked it very much.

Their idea of beef is "Trigger."

As for cooking, they are well behind the Italians.

The United States should attack Paris first. What are the French going to do? Fight back?

[desertcry]

Are you saying it's very dangerous to be a friend of france?
I think you'r absolutely right! Beware krauts, your turn has come. If you think WWI, and WWII was bad, asks the Brits whats in store for you.

[piasa]

Good job, I see the Frenchman had not the courage to remain on the field.

My response was such that it locked up my computer and I had to shut her down, which means my little literary molotov cocktail was lost before it was ever cast.

*sniff* Oh well, the tagline does describe Pierre tot he hilt.

That's just what I was thinking!

But you forgot the "improving the creation under the look of the Creator" part.

We're attempting to do that, too, ya know. Getting rid of those like Saddam will help improve the creation (Earth). :)

[desertcry]

9.11.01 and the rise of terrorism have change the rules of the game. Are you saying that we should trust saddam not to sell, give , or give access to bin laden and his gang iraq's MWD. And we should wait for the smoking chemical, and bio weapons to explode in our face because we want the french's, and german's approval before we take saddam out?
I hope that's not what you mean.

[Burkeman1]

9/11? We were attacked with box cutters not WMD. How does that anything to do with Iraq at all? 19 men got into this country and highjacked four planes with box cutters. No chemicals, No bio weapons, no nukes. And besides Sadaam there are a dozen other countries with crazy dictators that WMD programs that don't like us. We lived with it before 9/11- hell we lived with it for 50 years. I don't think you appreciate what a revolutionary foreign policy doctrine Bush is extolling. Why anyone would expect the rest of the world- even our allies- to accept a foreign policy that reserves the right to premptively attack percieved threats to us is beyond me. What Bush wants- an unprovoked attack against Iraq (quibble all you want- that is what it will be) is revolutionary in world diplomatic history. To expect the rest of the world to passively accept that and be happy with it is not realistic.

Could the Iraqi's give WMD to AQ and could it be used here and kill thousands? Yes. Just as easily a rouge Russian mercenary nuclear scientist could be working right now in a cave somewhere building a suitcase nuke for AQ as well. Is invading Iraq going to make us more or less likely to be the target of terrorist attack in the future? Many things could happen. It still doesn't mean it is going to. Bush's foreign policy is very radical and a break from hundreds of years of tradition and diplomatic history. It is radical and radical change brings about a million unforseen consequences.

So tell me, Pierre---were you referred to this site by a college student from Germany, by any chance?

And when can we expect your friends?

And the rest of the world fears you but it doesn't love you..."'tis better that the Prince be feared than loved" - Machiavelli (and lest you think this is just bitter and outmoded rhetoric from some cynical opportunist who left the earth five hundred years ago, read Michael Ledeen's Machiavelli on Modern Leadership:Why Machiavelli's Iron Rules Are as Timely and Important Today as Five Centuries Ago - maybe you'll understand mieux les americains)...

Illogic is your forte.

The age of innocence is over. A one-world force is necessary, which will be dominated by us or them. Which would you prefer?
