Paris - In a stunning reversal of policy, French President Jacques Chirac announced today that the French government will be supporting the War on Terror after all. Five hundred soldiers from the elite L’Abandonnement du Field d’Honneur Battalion (French Surrender Battalion) of the Legion Etrangere (Foreign Legion) are in the process of shipping out to Iraq where they will assist the elite Iraqi Republican Guards in their inevitable surrender to the overwhelming might of the American Armed Forces. “Eet ees important to be haughty and insufferable when surrendering,” said Colonel Philippe de Peepee, the Commanding Officer of the Surrender Battalion, who has personally surrendered in over 200 battles going back to Dien Bien Phu in 1954. “We French are the world masters at surrendering, n’est ce pas, not like you arrogant Americans who never surrender. Ha, I spit on your filthy American victories.”

President Chirac also announced that his government will be sending 3000 advisors from the elite Force du Collaborateur Francaise (French Collaboration Force) to assist the Iraqis in collaborating with the Americans while pretending to be part of a non-existent resistance movement.

French Military rifles for sale, Excellent Condition, Only laid down once

Pretty funny, except the inclusion of the Foreign Legion. They are actually fine soldiers with a proud history. Of course the enlisted men are 100% non-French, which explains why they are so supurior to the rest of the French military.

If the French had opposed the German move back into the Rhineland in the summer of 1936, we would not be having this conversation.

Does anyone have a link to that hilarious screenshot graphic of a failed Google search of "French military victories," suggesting instead "French military defeats"?

The french will have to hurry, or the Krauts will beat them to the punch!

BTW, Bill Krystol had a good line on Special Report last night. He said since the Democrats are now aligned with the French position on Iraq, he will henceforth refer to them as Le Parti Democratique.

France has the only military where camoflauge is only needed on the BACK of the uniform!

They must have believed the rumor we planted about there being truffles in Iraq.

Unfortunately, in these situations, the good French do get painted with the same brush. Sadly, there's too many French and Germans willing to put trade with Saddam ahead of freedom for Iraqis. Its their shame, but, hey, that's the way these folks are.

"French to join war on Iraq" Too late. So sorry. We don't want you on our side. There's going to be an opening soon for a third member of the axis of evil though if you want to call them up.

YOu know, if the Vichy....errr....French really do decide at the last minute thay wanna flip-flop and join the coalition, I hope Bush looks at them and says "we don't NEED your help." And leaves them sitting there with their thumb up their French pitard!

Avez les Francais mange les champignons malades?

I just don't understand how a nation that could produce the Foreign Leigon, as tough a military unit as you'll find ANYWHERE, can on the whole be so spineless! I feel for my fellow men in uniform in France.
