Congressmen: France and Germany 'Beneath Contempt'

Why is everyone so shocked at France and Germany’s support of maniacal dictatorships?

France fired on and killed US Soldiers en route to get Hitler!

France did all it could to stop the Reagan administration from going after Kadafi after killing hundreds of Us Citizens on TWA.

France supported the genocide in Rwanda in which over one million people were hacked to death.

Follow the Euro. They are unilaterally arming Saddam with nuclear materials with which to build WMD’s.

We have been trying to multilaterally get Saddam.

How can it be about the oil if we have been begging the rest of the world to join us?

....."and later of the anti-Communist student movement"
but became a democrat anyway.

I am pleasantly surprised by the number of Congressmen who are making these kinds of statements. It can only help Bush and Powell as they try to hammer this thing through the UN to have France and Germany hear noises coming from both sides of the aisle in Congress about tariffs, trade restrictions, "beneath contempt," "second-rate country" and so on. This lets them know that what they are doing is widely seen here as both serious and hostile; and that it will have long-term repercussions.

I think Chirac knows this and doesn't care... seeing a better deal for himself at the end as the head of some pan-European alliance. But I get the sense that what's happening in Germany is Amateur Night at the Foreign Ministry, and that those guys are like kids playing with matches.

Still wouldn't vote for him, though...

"...Lantos said he was particularly disgusted by the blind intransigence and utter ingratitude" of Paris, Berlin and Brussels. "If it were not for the heroic efforts of America's military, France, Germany and Belgium today would be Soviet socialist republics," Lantos noted. "The failure of these three states to honor their commitments is beneath contempt...."

"...What do these stupid ingrates think?" demanded the repected Liberal Congressman from California, "That we saved them from tyranny so they could conduct their own affairs as they see fit?"

The Congressman delivered his jerehmiad before a rapt gathering of Golden State third graders attending a workshop called: "How to Put the History of the World on the Bumper-Sticker of A Car".

The workshop is the brainchild of a group of Public School Teachers who want to inspire American students with an appreciation for history, but, at the same time don't want to tax them with a lot of details.

"We have a lot of hope invested in this 'history on a bumper sticker' idea. This visit by Representative Lantos to demonstrate to the chldren how fun bumper-sticker history can really be, certainly gives a great boost to the program," remarked Kay Mfunitob, an official of the National Education Association and founder of Afroshoe, a company that prints African history on basketaball shoes....

You bad, they don't like it, implying his allegiances are with Israel!!!!

Maybe the time he spent in the Hungarian undergound fighting the Nazis taught him to love America first.

Shocking that RATS can't undertsand patriotism and putting America FIRST.

[longtermmemmory]

check post 11 please

[syriacus]

Lantos said this? is this a joke?

It's hard to believe, all right.

[LaBelleDameSansMerci]

OK, OK, let's get down to it.

Let's pretend that the history of American military action and aid has been one of pure sacrifice with no taint of self-interest. Let's pretend that we "saved" Europe from themselves, and from all Evil for no other reason than because we are so Good.

OK. How long do they have to kiss our patootie in gratitude? How long? Forever? For two-hundered years? One-hundred years?

And if they have to kiss our patootie forever, isn't it incumbant upon us to inform future and present recipients of our unselfish aid that they will be expected to kiss our patootie forever if they are saved, liberated and protected by us?

Countries might want to be forwarned about this. Africa might want to look twice at our AIDS contributions. Israel might get worried, should we start demanding that they put our interests before their selfish, parochial interests.

You know, just in the interest of fair play and full disclosure.....

[Desdemona]

How long do they have to kiss our patootie in gratitude? How long? Forever? For two-hundered years? One-hundred years?

They could at least say Thank You and help us out the one time we've asked for it.

[SerpentDove]

Wow! I never thought I'd see it. Blue monkeys are flying out of my butt.

[Mamzelle]

re:OK. How long do they have to kiss our patootie in gratitude?)))

Five minutes would be nice. Don't forget, they wanted us to bomb the native Serbs out of Europe, and we obliged. And we still have troops there doing NATO's bidding.

[and the horse you rode in on]

It's more than agrandisement for them. If we Get possession of all the papers on where Saddam has gotten the equipment to restart his WMD programs these clowns could find themselves indicted for War Crimes in The Hague, just like the other Euro-Trash

[Skwidd]

"The Beautiful Woman Without Thanks"? Well, the 'without thanks' part is accurate enough for the stinking frogs...

[scooby321]

Lantos was the Bush Ambasstor to the Race and Anti Semite UN conference -

[dennisw]

Lantos said this?

is this a joke?

Of course he said it. Lantos has seen a lot of horror in his lifetime and is one tough SOB. Usually on the wrong side but not this time!

[LaBelleDameSansMerci]

You know with all these Liberals like Lantos and Lefties like Hitchens and Trotkyites like the whole neo-con movement jumping on the bandwagon, there isn't going to be much room for us conservatives anymore.

"Hijacked on the Road to Bagdad--How the Conservative Movement Turned Into a Leftist Avalanche."

LOL!!!

[Happy2BMe]

"Sen. Joseph Biden of Delaware, the top Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said that if the United States is forced to bypass the alliance, "NATO will quickly atrophy."

This came out of a Dimrat's mouth!?

If so, it's the most honorable utterance from that group of morons in memory.
