France Calls Emergency U.N. Meeting on Iraq's Peaceful Disarmament, Ignoring U.S. Deadline

They're just like little children who put their hands over their ears and say "la, la, la..." so they can't hear what you're saying.

I was just thinking that I'd like to have a link to that punk from "The Simpsons" who's always singing "Ha, ha!" I'd like to play it every time I hear Blix or any French guy speak.

The French have decide to poke their finger in our eye. They'll find out the moment the Texas Hombre calls their bluff tomorrow that they can take their childish temper tantrum and shove it.

"U.N. chief weapons inspector Hans Blix was also ignoring the threat of a possibly imminent war for the moment and preparing to give the Security Council a 30-page report Monday listing about a dozen key remaining disarmament tasks that Iraq should complete in the coming months.

Speaking on CNN's "Late Edition," Powell said the remaining tasks Blix planned to identify were issues the "Iraqis could have resolved any time over the past five, 10, 12 years, and they have not. That's the problem."

'BBBBBBBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMM!!!"

After listening to the news conference in the Azores, Blix described the situation as "very threatening," but he made no plans to evacuate his weapons inspectors in Baghdad, saying he was watching the situation "hour by hour."

Blix is as smart as a Brick!______________________________________________________________________

France won't call the meeting on Monday because then we would be getting our way. EVERYTHING we do they have to spite us. The more time we give, the more time they take.

[goldstategop]

Yup... the Frogs hope we will waver and give in.

[CyberAnt]

This is just amazing!

I watched Cheney get interviewed on MTP - he gave a rundown of all the times France has stopped the UN from taking action against Iraq. So, this is nothing new - just part of the pattern France has been doing all these years.

If they ignore the USA and UK tomorrow, war will probably begin on Wed. - and I hope we give them a letter suspending our membership just prior to that - along with a DEMAND for our money!

[goldstategop]

Amen brother. If they love the UN so much let them PAY for it from now on!!!

[Justice]

Tous les frenchys sont les ânes du cheval!

[Timesink]

Yup... the Frogs hope we will waver and give in.

Rather like Democrats. Not only do they never figure out why they lost, they don't even realize the game ended six months ago and the stadium is empty.

[rwfromkansas]

Hopefully Bush will see this as an ultimate slap and not even give an inch....

[Nitro]

Do you know my sister?

She always did that and then I would give a her a knuckle in that part of the arm just below the shoulder that makes the arm numb and unable to keep up.

Then I told her what was what!!

She was older than me and it was always self-defense!

I could tell you stories!!!

[geopyg]

Hey - we should do this thing called "deadline" too!

France was a country located in central Euroupe who's territory was peacefully divided between England and Spain in the Spring of 2003...

[MississippiMan]

One more deliberate spit in our face by France. Grateful bunch, those frogs.
