I agree with what you're saying, it's just that France was the most vocal about swaying world opinion on what had to be done!


Bring our boys home from Germany after this little ditty, or move the bases to a nation that actually wants them for something other than a payday.

France was actively lobbying countries not to assist us. They specifically promised Turkey early entry to the EU if they denied us access to their bases. I don't think Germany did that.

I SUSPECT(no facts) that France, like Turkey, has not honored the trade sanctions on Iraq imposed by the UN. They have, I believe, enjoyed sort of a favored nation status with Iraq regarding oil. Just a suspicion. But they have sure been looking out for Saddam lately.

I was talking to a guy tonite who just got back from France. He says he was treated fine and that a lot of French do not agree with Jacques Shirac (sp?).

I dont think he meant treated well by the waiters. They dont treat anybody well.

Yeah, I'm sure they're getting VERY uncomfortable right about now. They're about to loose everything they had going in Iraq which was quite a bit... It's a humbling experience for them I'm sure. It's unfortunate that the average "French" Joe is going to pay such a high cost for their countries arrogance.

Not to pick on French waiters, but they are probably the rudest in the world, and they are that way to French people as well!

Schroeder is a dumb ass and he probably will be out on his ear after the stomping in the desert!
