Disgusted by the French? Too often.

Surpised by them? Never.

The only U-turn I want to see of France is the turn that takes them back to France. Thanks but no Thanks.:fire:

France's change of heart is like asking to send in the third team in the fourth quarter of the football game when the opposition is down by 63 points. It may be satisfying to the third team, but by then the spectators have all gone home.

Did anyone see Lawrence Eagleburger last night? he referred to France as a"Pipsqueak" nation. Well said, Mr. eagleburger!

May Chirac and hid countrymen be "diddled by the dangling dong of destiny."

No, I see it as more of a CYA thing. When the US wins this war, the French will be able to say they supported their long time ally. :rolleyes:

Chirac wants France to be able to play a part in rebuilding Iraq when it's over -- pure economics and self-interest. It has nothing to do with doing the right thing.

Check out the weather reports for this area. The wind rarely drops below seven to ten miles per hour. The French will help if chemical weapons are used, but the weather is not ideal for the use of these weapons.

"Going to war without the French is like going to war without an accordian."

Or, to paraphrase an old saying, "A war without the French is like a fish without a bicycle."
