Nuke france.
Who needs their mustard and/or fries, anyway?

Are these the same "intelligence sources" who said they knew Iraq had weapons of mass destruction and WHERE?
France says this isn't true. I'll suspend judgment on which side is full of puke for now.

And Bush said that we don't tolerate people who aid terrorists or give refuge to them. Therefore, they are soon to be a part of the Axis of Evil.

We found weapons of french design in Baghdad hangars, yet the french continue to deny they sold the stuff. The worst part of it is that they put "Made in France" on the side of the weapons... How stupid can you be???

He's claimed that they've had it since 1990. Even the UN admits he has it, they just don't do ****** about it. During Gulf War II, he launched weapons (a scud variant) at Kuwait City that he claimed he didn't have. So now we can trust his claim that they don't have WMD after he showed us his illegal missiles?

Our government said it knew where the WMD were.
The U.S. should let the U.N. in to help search for these things, if for no other reason than people are going to suspect the U.S. planted these WMDs if they ever turn up.
Does anyone see the irony? We went to war after a big bruhaha over Saddam refused to let weapons inspectors in.
He let the inspectors in ... and we went to war anyway.
Now we aren't letting the inspectors in.

Hey Roch, you still like that "Majority Rule" BS? I think I could rally 51% of the vote to support an attack on France.
There are WMD's. Many are, more than likely, in Syria right now, buried, or in other areas of Iraq, the size of California. Today they might have found a mobile weapons lab. Any reason why traces of chemical agents found in the Tigris?

We didn't go in over the refusal to let inspectors in, we went in because of Saddam's failure to meet UN requirements. One complaint was that Saddam wasn't cooperating with the inspectors. And we claimed we knew where some facilities for producing the stuff was, not that we knew exactly where everything was. Our intelligence is good, but not quite that good.

France offers a crapload of art, food and music to our society... just because their politicians are a bunch of hypocritical pricks doesn't mean that they aren't worth a damn...
BTW, french is still the international business language.

The french have no respect for Americans, regardless what they say on TV with that, "We don't like Bush, but we love America" bull. When I went to Normandy, instead of preserving them as historic battle sites guess what the french turned it into? CONDOS! What the hell?!?! I was walking along Omaha and I was asking our guide where the seawall and all the stuff was. He told me that the french tore it down so that they could build along the coast. Talk about the lack of respect. And I think it was De Gaul who demanded that Eisenhower remove all US troops from "soverign" french soil, and Eisenhower asked him if that included the 6,000 buried at Normandy. The french piss me off. There is only one order I wish that the Germans had followed that was ordered by Hitler, and that was the one to destroy Paris. Maybe without their pathetic Eiffel tower, they wouldn't be so cocky now.

Being PRO-American isn't being arrogant. Everyone from France "I" know is very much PRO-France, but it's only arrogant when it's us? WHATEVER! Paris is the rudest place I've ever had the displeasure of visiting.
