"You know, the French remind me a little bit of an aging actress of the 1940s who was still trying to dine out on her looks but doesn't have the face for it." ---John McCain, U.S. Senator from Arizona "You know why the French don't want to bomb Saddam Hussein? Because he hates America, he loves mistresses and wears a beret. He is French, people." --Conan O'Brien "I don't know why people are surprised that France won't help us get Saddam out of Iraq. After all, France wouldn't help us get the Germans out of France!" ---Jay Leno "The last time the French asked for 'more proof' it came marching into Paris under a German flag." --David Letterman REPLACEMENTS FOR THE FRENCH NATIONAL ANTHEM: "Runaway" by Del Shannon, "Walk Right In" by the Rooftop Singers, "Everybody's Somebody's" Fool by Connie Francis, "Running Scared" by Roy Orbison, "I Really Don't Want to Know" by Tommy Edwards, "Surrender" by Elvis Presley, "Save It For Me" by The Four Seasons, "Live and Let Die" by Wings, "I'm Leaving It All Up To You" by Donny and Marie Osmond, "What a Fool Believes" by the Doobie Brothers, "Don't Worry, Be Happy" by Bobby McFerrin "Raise Your Hands" by Jon Bon Jovi How many Frenchmen does it take to change a light bulb? One. He holds the bulb and all of Europe revolves around him.
The French.... want nothing more than this oil-thirsty addministration wants.... And they're both so transparent.....
No, you just burn the gas and electricity without considering how it gets to you. The stuff is not manna from heaven, my man.
Re: nor is it worth going to war.... Actually, it is. But, that's not the reason for the impending military action. Suppose Bush, et al agree to do it France's, Canada's Germany's etc. way. Keep extending the deadlines to comply with U.N. resolution 1441 ad nauseam. Saddam will continue to appease the inspectors and the peace mongers by doing just enough to keep Bush at bay. While he's destroying 2 or 3 missles a week, he's either importing or manufacturing another 5 or 6 a week. He'll 'fess up to minimal stores of chemical and biological weapons while stockpiling 10 fold in undisclosed locations. Meanwhile, all you left wing tree hugging, ignorant fraidy cats are smiling smugly and exclaiming "See. The inspections are working". In the background, behind closed doors, in bunkers and tunnels, Saddam is secretly negotiating with Al Queda et. al. to supply them with the means to strike out at America and Americans. And then (with apologies to Emeril) BAM!!! Thousands of Americans are wiped out in a homicidal attack by muslim fanatics, somewhere within our borders. All with the assistance and endorsement of Hussein and his band of murderous merry men. Think it can't happen? Think again. It already has. Fortunately for us (including you, Biggles), Bush will protect us, as he was sworn to do.
Re: The French.... Biggles lets use our heads here. The cost of war will outweigh the benefits we get from any Iraqi oil. This war is a bad idea for a lot of reasons. The first being that the Koreans are much much much much bigger threat, but I guess that's another issue.
funniest post of the year.... w has done nothing during his administration except line the pockets of his friends, family and his supporters with cash. He could have defined an era after 9/11 instead he leaves the US in a mess for the next president in 2004 to clean up.... McCain, Kerry, anyone, anyone........ supa you are correct, American security be damned, it's all about the oil.......
Re: funniest post of the year.... So many accusations. So little proof. I wish, just once, you could come up with something, anything, to substantiate those slanderous claims. Alas, you cannot. Because they are total unadulterated bull$hit. Supa, you show promise but you still don't understand a lot about what made this country what is is. I consider you a work in progress so I'm hopeful you will eventually see the (right) light.
