Yay for the Brits! (Suck it, France!)
I assume you've all heard of the letter from the 8 European countries (UK, Spain, Italy, etc.) backing Bush's stance on Iraq? Seems France & Germany don't have quite the control over the EU that they wish they had.

Last time around they got seven years. There's no reason to expect them to be massively more success this time around. Inspections can only work with active Iraqi cooperation, the inspectors where never suppose to have to look for anything, Iraq would present everything it had ready to blow and it would then be destroyed while the inspectors watched. That's why it never worked, none of that happened. The inspector had to find stuff on their own, and then they had to blow it them selves.Alyrium Denryle wrote:France and germany only want more time for the UN inspectors to do their jobs.

Not surpassingly, a 100 or so people can't find much in a large countries that’s actively hiding the stuff. Iraq was given a second chance to actively cooperate. They haven't.
What France and Germany want is to delay everything until the summer heat makes a ground war impossible. Then France will have a chance collecting on 20 billion worth of Iraqi oil contracts in the future and Germany won't have to own up to selling Iraq its chemical weapons infrastructure again.

I am so sick and freaking tired of those anti-Semitic, effeminate, cowardly French bastards screwing with the minds of everyone on the planet. Paris: the city of whores. France: looser of wars… they start them than leave! Why do we care about what they say? France has never been an asset, they are a liability and should be cut off from us altogether! We need to bomb them, kill all the froggie bastards and re-colonize the land with normal people!

Last time I saw a statistic, ELEVEN PERCENT of France's oil was refined from illegal Iraqi crude. This war isn't just about oil, but France's attempt to keep the US and the West out of it is.

We signed it (and wrote part of the text), and I'm glad.
Historically, our only allies are the English and the U.S. Nowadays, in case of trouble (say, a big bomb in the middle of Lisbon, compliments of the arabian terrorist league), the major military assistance would depend on both.
I'm all for a federal Europe, but not on the expense of betraying those who actually have helped us.

All those countries signed that piece of paper just out of calculation, not out of the depth of their deeply-felt friendship with the USA.GrandAdmiralPrawn wrote:I assume you've all heard of the letter from the 8 European countries (UK, Spain, Italy, etc.) backing Bush's stance on Iraq?

As for Germany: It's Schröder's only choice to be against the war, otherwise his coalition would go down in flaming ruins. And a German participation in a war, especially without a new UN resolution, could very well violate our constitution.

More intresting is the fact that France six months ago was falling overthemselves to jump onboard, Now they switched positions, Much like they did during the FIRST Gulf War where they venetmely opposed ANY action until American and British Troops started womping down Saddam's Troops then they where all on board
The France of Modern day, Or at the very least, the Adminstration of Modern Day France is repeating the errors of the past....
Did they not learn their lesson with Hitler?

Do NOT discuss the inhabitants of a nation by way of the politics or stereotypes of that nation. Lest I suggest you are, by virtue of your political leader's example, a dim-witted asshole desperately seeking the legacy of his daddy, and lost in a trench of Biblical idiocy.
Note: I'm semi-retired from the board, so if you need something, please be patient.
The French have quietly asked if the US will intend to honor the contracts they have with Iraq if they invade and take it over. Now I ask you where are those high moral ideals that the French aspire to? Give peace a chance? My ass....there's a reason why they're known as the whores of Europe.

And there's a reason Americans are known as uneducated arrogant rednecks, Canadians are known as plaid-wearing lumberjacks, and the Japanese are known as honourable industrialists.

Sorry, but I get riled up when I see rampant bashing of a nation based on stereotypes or the antics of that nation's government.

All these sniveling pansies can do is yell insults from afar and hope they can scurry off before they are discovered. Iraq is a mere side issue. Even North Korea has a few positive things to add to the world arena. France on the other hand, is a fungus. A pestalence on humanity that must be lanced like a wart off a dogs ass. All the world should unite against the one true EVIL that is amoung us. Besides perfecting fine cuisine to better dine their whores, what have they done for the good of humanity? Nothing.

France's GOVERNMENT might be annoying, but I'll wager that the average French guy is no more annoying than the average New Yorker. The whole "getting in bed with Iraq" thing makes me wanna wish death to the government of France, but other than that, Frenchy-bashing isn't called for. The French GOVERNMENT are Frogs of the worst order, but not the people.
