"George W. Bush is the worst liar in the world..."???

Uh, isn't that a good thing? Especially following eight years of "an unusually good liar" as Senator Bob Kerrey referred to him?

"him" of course being our 42nd President, William Jefferson Clinton.

Duh...now that I read the entire post, nevermind what I said.

Me dumb.

Gotta love the Protest Warriors.

Frankly, I'm horrified at your calling the French our "enemy."

Yeesh.

I can't tell - are you kidding?

I wouldn;t go as far to call France our enemy, definetly not our friend though. Dirty Traitors yes, but enemy, thats kind of harsh.

Man, you guys are humor-impaired.

De l'audace!, encore de l'audace!, toujours de l'audace! :o)

Notorious backstabbers are usually considered enemies.

I love the whole Protest Warrior concept.

They're a clever, gutsy group of young people doing the last thing that we had come to expect of young people...caring enough to stand up for something, and having a clue about what that is.

you hear that one about the french giving us 31 million flu vaccines, and then not even getting a thank you? that's a funny one...

how's this....instead of freedom fries, maybe we should call em' thanks-for-coming-to-our-rescue-after-we-flipped-you-the-bird fries. probably not catchy though...

In honor of the "kerry view" of the world's "moral power centers", a partial list of "achievements" of Eurocentric power. Vive' le side switching, surrender monkeys. For your edification and amusement:

French Military History

The Complete Military History of France.

Gallic Wars -- Lost -- In a war whose ending foreshadows the next 2000 years of French history, France is conquered by of all things, an Italian.

Hundred Years War -- Mostly lost, saved at last by female schizophrenic who inadvertently creates The First Rule of French Warfare: “France’s armies are victorious only when not led by a Frenchman.

Italian Wars – Lost -- France becomes the first and only country to ever lose two wars when fighting Italians.

Wars of Religion -- France goes 0-5-4 against the Huguenots.

Thirty Years War -- France is technically not a participant, but manages to get invaded anyway. Claims a tie on the basis that eventually the other participants started ignoring her.

War of Devolution -- Tied. Frenchmen take to wearing red flowerpots as chapeaux.

The Dutch War – Tied

War of the Augsburg League/King William’s War/French and Indian War -- Lost, but claimed as a tie. Three ties in a row induce deluded Frogophiles the world over to label the period as the height of French military power.

War of the Spanish Succession – Lost. The War also gave the French their first taste of a Marlborough, which they have loved ever since.

American Revolution – In a move that will become quite familiar to future Americans, France claims a win even though the English colonists saw far more action. This is later known as “de Gaulle Syndrome,” and leads to the Second Rule of French Warfare; “France only wins when America does most of the fighting.”

French Revolution – Won, primarily due to the fact that the opponent was also French.

The Napoleonic Wars – Lost. Temporary victories (remember the First Rule!) due to leadership of a Corsican, who ended up being no match for a British footwear designer.

The Franco-Prussian War – Lost. Germany first plays the role of drunken Frat boy to France’s ugly girl home alone on a Saturday night.

World War I – Tied and on the way to losing. France is saved by the United States. Thousands of French women find out what it’s like to not only sleep with a winner, but one who doesn’t call her “Fraulein.” Sadly, widespread use of condoms by American forces forestalls any improvement in the French bloodline.

World War II – Lost. Conquered French liberated by the United States and Britain just as they finish learning the Horst Wessel Song.

War in Indochina – Lost. French forces plead sickness; take to bed with the Dien Bien Flu.

Algerian Rebellion – Lost. Loss marked the first defeat of a western army by a Non-Turkic Muslim force since the Crusades, and produces the First Rule of Muslim Warfare: “We can always beat the French.” This rule is identical to the First Rules of the Italians, Russians, Germans, English, Dutch, Spanish, Vietnamese and Eskimos.

War on Terrorism – France, keeping in mind its recent history, surrenders to Germany and Muslims just to be safe. Attempts to surrender to Vietnamese ambassador fail after he takes refuge in a McDonalds.

The question for any country silly enough to count on the French should not be “Can we count on the French?” but rather “How long until France collapses.

“Going to war without France is like going deer hunting without an accordion. All you do is leave behind a lot of noisy baggage.”

Now, if'n you'll excuse me, I think I'll go make me a cheese sandwich slathered with duck fat, and a side order of snails

@cubsfan7 - France will never miss an opportunity to feed at the American trough. Ever.

'Coming to our rescue'?

Coming to our rescue?

Oh, yeah, a shipment of flu vaccine is 'coming to our rescue'; they've save the Republic! Let every voice lift high La Marseillaise!

Especially 'after we flipped you the bird'. How could we have been so inconsiderate, so gauche? Nevermind the diplomatic, economic and intelligence efforts against us, when we were going to remove an evil dictator. Couldn't possibly have had anything to do with you being in bed with vile murderers, then using a world body ostensibly formed to promote improvement in the world, to oppose the efforts of freedom and human rights.

No, nothing to do with that at all.

Quick history lesson, cubsfan7: 10,000 dead and wounded on the beaches of France is 'coming to your rescue'. 31 million flu vaccines, while appreciated, isn't.

I only hope there are more Frenchmen in this resistance than there was in the actual Resistance. Despite every Frenchman of a certain age claiming to having been in the Resistance it was actually quite small. There were significantly more Frenchmen in the Charlemagne Brigade.

France boo!
