1 in 3 French want Iraq to win

[NightTrain]

"Eleven thousand Allied soldiers lie buried in well-tended peace at Etaples, on the Channel coast near Le Touquet, victims of the struggle by Anglo-Saxons to liberate the French from the German invaders during the First World War."

Last week the obelisk raised in their memory was defiled by red-painted insults such as ?Rosbeefs go home?; ?May Saddam prevail and spill your blood?; and, in a reference to the long-dead casualties beneath the manicured turf, ?They are soiling our land?.

Actually I agree with the last line but for different reasons. We should go dig them up and bring them home. Screw the French.

You just gotta love those wacky French. They are such the pranksters. The next thing you know they'll be wanting the Statue of Liberty back. Yuk, yuk! They really know how to get a belly laugh out of you.

So what, 2 out of 3 French wish they were English.

 

[Chadder007]

All the more reason to boycott their silly arse.

I cannot accurately express my contempt and disgust for the French people at this time.:disgust: :|

Barney, if it is that simple can you find a reference to a station that has had it's license yanked by the FCC for anti-government broadcasting.

I'm getting rather tired of the mindless rhetoric being spewed here. Please be prepared to back up your wild and reckless statements.

About the only positive thing I have to say about the French is that we can count on the French to be there when they need us.

There is no way any nation could completely defeat our armed forces. Just be glad we are the good guys and be carefull what you wish for. Once we are gone you have NO HOPE for peace again from mortal beings.

What it boils down to is: The USA is powerful and it scares them. It's natural for people to be afraid of nations who are much more powerful than they are, especially when that powerful nation is angry.

Do me a favor. Go visit any European nation for a month, watch their newscast, and then compare. Newscasts in this country tend to leave out a lot of things.

L'amérique est un pays merveilleux. Le monde entier doit une grande dette à l'Amérique. Mais la dette devrait être payée dans la bienveillance PAS consentement pour les fantaisies. Contraire à la croyance populaire. . . Iraq n'a pas assez de pétrole pour acheter les Français (nous aimons nucléaire). Comme la plupart des alliés de l'Amérique nous sommes en désaccord. C'est un désaccord honnête. Chaque pays décent raillerait pour l'Amérique. . . Pour une cause juste. Il prend de vrais amis pour vous dire quand vous avez tort.

I think what you are trying to say is: The news in the US isn't saying the things you want to hear, so you'd rather go somewhere that you can hear what you want to hear.

Well, it's a free country. Go listen to whatever news feeds you like. I do.

Let's see how close Babelfish gets:

America is a marvellous country. The whole world owes a great debt in America. But the debt should be paid in the benevolence NOT assent for imaginations. Opposite with the popular belief. . Iraq does not have enough oil to buy the French (we like nuclear). As the majority of combined of America we are in disagreement. It is an honest dissension. Each decent country would scoff for America. . For a cause right. It takes friendly truths to say to you when you are wrong.

According to Free Translator

America is a wonderful country. The entire world has a big debt to America. But the debt should be paid in the benevolence NOT consent for the fantasies. In contrast to popular belief. . . Iraq has not enough oil to buy the French (we like nuclear). As most of the allies of America let us are at odds for us. This is an honest disagreement. Decent each country raillerait for America. . . For a just cause. It takes true friends to say you when you are wrong.

With friends like France, who needs enemies.

This SCUD is dangerous. Some of the missiles fired by Iraq certainly exceed the limit set by the UN . . . but who cares? UN restrictions made it possible for the US to stage its attack from Kuwait . . . so apparently they've been an unqualified success.

Exactly, people can have absolute proof he hid and used banned weapons and are still convinced he was somehow fully complying as required. Thanks for pointing out the obvious lack of ground for that arguement anymore. He still has UN banned weapons and is willing to launch them on his neighbors, see Kuwait City.

UN restrictions did not make anything possible for the US in Kuwait, the fact we liberated them is why we are staging from there. Unlike the French, they are willing to pay back for their US fought for freedom. Saddam has launched @ 50 BANNED missilles, one has hit, the rest have failed with the majority being struck down by the new patriot systems. Kuwait has these themselves BTW...

You forget, we knew he had them, we knew he would launch them, and we still put people within range, maybe that was an avoidable risk, what neighboring border would you have suggested he couldnt have reached? lol
