How can France complain..
« on: February 18, 2003, 06:46:23 AM »
How can France complain about undue US pressure and influence when they are doing things like this http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/europe/02/18/sprj.irq.chirac/index.html and encouraging other soveriegn nations to "shut up"?

Doesnt this make it plainly clear that the majority of France's recent behavior is really about a resentment of the USA than anything involving a possible Iraq war - maybe the war is a convenient backdrop to express their resebtment of the USA.

And they think Bush is a retard?

Quote
"It is not really responsible behavior. It is not well brought-up behavior. They missed a good opportunity to keep quiet." "I felt they acted frivolously because entry into the European Union implies a minimum of understanding for the others," Chirac said. Chirac called the letters "infantile" and "dangerous," adding: "They missed a great opportunity to shut up."



WAAAA!!! I'm going to let you into our club unless you quit speaking your mind!!

We learned from the French.

Or else, the CIA is making Chirac do this.

Yeah, that's it.

France will learn this time that you reap what you sow.

The emerging economies of those countries that were singled out by Chirac will one day eclispe France.

I am sure his words will come back to haunt the country.

I see a pattern :

if you are a US president you can screw your allied during month ifnot year

if you are a French president you can screw your allied one time and you will be insulted during month ifnot year


There is a nice expression I don't need to translate "double standard"







I didn't made that post to support Chirac as I think he need to be slamed to ack like the Rumsfield/GWB duo.

Why the hell didn't you elected Powell (*) cause this guys look to have a brain ...


(*) I know he was not candidate :)

yep and so ?

He screwed big time as I said previously but I don't see any difference between his attitude and GWB.

Same insane arrogance

btw I've just read that http://www.lemonde.fr/article/0,5987,3210--309709-,00.html

From the CNN article :

Quote
The candidates are already upset over not being invited to Brussels for Monday's emergency summit on Iraq.


Has NATO comité invited the Russian ?

They are candidate nothing less nothing more
