Meanwhile, U.S. officials told CNN that surrender negotiations have secretly begun with key Iraqi military officials.

One senior official said that some parts of the Iraqi military already may have agreed not to fight.

Yay! Another national character assasination! It's a good job you're not from a nation that bent over and took it in the bellybutton from the Nazis, selling them excellent grade steel to build machines to kill allied soldiers, in order to preserve a much vaunted neutrality, so that years later the inhabitants of that very same country could feel a smug sense of superiority over another nation by lecturing them about collaboration and surrender.

That would be awful, wouldn't it?

I'm perfectly chilled out, believe you me.

Hortlund - answer me this. You're clearly a clever guy and very intelligent - why do you have to resort to this nonsensical national character assasination? Because its easy? I certainly found it very easy, in that last post.

Every nation has skeletons in its closet, that's how history works, surely you realise that?

A joke is a joke is a joke. But it's more than that to some of the posters around here, and you've become one of them.

The French are just people, no more idiosyncratic in their ways than the English, Germans, Americans or Swedes. So let's drop the roadkill once and for all. It's boring, repetitative and stupid.

Sorry Dewdling, but national character assassination is a healthy form of venting. Proceed.

Dowding,

I used to find the whole French bashing stuff mildly offensive, but it got so ridiculous now that the joke is on them!

C'mon Hortlund, you can do better than a mere, rehashed surrender joke!

Bash away, you'll look more intelligent with every racist slur...

Go ahead, make my day!

"french" is not a race.

when attempting to demigrade others intelligence, its best not to say stupid things.

...and its not funny to you because you are french.

Officials have been making that view somewhat public as part of an effort to publicize what they say is Saddam's vulnerability.

The officials said they could not give specifics ...

Oh yeah. Solid reporting there. The thread could only get more surreal if gullible old Hortlund's day job was being a judge or something...

Dowding old chap, I take issue with some points of your post.

Is there is yet any real evidence of cleverness or intelligence in this virtual 'stampede' to stamp on the French with remarkable vigour?

Ok maybe only one point. All the rest is spot on.
