How can France complain..
« Reply #30 on: February 18, 2003, 03:08:36 PM »
I believe the main reason is that Germany does not have veto power in the Security Council and France does.

I think yet another "dollar deal" will be cut with the Russians and the Chinese will get Taiwan in 5-10 years for abstaining.

But the French....... my guess is a two-fold problem there. 1) Nobody is going to give them the '91 guarantee that they get to keep their oil business in Iraq after this one. 2) I suspect there's quite a lot of "Fabrique en France" stuff about that they really don't want to see on global TV after it's over and the secret doors are opened.

Just a guess; intuition.

About the Russians and Chinese?

About the French and oil?

Or about the French being embarassed by what's found in Iraq?

What will I do about which?

Chiraq has done more to divide Europe in the past month than Hitler did in 12 years.

The gall of the man is absolutely unbelievable. I'm reading the transcripts from that interview over and over and it's un-f*cking believable.

I mean look at this toejam:
He said Romania and Bulgaria - currently due to join the EU in 2007 - could not have chosen a better way to spoil their chances of joining the club.

This is what you would expect from a schoolyard bulley. I would be furious if I was Romanian or Bulgarian for example. I mean who the f*ck does he think he is dictating the foreign policy for all those nations? Who the f*ck does he think he is making threats in the name of the EU?

Why, I guess I'd have to apologize for thinking such a thing about such a fine, reliable, genuine ally.

3 points  in KISS format ,trade, trade ,and trade, IRAQ has been under a UN boycott  could Frances reason for no war be that the UN and US might find that they have been supllying Iraq with technoligies and equipment   just a thougt to ponder  the same for Germany and Russia

StSanta why should we get ride of Chirac if the USA can keep Bush ?

tss tss ...

Either we keep both idiot or none
No double standard please.

He pissed me too btw



Mr. Bush is protecting my interests. I dont trust Democrats to show the RESOLVE of the RED WHITE AND BLUE.

Chirac is much more of a little whiny arse pansy than my Prez.
Keep him, he reflects your nation. I will vote for GWB next go round, if hes willing to run. I think he reflects my nation.

Comparing Bush to Hitler is, quite rightly, infantile nonsense.

Comparing Chiraq to Hitler is justified and rational, and not the least bit hysterical.

What I meant was that Chirac has done enormous damage to the EU in the past month. Apparently you missed that.

So you accidently slipped the Hitler reference in there?

I understand. It's easily done. I often find myself slipping in references to fascist dictators during everyday conversation.
