Add to this the recent bizarre phrase from French Prime Minister Jean-Pierre Raffarin. The head of the Figaro press group went to see him about the kidnapping of two French journalists in Iraq; Raffarin assured him they would soon be freed, reportedly saying, "The Iraqi insurgents are our best allies.""

Charles Lindburg was a good friend of A. Hitler. He was really bad-mouthed by the press for his Natzi connections in the year or so before WWII. But he had a reason for liking Hitler and it had nothing to do with that h**o word. If you know the story, think about this with respect to what you said. (I'm trying not to say what I want to say because I don't want you-know-who to hear it. Kids don't always understand)

Someone in a high position needs to come out and say it. " The French ARE NOT OUR ALLIES. There's little evidence they ever were."
It's time to stand up and clear the air on this in an official way. Does anyone dare speak truth to powderpuffs?

Who are the French?

Their government ran and left their women and children to weep as the Nazis goose-stepped down the Champs. Evil or Very Mad

Many happily loaded their Jews onto railroad cars at the Nazis' bidding. Evil or Very Mad

Charles De Gaulle, French general and "statesman" demanded Eisenhower kowtow to him during the planning/execution of Operation Overlord, the Normandy landing. Evil or Very Mad

I know many Free French valiantly served in the Resistance, God Love 'Em! If any still live they must be appalled. Sad

Having the French for an ally is like having Michael Jackson for a babysitter.
Having the French for an ally is like having CBS for a news source.

Why are so many French country roads and highways lined with trees?

So the Germans can march in the shade.

I realize that you have probably read this but in this case it bears repeating...

French Military Victories...errrr Defeats

- 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." Sainted.

- 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 Revolution
- 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 induces 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 every 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 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 drunk 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 marks 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 Esquimaux.

- War on Terrorism
- France, keeping in mind its recent history, surrenders to Germans and Muslims just to be safe. Attempts to surrender to Vietnamese ambassador fail after he takes refuge in a McDonald's.

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?"

"Why do we want the French in the Coalition...we aren't planning on surrendering.'

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

Or, better still, the quote from last week's Wall Street Journal: "They're there when they need you."

Now that was a beautiful post!

I think it summed up the French quite well. Even during this war on terror, the French are in fact being invaded - and as usual they just cannot see it. Watch when within the next 10-20 years as Europe led by France erupts in civil war as muslim extremists sensing the weakness which is french culture, take over Europe. It's already beginning....and just as had happened before, Europe will be begging the US to bail them out once again.

Future history yet unwritten is so predictable for those with eyes to see.

When the first Americans went ashore in N. Africa in WWII. Who was defending against them. That's right! The Vichy French. They gave up with mild resistence.
