I sent the following to the cowards at the French embassy in DC.

Their response was:
President Jacques Chirac issued a communiqué on June 5, 2004, expressing his
shock and sadness to learn of the death of former president Ronald Reagan.
President Chirac pays tribute to the memory of this great statesman who,
through the strength of his convictions and his commitment to democracy, will
leave a deep mark on history.
He extends his very sincere and heartfelt condolences to Mrs. Nancy Reagan and
their children.
President Chirac is unable to attend President Reagan's official state funeral
on June 11 in Washington, DC, due to the vast number of commitments that
require his attention, including the celebrations for the 60th anniversary of
D-Day, the G-8 Summit in Sea Island, Georgia, the June 13 European Union
Parliamentary elections, and the June 17-18 European Union Council convened to
draft an EU Constitution. President Chirac expresses his deepest sympathy to
the American people for the loss they have just suffered.
A number of delegates representing France will attend President Reagan's
funeral, including former president Giscard d'Estaing and Foreign Minister
Michel Barnier.

I therefore responded: Thanks for the non-response to my message. The French response was:
While I am not sure exactly what it is you want to know, I appologize for the
automated response that was sent to you the other day. Information about France's
position on Iraq and UN resolutions can be found on our website:
www.ambafrance-us.org. If you can't find the information you are looking for, I
can give you more specific website instructions. Your comments have been heard.
Cordialement/Regards,

I need some quotes (or web sites) that show the French's lack of support to the US's action, money illegally going to France, failure to support the 17 UN resolutions, etc.
I did do a web search but it was too overwhelming for my internet challenged brain.
Thanks

Good man! I suggest you get the book "The French Betrayal of America", by Kenneth R. Timmerman. You'll have enough with just that.
1st chapter (Le Divorce) deals with Moussaoui, it goes on and on.. Just what your looking for. _________________ "From time to time, the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of tyrants and patriots." -- Thomas Jefferson
