In this case, however, our soldiers will be waging this war in Iraq not against the Evil Empire, but against the Axis of Weasels, led of course by the worlds greatest Weasel power, <a href="http://www.washtimes.com/national/20030307-545570.htm">France</a>. <br /> <br /><ul>A French company has been selling spare parts to Iraq for its fighter jets and military helicopters during the past several months, according to U.S. intelligence officials. <br /> <br />The unidentified company sold the parts to a trading company in the United Arab Emirates, which then shipped the parts through a third country into Iraq by truck. <br /> <br />The spare parts included goods for Iraq's French-made Mirage F-1 jets and Gazelle attack helicopters. <br /> <br />An intelligence official said the illegal spare-parts pipeline was discovered in the past two weeks and that sensitive intelligence about the transfers indicates that the parts were smuggled to Iraq as recently as January. <br /> <br />Other intelligence reports indicate that Iraq had succeeded in acquiring French weaponry illegally for years, the official said. <br /></ul> <br /> <br />Of course, to be truly like Vietnam or Korea, the Axis of Weasels would have to commit their own regular troops, something we know the French are particularly unsuitable for. <br /> <br />We may really have France over a barrel on this one, though: <br /> <br /><ul>The importation of military goods by Iraq is banned under U.N. Security Council resolutions passed since the 1991 Persian Gulf war.</ul> <br /> <br />If we can indeed show that France has been exporting arms to Iraq in violation of resolutions of the Security Council, we may well be able to use this to our advantage should we try to get France kicked out as a permanent member of the Council, to be replaced by more appropriate nations such as India and Japan. <br /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5040940-90317266?l=bashfrance.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Michaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07229530510212914284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5040940.post-902624852003-03-06T14:12:00.000-08:002003-03-06T14:14:53.000-08:00<span class="bodyheadline">Hehehehe</span> <br /> <br />From <a href="http://www.victoryvillage.com/STINKS/Fjokes.htm">France Stinks.com</a>: <br /> <br /><ul>The Train Ride : <br /> <br />The only seat available on the train was directly adjacent to a well dressed middle aged French woman and the seat was being used by her dog. <br /> <br />The weary traveler asked, "Ma'am, please move your dog. I need that seat." The French woman looked down her nose at the American, sniffed and said, You Americans. Your are such a rude class of people. Can't you see my little FiFi is using that seat?" <br /> <br />The American walked away, determined to find a place to rest, but after another trip down to the end of the train, found himself again facing the woman with the dog. Again he asked, "Please, lady. May I sit there?". I'm very tired." <br /> <br />The French woman wrinkled her nose and snorted "You Americans! Not only are you rude, you are also arrogant....Imagine!" <br /> <br />The American didn't say anything else, he leaned over, picked up the dog, tossed it out the window of the train and sat down in the empty seat. The woman shrieked and railed, and demanded that someone defend her honor and chastise the American. <br /> <br />An English man sitting across the aisle spoke up indignantly "You know,sir, you Americans do seem to have a penchant for doing the wrong thing. You eat holding the fork in the wrong hand. You drive your autos on the wrong side of the road.

Human Rights Commission to Investigate in 2015.</span> <br /> <br />We're aware that the French have no care for the well being of the Iraqi peoples, since they insist on trying to keep Saddam Hussein's Murderous Regime in power for their own profit. We're also aware that the French have no care for the lives of Americans, since they insist on coddling a Murderous Regime that wishes to kill Americans. What is perhaps most shocking, however, is that they also care nothing for their own children, since Michael Moore's most recent decepta-film <i>Bowling for Columbine</i> is now a part of the French educational <a href="http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/tribune-review/opinion/reiland/s_120913.html">curriculum</a>: <br /> <br /><ul>Moore's film became a certified part of the French national curriculum after winning the "Cannes Prix Educational National" award, voted on by hundreds of French teachers and students. The film also made French history by being the first documentary chosen in nearly 50 years to be part of the official Cannes Film Festival competition. Hands down, "Bowling for Columbine" won the festival's 55th Anniversary Special Prize. "It was the only prize awarded," explains Moore, "that received a unanimous decision from the festival jury." <br /> <br />What the jurors unanimously liked was the picture Moore painted of America, a wild-eyed nation of militia crazies, gun nuts, military bravado, imperialistic warmongers and dull-witted suburban fathers who shuffle off to their jobs at Lockheed Martin each morning to make weapons of mass destruction while their trigger-happy kids are over at Columbine High, first going to bowling class in the morning and then blasting their classmates to smithereens. <br /> <br />[...] <br /> <br />The French school kids [will learn] learn that welfare is good and capitalism is bad. They'll learn that greedy white people in America, too cheap to pay for welfare, turned a 6-year-old into a killer. They'll learn that Columbine High was quintessentially American. They'll learn that the poor are poor because the rich are rich, that it's a zero-sum game in which every gain for the rich comes out of the hide of the poor, and that the Third World is weak because America is strong, and that people are subjugated because America is oppressive. They'll learn that Lockheed Martin is Auschwitz. <br /> <br />They'll learn that George W. Bush is a bigger terrorist than Osama bin Laden. And they'll learn, if their teacher is up on the latest prizes, that the International Documentary Association, in a poll of 2000 documentary filmmakers around the world, ranks Moore's anti-American rant as the "Best documentary of all time." <br /> <br />[...] <br /> <br />What they won't learn is that the last time around the French dealt with Hitler's appetite by tossing him a slice of Czechoslovakia. And then a piece of Poland. And then Paris. <br /> <br />They won't learn that France contributed more food to Nazi Germany than any other occupied territory. They won't learn about how appeasement failed, or about the French sense of defeat, or the level of French collaboration with those who sought their destruction, or about those who met terror with submission. <br /></ul> <br /> <br />RWT<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5040940-90261896?l=bashfrance.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Michaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07229530510212914284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5040940.post-896604382003-02-24T11:41:00.000-08:002003-02-24T11:41:57.390-08:00<span class="bodyheadline">France?

It is time everyone swept off his own doorstep and closely examined his government's responsibilities. In my view, Paris has committed five cardinal sins. <br /> <br /><b>1. Demolition.</b> Responding to the eight-plus-10 European states that have sided with the United States, President Jacques Chirac sealed an "alliance for peace" with President Vladimir Putin of Russia on Feb. 10. In so doing, he revived in Central Europe the harsh memory of three centuries spent in the shadow - or under the heel - of the Russian "big brother." <br /> <br />With the European community divided and NATO splintering, the Franco-German duo calls itself "Europe" and says it speaks for 25 nations, but represents only three (thanks to Belgium). The "old European" couple criticizes American "arrogance" and "unilateralism," compliments that can easily be turned back on them. Is there a more insane way to saw off the branch you're sitting on? Is there a less productive path to European unity? <br /> <br /><b>2. Moral scandal. </b>The French-German-Russian coalition (joined by China and Syria) proclaims itself the "moral" axis, the "peace camp." But this "anti-war party" has its feet firmly planted in war. For those who may have forgotten, think of the Caucasus, where the Russian Army razed Chechnya's capital city, Grozny, and left from 100,000 to 300,000 cadavers in its wake. <br /> <br />No more horrific war is being waged against civilians today. The Holocaust Museum in Washington - which can hardly be suspected of spreading extremist Islamic propaganda - ranks the Chechen conflict No. 1 on its "genocide watch." What are the anti-war activists dreaming of when Chirac promises Putin his support? <br /> <br />In the name of "international law," Paris and Berlin are choosing curious allies. Witness the recent election, thanks to the abstention of the Europeans, of Libya to the chair of the UN Human Rights Commission! Putin, Jiang Zemin of China, Moammar Gadhafi of Libya, Bashar Assad of Syria: why is the "peace camp" attracting butchers? <br /> <br /><b>3. Demagogy over democracy. </b>Eighty percent of Westerners support peace over war. Who wouldn't? Draping themselves in "global opinion" and scoffing at other governments as "vassals" of the war clique, Paris and Berlin are recycling arguments used by the Stalinist "peace movements." The revolutionaries of yesteryear pitted "peoples" against "formal democracy." Do Chirac and Chancellor Gerhard Schröder of Germany today question the notion that, in a proper democracy, decisions are made not by polling institutes, or at the stock market, or in the streets, but in the voting booth? The elected representatives in London, Prague, Sofia, Madrid, and Warsaw are as legitimate as those in Paris and Berlin. <br /> <br /><b>4. Powerlessness. </b>The same global opinion polls, meanwhile, show that 75 percent of the world views Saddam as a threat to peace. While one actor can indeed trigger a conflict, it takes two to disarm. Yet for the past 12 years Baghdad has done nothing but deceive and delay. A malevolent state can easily camouflage instruments of biological and chemical terror, scientists agree. Dragging out inspections and adding inspectors will only allow the dictator to push the game into overtime forever. <br /> <br /><b>5. Wait and not see.</b> Well-meaning souls whisper, "Certainly the Iraqi tyrant is a villain. He's tortured, killed, gassed. But how many other leaders around the world have blood on their hands? Why pick on Saddam?" Because he is more frightening. Because he is an ever-present powder keg in the heart of a fire zone. Because we must stop him from playing with his apocalyptic matches. <br /> <br />Imagine Kim Jong Il, North Korea's leader, with his arsenal, ruling Iraq, threatening to pulverize not Seoul but Riyadh. The planet would be petrified! The Iraqi problem is not that of a local dictator, but a global peril. However, if you listen to the "peace party," it's always too early - "Iraq has no nuclear weapons; there's no need to intervene" - or too late - "North Korea has nuclear weapons; it's too dangerous to take action." <br /> <br />Paris and Berlin are living on a cloud. That does not mean American strategists are infallible or that we have to hand them a blank check. <br /> <br /><i>The writer is a French philosopher.

"It is not well brought up behavior. They missed a good opportunity to keep quiet." <br /> <br />Chirac was angered when EU candidates Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic joined pro-U.S. EU members such as Britain, Spain and Italy last month in a letter supporting Washington's line on Iraq against the more dovish stance of France and Germany. <br /> <br />Paris was further upset when 10 other eastern European nations signed a similar letter a few days later. <br /> <br />France argued that the moves aggravated splits in the 15-nation EU and backed the ideas put forward by U.S. Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld who had earlier spoke of France and Germany as "old Europe" in contrast to the easterners seeking to join the EU and NATO (news - web sites). <br /> <br />"Concerning the candidate countries, honestly I felt they acted frivolously because entry into the European Union implies a minimum of understanding for the others," Chirac told reporters after an emergency EU summit on Iraq. <br /> <br />He warned the candidates the position could be "dangerous" because the parliaments of the 15 EU nations still have to ratify last December's decision for 10 new members to join the bloc on May 1, 2004. <br /> <br />Chirac particularly warned Romania and Bulgaria, who are still negotiating to enter the bloc in 2007. <br /> <br />"Romania and Bulgaria were particularly irresponsible to (sign the letter) when their position is really delicate," Chirac said. "If they wanted to diminish their chances of joining Europe they could not have found a better way." <br /> <br />Britain, Spain and other EU nations had suggested the candidate nations attend Monday's emergency summit on Iraq, but France and Germany opposed the idea. <br /> <br />Although Spanish Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar and British Prime Minister Tony Blair (news - web sites) were the driving forces behind the letter backing America and EU members Italy, Denmark and Portugal also signed up, Chirac saved his wrath for the candidates. <br /> <br />"When you're in the family you have more rights than when you're knocking on the door," he said. <br /> <br />Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Slovenia, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Cyprus and Malta are set to join in May 2004.

Claims a tie on the basis that eventually the other participants started ignoring her. <br /> <br />- 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.

Bring them home to a hero's welcome, because the French do not seem to remember that it was <i>our</i> boys who died for <i>their</i> freedom.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5040940-88967000?l=bashfrance.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Tony Rosennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5040940.post-889351472003-02-11T14:16:00.000-08:002003-02-11T14:16:20.600-08:00Via <a href="http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/2.05/french.policy.html">Wired</a>, France must subsidize it's film industry in order to preserve some sort of "Frenchness" in world cinema, no matter how small or pathetic that "Frenchness" may be. I mean, has anyone SEEN a French movie lately? The last one I bothered to see was the Brotherhood of the Wolf, and although it had some decent special effects and a whorehouse scene (surprise!), it was still a pretty shitty action movie. For example, in the first fight scene of the movie, one of the heros uses the same move on a group of baddies 3 times! I mean, wouldn't they catch on and stop getting kicked like that? Oh, wait, the baddies in question WERE French Military. Never mind, I suppose BotW wasn't so inaccurate, after all.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5040940-88935147?l=bashfrance.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Michaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07229530510212914284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5040940.post-889348472003-02-11T14:10:00.000-08:002003-02-11T14:10:38.826-08:00<a href="http://www.pave-france.org/">Pave France.</a> Now.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5040940-88934847?l=bashfrance.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Michaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07229530510212914284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5040940.post-889345592003-02-11T14:04:00.000-08:002003-02-11T14:07:09.000-08:00Yay, content. <a href="http://tinpan.fortunecity.com/haight/969/oui.html">Here's a list</a> titled "A Few Good Reasons to Hate The Cheese Eating Surrender Monkeys": <br /><ul><center> <br /> <br />#1) The Smell <br />The French people have a different standard of cleanliness than most people with teeth do. <br /> <br />#2) The Attitude <br />When the social skills of the French people are considered, the 2000 year history of them getting <br />their asses kicked by EVERYONE seems overly lienent. <br /> <br />#3) The Envy <br />"Sprechen Sie Duetsch?" Usually shuts the little shits right up! <br /> <br />#4) The Laws <br />The French legislature has passed "Cultural Preservation" laws that regulate which kinds <br />of words can and cannot be used in French dictionaries. Anything English-related is forbidden. <br />For example, a cafe must sell "a hamburger with a slice of cheese" because the use of the <br />word "cheeseburger" would not be French. Talk about SIZE issues... <br /> <br />#5) The Waffling <br />The groveling little french swine never cease to amaze me with their pettiness & lack of direction. <br />Even though the French military hasn't been credible since Napoleon, they still try and play <br />themselves off as a Great Power. They have left and rejoined NATO once already, usually seek <br />to cause as much disruption in the ranks as possible, and seem to have no appreciation <br />for the FAVOR being done for them. As far as I'm concerned, the French can pick up <br />the banner of leadership in the west anytime that they have the balls to....Don't laugh! <br /> <br />#6 The Slop <br />What other "culture" looks at snails and pig genitals and sees food? <br /> <br />#7 The "Films" <br />The french film industry is like a bad date that won't end. <br />The greasy little shit who is supposed to get his ass kicked is inevitably the hero. <br /></center></ul><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5040940-88934559?l=bashfrance.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Michaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07229530510212914284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5040940.post-889249022003-02-11T10:48:00.000-08:002003-02-11T10:48:30.690-08:00In light of all of the material that France and its detractors have been providing for us lately, we've decided to put together this site in hopes that you, the members of the blogosphere, might enjoy a central clearing house of France Bashing and France Bashing related products and services.
