PARIS-After hearing the U.S. list of grievances layed out at the United Nations earlier this week,French Prime Minister Jacques Chirac felt it necessary to respond the Bush administrations " wreckless American cowboy attitude".

In a statement released early this morning Mr Chirac was quoted as saying " Why why why? Why must the United States always drag us into war? Does not President Bush know that the French are not in support of this action? We demand inspections...inspections ten fold! The people of France will not support the wreckless American cowboy attitude regarding Iraq and its alleged weapons of mass destruction. A peaceful solution must be found"

Prime Minister Chirac then proceeded to list specfic reasons why the French will take no part of military action.

" We French are not fighters, we are pastry chefs,bakers and fashion designers. We do not fight...I mean to say we fight but very very poorly,like very young school girls, lots of slapping and hair pulling. Can you imagine slapping an Iraqi soldier? The whole notion is laughable. I challenge you (the U.N.) to recall a time when France won a battle, let a lone a war! We cannot even beat the rebels in the Ivory coast, and they fight with sticks, coconuts and strong language. Faced with the daunting task of fighting a large well organized army France would crumble like a...like a French prize fighter. We as a people are more accustomed to surrenduring on our home soil. Take for example World War II, it was so nice for our defeated and demoralized troops to be able to walk home fromthe front. It would be hard to walk home from Iraq. Very much sand makes walking difficult and we are a somewhat sickly people not given to hard physical excersion. That is why we had colonies for many many decades.
We as a people do not want to repeat the humiliating defeat we received at Dien Ben Phu. That is why France from this day forth will only fight,retreat and surrender on the French homeland!"

When asked later about his long and frank comments Chirac was heard to say " We give you brie,and the finest wines, in return we get Jerry Lewis? Screw you!"

Let's think this strategy through a little more closely: It's a trick sir, there's two of them.

You do know that the US fought those Frenchies in Africa don't you. Actually, "fought" is much to strong a word. It was more like a walk in the park for our landing parties.

Thanks Artex, that was an interesting read. The French (usually the ones in power) in Quebec is just like that...always going against the flow, to make themselves stand out.

What is this? The Ugly Americans see how ugly they can get? Rednecks 'R' Us reprise?

I heard something Really funny yesterday AM on C-SPAN. Some dope called in b!tching about how France, Germany, Russia and China were "Defying America" LOLOLOL...

Sorry, but I don't define "America" as George Bush, his handlers and investors, LOL. His bullying talk reminds of a guy from the old neighborhood. He talked tough as long as he had his two goons standing behind him.

In '87, the political talk was all about 'the wimp factor' re: George H.W. Bush... a decorated combat veteran. What do we have now? The subsequent George makes the previous George look like John Wayne's screen persona (the real John Wayne never saw combat either).

Normandy Invasion without Yves San Laurent; a White House press
conference without Helen Thomas; holding Thermopylae without
goatherds; going on your honeymoon without your mother-in-law;
going on your honeymoon without your father-in-law; a beauty
contest without Ivan Rasputin; going to a Susan Sarandon movie
without earplugs; a Rolling Stones concert without Bill Clinton's
remarks; a 9-11 benefit concert without Hillary Clinton; going into
the ninth inning without your place-kicker; government schools
without the NEA; negotiating without Jimmy Carter; going to a
restaurant without the condescending gender-disoriented maitre d'; not having to worry about the enemy doing an end-run around your eastern flank; a picnic without ants and flies; starting a ballgame without Roseanne Barr; Texas barbecue without a croissant; going to the Moulin Rouge without Rosie O'Donnell; flying without
an anchor; I'm sorry, war without whom?; going to Marine boot
camp without a "Best of Liza Minnelli" album; going to A MENSA
convention without James Carville; going to war without Fonda,
Streisand and Sarandon, et al; "hallowed ground" without Geraldo; childbirth without Muzak; an American Conservative Union meeting without the "Communist Manifesto"; a bachelor party without Barney Frank; going to a sports bar without Phil Donahue; preferable; going to the mall without your husband; going to France without a war -- what's the point; a Super Bowl party without pate fois-gras; a risky scheme. (Albert Gore); who forgot the whine and stinky cheese; a starting lineup without Pee Wee Herman; eating Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam, snails, and Spam without the snails; going to hell and back without the flowery hand-basket; Military History!; going to the dentist without cavities; going to Tahiti without your snowshoes.....
