“Chink jokes?? I feel offended!

...but you can't hold yourself back...go right ahead. It doesn't bother me on bit.(American citizen since 10 years)”

“You're not a puss.

You're a bigot.”

“I am not a bigot, but you are a puss.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH”

“Why not be a man and own up to your bigotry? Why run from it? Embrace your hateful nature. It's obvious that you revel in it.”

“Huh? Wha? Speak clearly.

Get that tampon out of your mouth.

know."

Apparently ‘French Toast’ isn’t even from France. It seems that it originated near Albany, NY. Tavern owner Joseph French http://www.stratsplace.com/rogov/french_toast.html " target="_blank">intended to name it after himself but his grammar was poor and he left off the apostrophe s.

Safire: France Building Saddam's Missiles

Saddam Hussein went to France, by way of China and Syria, and got the parts for his long-range ballistic missiles.

No, not the ridiculous "Al Samoud" missiles, whose name sounds like a bad Americanization of a Muslim one ("Do you know Al? Al Samoud?").

We're talking about the missiles to which Saddam himself alluded when he said that destruction of the Al Samoud 2s was not of consequence. He said that Iraq
had other ways to protect itself.

Indeed it does.

William Safire, writing in today's NY Times, tells us that Qilu Chemicals, a leading manufacturer of a clear liquid rubber named hydroxy terminated
polybutadiene, known in the advanced-rocket industry as HTPB, sold the substance to a French middleman, CIS Paris, which Safire describes as "a Parisian broker that is active in dealings of many kinds with Baghdad."

Safire writes that the CIS director "is familiar with the order but denies being the agent," so we know the order took place.

But the U.N., which France is trying to use as a leash on the U.S., has to specifically approve such a transaction with Iraq.

Well, France and Iraq can't be bothered with that, so they had the shipment sent from China to Syria, which has been said to be hiding Saddam's weapons, to be
received by yet another company that acts for the Iraqi missile industry.

The rocket fuel was then simply trucked across the very long border Syria shares with Iraq, and no one was the wiser.

Until now.

Safire continued:

I'm also told that a contract was signed last April in Paris for five tons of 99% unsymmetric dimethylhydrazine, another advanced missile fuel, which is
produced by France's Société Nationale des Poudre etExplosifs.
"In addition, Iraqi attempts to buy an oxidizer for solid propellant missiles, ammonium perchlorate, were successful, at least on paper. Both chemicals, like HTPB, require explicit approval by the U.N. Sanctions Committee before they can be sold to Iraq.

Which they were not.

Safire suggests that perhaps the U.N. inspectors, under whose "watchful eyes"
all this has occurred, look at Iraq's El Sirat trading company and its affiliate, the Gudia Bureau, with respect to these dealings.

But they won't.

Hans Blix was put into power by the very nations that now oppose the U.S. at the U.N., and he is not about to bite the hand that feeds him.

Meanwhile, France is actively arming Saddam and apparently trying to create a situation where Saddam will have the ability to pile up U.S. and British bodybags should we invade.

Just why is France on the Security Council? The only country to which it provides security is apparently Iraq.”

“I forget. What was that whole Iraqgate scandal about anyway?

Ahh... it's probably not important anyway.

“God preserve us from the rent-a-cops...”

“OK, the jokes about the french are funny. People like to make fun of them, yadda, yadda. But that aside, what am I supposed to believe here? The French are interested in killing Americans? Get a life. The French are wimps? Yeah right. They put their troops in harms way more often then we do. Bosnia, Rwanda, Chad, Ivory Coast. Sounds like we are both responsible for arming Saddam, because we are both capitalists nations. Just like we did with Osama, Noriega, etc.

They disagree with us and have an attitude ( like we do). Get over it. All that anti-French clothing crap is just more stupid, nonsense American pop culture.”

“Ampèreheure, oui. Les Français ne sont rien mais un groupe de femmes effrayées avec du bon vin.”
