India, Pakistan.....

If this is true this is the biggest U turn so far....Iraq is out of control.

The US is desperate.

They can eat Freedom Fries and we can eat Crow.....

We are not at war with Eurasia. We have never been at war with Eurasia.

We don't need any stinky UN telling us what country to invade. Remember that line?

Yet another Bush flip flop.

THE FRENCH WON’T WIPE OUR ASS OR THE UN EITHER

what a bunch of shitheads in the WH

n/t

We have no Shame, none. What a flip flop.

French people not wanting to be part of Bush debacle was a very intelligent move. What bush did took an idiot.

I am tired of people putting the French down because they did not want to join in an illegal war. One that did not have to be and probably could have been handled in a much better way with multinational support.

USA governement created this monster and to put anyone down who does not want to be part of this dysfunctional administration is @%$#@%$

Does anybody besides me get the feeling that these guys are nothing but prostitutes? Prostitutes on the street corner, pulling up their skirt as the sun goes down. The stars come out, and they stand on the sidewalk, checking out all the cars that slow down to take a look. Someone pulls over. She walks up. The deal is made, in less than two minutes of wasted talking time.

That's the State Department nowadays. They call up all these countries, non-stop. No pride. No principles. Then, they blast all over that they've got a live one. "We think Madagascar might provide 5 troops next month". "Yes! One is feeling sick so he might wimp out, but we're really feeling sure about the other 4".

and will they have freedom mustard with it?
