Is that all you got? Show up on a forum and proceed to insult basically all it's members?

Where is your debate? Where is your counter arguement? How do you ever expect to convince anyone of your beliefs (of which I can only make assumptions on what your beliefs are based only on that fact that you insult people. This can only lead me to believe you disagree but I don't know why you disagree and what you base your belief on) if you never actually debate? If you come on here and insult and attack?

@Drnaline,

Are you kidding me? First of all, as I browse around here, I'm being insulted in virtually every thread, particularly this one. (I'm French.) So don't give me that garbage. Like I said, when in Rome...

However, you have a point. I like to think of myself as being beyond that. I definitely made the wrong impression from the get-go, and I apologize. I should be able to rise above such pettiness and not stoop to the same level.

To your other point, I would be happy to debate you or anyone else on any subject. Just name it.

@Drnaline,

Fine. First of all, this isn't even news. The source is "Newsmax." While I'm not a liberal, I'm labelled one by this forum because I'm not conservative. But using Newsmax as an objective source for anything would be like a liberal using Michael Moore as a source for news.

Show me these claims from an AP or Reuters source, and we'll talk.

Secondly, there really is no debate in this thread. Some half-literate clown posts the Newsmax link, and everyone starts rabbling about bombing France. It's freaking hysterical. It's like the mob of angry citizens on South Park.

I'm glad you realised, apology excepted. If you haven't realised now you may realise in the future. That i am willing and able to stoop to any level. Pettyness works both ways and that is the lesson some find hard believeing but believe in they will. I apologise for my prior posts today as i did not run accross this one till now.

@Drnaline,

The Prof. is a Socialist aka Commie, I can spot them a mile away. At least he isn't posing as a Liberal like they usually do. Regarding France, what do you expect the forum members to say about France? The country has a history of being traitors and cowards, we liberated them once and we won't be rushing to aide them again.

As for your apology, mon dieu tabernac, bienvenue.

Did you? You personally served in WWII? If you want a history lesson, America wouldn't be here without the French.

I don't speak French. My family came from there, but I was born in America and don't speak the language.

I think we payed you guys back 100x over since then. I wouldn't have a problem with the French is they would stand up and fight off the muslim extremist instead of being buddy buddy with them. Instead of supporting a defiant Saddam Huessien and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. They don't however. They stand in the way of defeating the muslim extremists and offer no support.

Here is a good article on it: French connection armed Saddam - Nation/Politics - The Washington Times, America's Newspaper and The Scotsman - Saddam and the French Connection and Friends of Saddam: France's largest oil company. That just deals with Saddam.

Now the French are better with Iran granted. However their growing Muslim population within France has been putting political pressure on Chirac since the Iraq invasion to not support the United States in its war with against Muslim Extremists. Given that and Frances history of not stepping up to fix serious security problems I can't help to conclude that they will fail their supposed US ally again.

I dated a frenchie once, briefly, then l realized they don't wash...alittle talcum here, a little talcum there, and that's only on sundays...

and the only reason they are not a threat like iran is because they are still only 55% Muslim and so are not COMPLETELY under Islamic cultism, plus they have less and less tourism, due to the Muslims, and no oil...no mula, no power...somethings never change...

Thanks for the links. I'll get back to this thread after I've had time to read them. The sources don't look promising, though. Factless, conservative opinion rags.

We'll see what kind of Factless, liberal opinion rags you come up with. Got link?

@Drnaline,

It is my understanding that every country, regardless of there affiliations will always look after there own interests first. France is doing exactly that. Just as the U.S. does and every other country in the world. France has lucrative contracts with Iran, just as they did with Iraq. Thus the oppostion to any disruption of those contracts. Russia will certainly side with Iran as will China because they all have lucrative dealings with them. I think it foolish of any country not to protect their own interests at all times.
By the way, Their would have been no successful American Revolution without the French's assistance. But once again protecting their own interest, The French knew that by helping the American Colonies revolt they would weaken England. Little did they know that it would inspire a revolution in their own country.

Well, I'm not going to pay just to read it. Would you mind copy/pasting?

How's this from The Wall Street Journal -
"With the aim of shedding sanctions, Saddam, according to his regime's own records, was throwing billions in business and millions in bribes to France, Russia and, to a lesser extent, China, all veto-wielding permanent members of the Security Council. As it happened, sanctions were indeed eroding, and these three nations opposed the decision of the U.S. and Britain that Saddam either had to shape up or be shipped out."
