Come late August Mrs C (The Sturmbannfuhrer) and I will be making our annual drive down to Tuscany. We had intended to loiter through France to make more of a holiday of the journey, but b**ger the Frogs we have decided they ain't getting a single cent out of us. With judicious top-ups of fuel in Dover and Luxembourg we can avoid French filling stations and motorway tolls. Means overnighting in Germany, or perhaps Switzerland but better than giving the Frogs our hard earned.

Several members have sent me versions of this, including the two Franks(Wayt and Walsh, Owdun`s had piccies)

Subject: FW: Vive La France

"Going to war without France is like going duck hunting without your
accordion."
-- Donald Rumsfeld, U.S. Secretary of Defense
"As far as I'm concerned, war always means failure."
-- Jacques Chirac, President of France
"As far as France is concerned, you're right."
-- Rush Limbaugh
"They've taken their own precautions against al-Qa'ida. To prepare
for an attack, each Frenchman is urged to keep duct tape, a white flag, and
a three-day supply of mistresses in the house."
-- Argus Hamilton
"Somebody was telling me about the French Army rifle that was being
advertised on eBay the other day -- the description was, 'Never
shot.Dropped once.'"
-- Rep. Roy Blunt (MO)
"The French will only agree to go to war when we've proven we've
found truffles in Iraq."
-- Dennis Miller
"What do you expect from a culture and a nation that exerted more of
its national will fighting against DisneyWorld and Big Macs than the Nazis?"
-- Dennis Miller
Raise your right hand if you like the French .. raise both hands if you are French.

"You know why the French don't want to bomb Saddam Hussein? Because
he hates Americans, he loves mistresses and wears a beret. He is French, people."
-- Conan O'Brien
"I don't know why people are surprised the French don't want to help
us get Saddam out of Iraq. After all, France wouldn't help us get the
Germans out of France."
-- Jay Leno
Q. What did the mayor of Paris say to the German Army as they
entered the city in WWII?
A. Table for 100,000 m'sieur?
"The last time the French ask for 'more proof' it came marching into Paris under a German flag."
-- David Letterman
"Do you know how many Frenchmen it takes to defend Paris? It's not known, it's never been tried."
-- Rep. R. Blount (MO)
"Do you know it only took Germany three days to conquer France in WWII?
And that's because it was raining."
-- John Xereas, Manager, DC Improv

Vivre la France, vivre la republic but most of all, vivre la differance ( between you and the rest of us Kermit) :P
Aye,

Heres a thought

An American congresswoman is trying to introduce a bill to pay for relatives of those buried in France to bring their bodies back to the states.
Probably for a burial in Arlington. Some of ya'll may want to consider asking your own elected to look into this. There is nothing more disgusting than a dead warriors grave being vandalized. It honestly turns my stomach. A good April fools joke would have been for the pentagon to announce it would be launching a major air assault against Paris in 24 hours. Stating that we wanted to try out a few hundred of our new "MOAB'S". Would have been fun just to watch them scamper. Im so pissed off at these people I cant even see straight. Its not just a matter of them disagreeing with our decision to go to war- a recent poll shows that fully 1/3 of French people actually want us to lose the war. That translates to them wanting us to die. As I allways say- The world is upside down.

P.S. Another 1/3 said they were not sure if they wanted us to win. And then there was a percentage who said they diddnt care if we won or not. This leaves a very small amout of them who actually even wish us well. Bastards.
Home on the range.

Personally I think it's too early to start bringing soldiers buried in France back, this scuffle between France and the US/UK is quite new, and there's plenty of time to patch relationships together. I think once the anti US sentiments coming from Chirac start resulting in a damaged French economy and a drop in trade, he will start losing more votes than he gained and will turn around. Also, the type of hysteria prevailant in France at the moment is of the sort not likely to last, they might say, "Americans? Oh yes, they're not very nice people" in conversation, but no-one can be bothered to keep going to rallies and protests forever and at least some negativity will fade away.

Most French people are just as upset over it and the majority of peace protesters want just that.

Don't let the actions of a minority cloud your vision.
