Viva la France!

Commisioned Officers of the FFL are Frenchman.

There is all sorts of ridiculous slander of everything French hitting the media in the USA. The first casualty of any war is the truth.

Had it not been for Adm. Compte de Grasse, Gen. Washington would not have had his victory over Cornwallis. Then what?

I'm a veteran of Korea and Viet Nam. We were beaten soundly in the latter, and squeaked out a stalemate in the former.

We'll crush Hussein for the money involved. It will have nothing to do with WMD, US Patriot Act, etc.. Hussein had the nerve to nationalise the oil industry in Iran, just as The Taliban gave a thumbs down to a pipeline through Afghanistan.

Three Arab nations have now switched to the EU from the US Dollar.

Stand by for Bush and Israel to redraw the map of the region.

Does anyone actually believe we have 5 Carriers, a huge USAF presence, and 250,000 troops in the region to surpress Iraq's rag-tag infantry?
