Kerry needs to pounce on this French thing to prove W's lack of leadership

[billbuckhead]

France is literally our oldest ally. Their fleet and army was pivotal at Yorktown. Ask Ben Franklin. Maybe they are pompus goofballs but they were among the deaths in Beirut when our Marines got blown up, they are with us in Afghanistan and they rescued Americans in harms way in Africa as recently as months ago. The immature way the Bush administration treats our oldest ally sends a terrible message to potential new allies. You know you're in crazyworld (Bushworld) when France, Canada and Mexico are our enemies and a King in Saudi Arabia, a dictator in Pakistan and the Likud party are America's best friends.

2. I'm so sick of this eternal French bashing I could scream

They were RIGHT fer cryin out loud. If we had listened to them we wouldn't be in this quagmire getting our kids killed and wasting gazillions of dollars with no way out.

These people....these people, I simply think are evil
