Yes 51% No 49%

They sure aren't my adversaries. I consider them my heros, anyone that will tell bush like it is, is all right by me.

1. Time to DU this poll everyone....n/t

2. Should read:

Is France an adversary of the Bush Administration?

Hell Yes.....that's why we like them

[ixion]

3. viva la France!!

don't listen to the sheeple France!! There are many of us here in the States who remember, and who still consider you a close friend. :loveya: :grouphug:

4. France is our friend

we are just too stupid to realize it.

kind of like when a friend has a drug problem, and other friends get together to intervine. The addict nearly ALWAYS blames the friends and calls them enemies

8. The answer is "yes"

Unfortunately, at the moment, France is an adversary of the US--in that it has taken an adversarial position on US foreign policy as it pertains to Iraq. In my opinion, France is right to do so, and it is the US that has caused this adversarial relationship.

It boggles the mind that the US would have the gall to go to the World community and ask for financial and military help in Iraq, when it 'went it alone' in the war. Does the phrase, "you break it, you buy it" have any meaning anymore?

9. A poorly phrased question to say the least.

On first take, I'd say NO - they're just a good ally, and good allies don't let friends drive drunk into imperialism.

On the other hand, I'd say YES - the bushies have forced France - and the rest of the world - into an adversarial position. It is no longer the US that is the shining beacon of hope in the world; it is no longer the US that cares about human and civil rights; etc. The rest of the world is correct to oppose us at this time. When we grow up and return to the world community, France and the rest of the world will welcome us back with open arms.

10. It's asinine that it is even a question

let alone - 50/50.

[kentuck]

11. I hope they are an adversary to George W Bush - not the USA..

???

22. What's your answer ?

"???" isn't a response.

12. This is really tragic

France has been the best ally of the United States. France has been with the US since the very beginning. It really boggles my mind that within the short time of this illegimate administration this friendship is being being strained to the breaking point.

13. GO F*UCK YOURSELVES MSGOP

I wrote those bastards a pretty explicit response about their devisive question. These types of questions are driving the US into more and more of an isolationist policy. MSGOP LIVES! <--I actually wrote that to them :)

[damnraddem]

And mine was only one.

[GainesT1958]

15. Just said <<Mais, NON!>>...

Looks as though the tide, for now, has turned in our favor: 51/49 "no"! :D

As they say in Paris: <<Vive La VERITE!>> :7

B-)

16. Read: Are French companies an adversary of GE?

Yes, and that is the real push behind the animosity.

[Robin Hood]

17. What a stupid fucking question.

I swear that MSNBC keeps digging it's grave deeper and deeper in an attempt to win over fox viewers. Talk about lousy management.

Here's the more appropriate question: Is America an adversary to the world?

[Melsky]

19. It's at 50/50 again

I just voted

[lebkuchen]

20. It's 50-50 now

Chirac's speech walloped Bush's diatribe. Get over it, America.

[BonjourUSA]

21. ONLY 50/50 !!! GOOD NEWS !!!!

regime change in Paris

[Enraged American]

26. Vive la France...

It's funny how O'Reilly tries to make Chirac look like such an "anti-American" President. Imagine if Socialist candidate Lionel Jospin or National Front candidate Jean-Marie Le Pen had been elected!!!

Chirac = center-right Gaullist (de Gaulle not a cooperative man with US imperialism himself), but that's a hell of a lot better for America than a Socialist or near-Fascist.

30. I'm curious

28. "Should Pres. Bush give in to France?"

That was the "fair and balanced" question posed yesterday.

[denverbill]

29. What a fucked up country we live in.

More than 1/2 the country thinks France is an adversary. I wonder what they'd say about Russia, China, and Germany?

[ElsewheresDaughter]

31. friends DON"T let friends drive drunk! France is our friend!

[janekat]

32. "we're just making the French feel more superior"
