#1  Could you avopid both this kind of jokes about surrendering (Sqarkozy has paid a fety political price for his american friendly policy) and, unlles you really have no choice, linking to MSNBC? It loks like MSNBC only reported an article of the Chritian Science Monitor but by having rantburgers going to MSNBC you put money in the pockets of a hardcore pro-Obama media.

#2  Not really surrender, but seeing the writing on the wall. He's going to let someone else hold the bag during the big financial collapse.

#3  President Sarkozy has indeed been a much better friend to America than President Obama would have liked, JFM.

#4  It is arguable that Sarkozy was/is a better friend to America than Obama.

#6  Every Euro politician caught up in the currency collapse is going to be ruined. Sarkozy is just the first.

#8  About surrendering. My grand uncle caughgt a bullet in the lung at Cassino. Buit we were Pieds Noirs (europeans living in Soth Africa). Fourty five pent (yes 45%) of Pieds Noirs of military age were drafted for liberating France. Of course as soon as the job was done we ceased being French and became a bunch of dirty Spaniards, Italians and Sefarad Jews (never mind that there were also a lot of people descending from the Alsatians who had settled in North Africa in 1871 when Germany occupied Alsatia).

Sarkozy has a hungarian father who, from distant memories, served in the Foreign Legion and aa Jewish or part Jewish mother. He is quite an alien too just like myself.
