Iran to France: We'll get you, and your little dog!
2013-11-11

More deliciousness from the leftist Guardian UK. Who knew French soc1al1sm was the same as American neocons.
From TFA:

France's role in Geneva talks that ended with no agreement over Tehran's nuclear programme has prompted bewilderment and anger inside Iran.

Iranians, who stayed awake all night to find out whether their negotiators have reached a breakthrough with the west, were disappointed that France was prepared to defy the Americans and block a stopgap deal, and that western sanction would not end any time soon.

The Irna state news agency reported that Iranian businessmen were considering reducing their trade ties with France, saying they no longer considered it as a good partner because of its "adventurist and immature behaviour" at Geneva.

#7  The French have been down this road before.

Note how they are not only being assertive here, but with the Mali, Libya, and more statesman issues than have been noticed as of late.

They deserve some credit for taking the high road instead of the easy - and it makes a good impression.

#6  Yep. Funny thing is, if you pronounced 'Détroit' the way the French do, not a single person living in the city would even know what you were talking about.

#5  Omineque Glaise1236, your link reminds me of Detroit on Devil's Night. Oh so nasty.

Detroit, is a French word meaning "strait" as in "le détroit du lac Érié"

#3  Gritting my teeth I have to save Viva la France.

Thank God for the French.

The only adults in the room on the nuclear issue.

We are being played like a bongo drum in an old I Love Lucy comedy on this one.

Only trouble is we're Lucy and the French are Fred and Ethel.
