#1 Chirac's gang isn't even fit for ridicule, let alone contempt. For either, your opponents must take you seriously. I suspect that the French government thinks that all will be well once the shooting stops. In part they are right. We shall not shoot up Paris or salt the Bordeaux, but I expect that we will ignore them at every turn. As usual, the Frog-politicos are the last to recognize their own irrelevance.

Jackasses.

#2 No problem, President Jacques, You are invited to bid on any piece of business. However, please be advised all specs will be in "inches, pounds and miles", all electrical will be in good old 2 prong, you know, just like at the UN, and all bids written in US Dollars... not those colorful Wahooties you buy bagguetes with on the Left Bank!

#6 "Thank you. We have received your request, and will process it as soon as possible. We must say, however, that we have also received requests from Germany, Russia, and China that we must consider as well. We will notify you immediately if your request is approved. The notification will be forwarded between two Buffs, aimed at Premir Chirac's anal orifice, at full throttle."

(In)Sincerely,
Iraq Reconstruction Agency

#11 The Froggies should worry more about the Muslims in their own country. Within ten years, there will be near-civil war in France. Or a peaceful surrender to the Islamists. Whichever.
