#3 Sorry. I'm so sorry, people, but I can't resist one last bit of fake news: This just in! Jacques Chirac, feeling the sting of behind the curve on the entire Coalition-Iraq conflict, said in a secret meeting with his cabinet that "We need to be ahead of the curve for the coming Coalition-North Korea conflict! I want us to start saying "No" now, not later! Nobody, but nobody, cuts us off at the knees before we have a chance to cut ourself off at the knees!" It is further reported that his cabinet agreed that Chirac's tactic, referred to now as a Pre-emptive Weasel, sounded like a pretty darn good idea, but it should be noted his cabinet is composed of frenchmen.

#4 I realize Chirac thinks Merkins are simplistic, so let me try to convey a subtle and carefully nuanced message here:

Nah nah nah nah
Nah nah nah nah
Hey hey hey
Goodbye!

#6 Get the Poles to make a deal with the Germans. Quietly. They both need development help, and both because of the ex- "Workers Paradise".

Give the Krauts a good chance to jump ship without drowning, and just watch how fast they desert their new-found best buddies in Frogland.

#7 Don't you just love that French arrogance? Such behavior goes only so far, and when pressed or left out, they cry like the spoiled brats they are. Jacques-baby and his crew of cry babies are on outside looking in and this one folks. The meeting of the "Gang of the Irrelevant Four" notwithstanding.

#8 ROFLMAO! Every time I read "France" and "demands" in the same sentence I start laughing hysterically!

#10 Dar---I can empathize with your feelings, LOL. I just love it when Chiraq "demands" this and "demands" that. There is nothing like the results one gets when one is negotiating from a position of WEAKNESS.

#11 Sounds like someone needs a diaper change!
Hey, does that mean that the UN should oversee the Ivory Coast, too? Didn't think so....

#13 It's really getting hard to determine who's banging the high chair louder, Chiraq or Kimchee?

#14 Jacques and Kofi: We do have a position for you in the Iraq reconstruction - does the name: Monica Lewinsky bring anything to mind?

#15 I've heard a few reporters compare the liberation of Baghdad with the liberation of Paris in 1944. Oh, how I hope Chirac heard those reports.

#16 I just hope the Iraqi people remember who bailed them out 60 years from now. As to the French - does the term PACK SAND mean anything?
