The French president, Jacques Chirac, today gave his clearest indication yet that France could participate in a US-led war against Iraq as he called on troops to be ready for possible deployment.
Mr Chirac said there was reason to believe that French forces will continue to be needed in certain "operational theatres", a reference to civil unrest in the Ivory Coast, where more than 2,000 French troops are currently engaged.

Um, pardon me, but have the French ever done anything significant in a war...with the exception of losing?

Fuck the French.

If I were the wife and I'd known my picture would go out over the AP, I would not have worn those horizontal stripes. :)

I'm starting to think we might be serious about Iraq, though.

How long before kick off?

They've called up several guard units across the state over the last week.

[Persephone]

There's been a lot of activity in that direction this week. They've called up guard units here too.

What have the French done lately? I do mean besides knowing how to keep their rifles from accidentally discharging when dropped.

[truelies]

burned a few synagogues.

They certainly haven't added anything new to the world of personal hygiene.

[ilovelucy]

Suth--

Spot on about the horizontal stripes!

I think the French like desert warfare for some reason--maybe because they get to wear the cute hats with the flaps...

Hey,

Is that Jeny kissin' that Marine? ;D

[jeny]

Hey,

Is that Jeny kissin' that Marine? ;D


:D nope. My husband was never in the miltary. And I don't wear horizontal stripes, ever.

Kiss my frog!

I'll turn into a prince, I promise.
