France will help if there's a chemical attack

Of course they won't actually fight...

Quote:
French diplomats in Paris made clear this was not a change in France's refusal to join the war. "It is obvious we wouldn't sit back and not help if there was a chemical attack. But what we are talking about is medical assistance," one said.

I think the chemical weapons issue is one of the reasons Bush is pushing this war. I think he feels we have a better chance of proving that WofMD exist in a real scenario, rather than playing cat-and-mouse games in a controlled scenario where he gets to move them where ever he wants. I think the belief is that once his life/way of life is jeopardized, he'll have to use whatever he has, and then we'll get the backing of the entire world when we are proved right.

Blix said the other day he didn't think Iraq would use WMD because it would then turn world opinion totally against Iraq. It's going to be real interesting to see how this turns out. I pray Blix is correct.

Oh boy....the world-renowned French medical staff is on the case. Our troops should feel safer already.

The first problem that I have with this statement is that I don't trust Blix in the least.

The second issue that I have is that why would Saddam worry about world opinion is his back is up against the wall? Seems to make more sense that he would use them simply because world opinion will change once he is dead and the weapons are found. Either way, he loses.

Sorry France but your assistance won't be required.

See, we're not planning to run away nor cower in a cafe somewhere, so we'll be outside your area of expertise.

Actually, France would be of great assistance in instructing the Iraqi's on how to surrender to our troops.

If the Iraqis are already surrendering, it proves they have been buying french military equipment...

Regardless of administration policy and choices, if and when the fecal matter truly hits the rotary impeller, I can't see the French people NOT helping us and supporting us.

They can always donate more of those Bosnian ferrys to the cause.

Yeah, at some point they are going to want to beat us to all the evidence showing how often they've violated UN sanctions.

[quote]ps - fuck the war.[/quote}

no, Fuck Saddam

And it has nothing to do with france "disagreeing with us". Everyone has a right to there own opinion. Thats all well and good. We in America know how "soft" alot of Western Europe has gotten. But that doesnt mean we're gonna let them stop us from protecting our country. (and yours)

They are attempting to block us on all fronts..... rejecting our newest resoultion before Iraq even rejected it. France has alot to gain if Saddam stays in power and much to lose if we take him out. Im sorry your to blind to see that. And its a good thing your Prime Minister is smart enough to see it.

France is digging its own grave and Germany jumping in it with them.
