#8  The thing I don't understand is why the Germans are letting the French boss them around. Does Wacky Jacky Chiracky have something on Schroder?

#6  Not a problem. Just document all of Phrance's and Germany's involvement with Saddy's regime and give all the information to the current Iraqi leadership. I'm sure appropriate measures will be taken...

#5  I didn't think my opinion of Francermany could sink any lower, but there impotent, feeble contribution to NATO and the head-in-the-sand we-don't-see-any-genocide-in-Africa stance actually surprised me. Useless turds.

#2  nah. See, when the Germans and French decide to build a real military it will be sooooooo much better than the American one. They're going to do it any day now ....

Pfah. I spent the 80s and 90s listening to arrogant Germans tell me that their engineering was miles ahead of America's and that as soon as they decided to put in the effort, they would dominate the high tech world.

Uh huh.

They're all too busy taking long vacations and paying for big pensions.

#1  Since they would actually have to have a force in order to deploy one. Maybe they'll get around to it after ponying up for the commitments in Afghanistan they still haven't fulfilled?
