#1 Chirac is a real c**k sucker.

He's backstabbing us again - and he's even bailing on Reagan's funeral.

What does it take for the US to wake up and start treating this guys like what he is: an ENEMY.

#3 Jacques, Jacques, Jacques, how many times must I tell you that NATO's role is *not* to present a surrender, but to *receive* it.

#4 Mike: You seem to be of the opinion that all of Saudi Arabia, all the people in that nation, as well as all members of its government are in lock step with bin Laden. That there are no modern or moderate muslims in the halls of power, or in the street. Why does this strike me as racist, or simplistique?

#5 Anon - That is one of NMM's deeper thoughts - and part of why he's so endearing to RBers. Shallow people are safe for our children to play with.

#6 The UN and NATO are two separate organizations. The UN's resolution about Iraqi sovereignty did not obligate NATO to send security troops to Iraq any more than it obligated:
* the World Bank to send loan officers there
* the World Health Organization to send doctors there
* the World Organization of the Scout Movement to send scout leaders there.

#7 MW - You are joking when you instruct us that the UN and NATO are separate orgs, right? Lol! I sure as hell hope so!

#8 "Shallow people are safe for our children to play with."

Besides, it's sometimes useful to know what the kids on the short bus are talking about.

#9 In consideration of Chirac I provide a quote from Friends character,Rachel to Ross."No uteris no opinion".

#11 MW - Lol! Okay, in that case, you're a seriously humorless being in need of a bottle of chill pills. You don't read the commentary very closely, either, for I clearly indicated Chirac had merely changed venue - from org to org, get it? Relax.

#12 Tayyip Erdogan, a guest at the summit, later echoed Chiracâs concern.

Yippy to Chirac..."if I let you screw me, can I be your friend"?

#13 The question is not whether or not there is a role for NATO in Iraq. The question is whether or not there should be a role for France anywhere.

#14 The UN and NATO are two separate organizations
