| France to Provide More Nukes to Anti-Semites? |
| 2004-05-24 |
| via Dissident Frogman: Coûteaux (EDD). – (FR) Madam President, the most surprising thing about our debate is our surprise, for Israel’s expansionist policy is the inevitable and predictable result of the growing imbalance in the region, the stability for which we bear much of the responsibility. Firstly that is because since 1967 most of our states, with the notable exception of France, have continued to give the State of Israel – a state that is growing increasingly self-assured and domineering – the impression that it can violate international law and UN resolutions with impunity. In reality, here as elsewhere we have followed Washington and persist in closing our eyes to the theocratic excesses of this religious state whose governments are under the thumb of fanatical parties and minorities that are just as bad as the other groups of religious fanatics in the region. That is why we should envisage imposing sanctions on Israel. There is, however, another serious imbalance for which we are in part responsible, namely the imbalance of forces. I have no hesitation in saying that we must consider giving the Arab side a large enough force, including a large enough nuclear force, to persuade Israel that it cannot simply do whatever it wants. That is the policy my country pursued in the 1970s when it gave Iraq a nuclear force. We have now destroyed it. So we will carry on with our policy of imbalance and what is happening today is merely the annoying but inevitable result of our collective blindness and cowardice. |

| #10 Please Mr. President, spare a few million from our treasury and bring back all of our countrymen who gave their lives to liberate that vile nation. |

| #9 If France starts giving nuclear weapons to Arabs, then it is time to take them out. Seriously, they need to have their nuclear arsenal removed, and if that means a nuclear first strike on France by the US then so be it. Unfriggin believable. |

| #8 Given that we have never heard a true word from a French politician, this is what I think. France knows it is doomed to a future filled with burkas and suicide bombers. This type of talk is designed as the first step in appeasing their future rulers. The idea being to delay the terrorist attacks on French by making loud anti-Israel and anti-US statements. They know that this alone is not sufficient to stop the bombs so they promise an amorphous Arab country some unknown amount of nukes at some undetermined time in the future. This prize is too big for any self respecting slodeydope to ignore so France will gain a pass. For the time being. The plan, of course, is that the US will have the terrorist mess cleaned up before France is forced to either break its' promise and be bombed or deliver the nukes to its' new bosses. |

| #7 It seems Vichy France was never really defeated, just lurking, waiting for the right time frame. |

| #1 Jeeze Louise!!! If that is France's position, and they carry through with it, we have a bonefide enemy on our hands. Could you imagine what Sammy would have done before GW1 if he rattled some Nukes before he invaded Kuwait. If France ever does this and gives away weapons to say Saudi Arabia or Egypt, or Iran, France has signed the death warrant for her people if their Arab clients use the nukes. This is absolute madness! |
