| Group holding Iraq hostages pays 'tribute' to French stand on Iraq |
| 2004-09-30 |
| The Islamic Army in Iraq, holding two French hostages, praised France's stand after it called for a US-proposed conference to address the issue of a US troop withdrawal, in a statement Wednesday on the Internet. Who're the ones paying "tribute"? "The Islamic Army in Iraq pays tribute to the French government for its positive initiative towards the Iraqi people despite its deplorable history," said a statement posted on the group's website. And the French pay tribute to get their reporter back "We hope this heralds a new era of comprehension of our causes and respect for our priciples," added the statement posted on the website. Don't worry about that. We comprehend just fine. |

| #2 It's official: France is on the side of the "insurgents." Kick these clowns out of NATO. Better still, create a new alliance and set the bar high: either devote meaningful resources to the WOT or piss off. Better a small alliance of serious nations than a sprawling alliance that includes posturing pro-jihadist clowns. |

| #1 A normal nation would be morbidly embarrassed by this. But not Frogistan. |
