#1 My father once told me "If you play Baseball with some people, they'll stick the bat up your ass." The White House has a few employees that haven't been able to sit comfortably for a over a month, and they won't soon forget about it.

#2 Why bother with Paris? Farnsworth is more than adequate, and it's in more friendly territory, to boot.

#4 Six Planes? Couple of B2s would be all that is necessary to put on a great JDAM demonstration...

#5 I really, really want to know what's in that box marked "France" next to the box that yielded the incriminating evidence of Galloway.

#6 CC - occurs to me that releasing stuff on Galloway would be a very nice signal to France of what we have on them. Not sure. We'll see how it plays out.

#7 Powell now says we will not punish Canada, Mexico, or Chile. He has said we will punish France. No comments thus far (AFAIK) on Germany or Russia. Looks like we'll focus the retribution on France alone.

#9 Canada, Mexico, and Chile were passively opposed. Germany would have been passive too if they weren't Allied to the French to take over the EU. Russia wouldn't have acted if France had not acted up.

France's opposition was active and venal: The lesson will be that if you oppose us, do it for noble reasons, not ignoble ones.

And don't be pompous asses while doing so...

I would support freezing out Mexico. Too many of their damned citizens are here illegally, they keep repeatedly crossing over in precisely that manner after being caught and deported, and Fox isn't willing to do a damned thing about it except insist that they should stay in the U.S. so that they can continue their bloodsucking.

#12 Colin does not have to punish Canada. We are doing a great job all by ourselves.

Support the UN on Iraq and get blindsided by WHO on SARS. Way to go Chretien!
