France is simply standing up for what they believe to be right

So are we.

Yeah, and the fact that Bush has been planning regime change in Iraq since shortly after 9/11 doesn't arouse any suspicion? And there are those that report Bush and his cronies talking/planning for this before he even got into the White House! France is simply standing up for what they believe to be right: Iraq can be contained and inspections can go on until all WMD are found and destroyed. But, Bush is so obsessed with regime change in Iraq that he cannot wait for the peaceful resolution. This is the first time in history that the United States has abandoned diplomacy and will attack a country without being attacked first. The fact that Bush has tossed diplomacy aside because he cannot get what he wants, does not bode well for the future of global diplomacy. What are we going to say to China when it decides that Taiwan is a "imminent threat" to China's security? This is what bothers France and a great many other people around the globe. No one argues that Saddam is being misunderstood or that he is not a bad man. We all know this. He has been a bad man for many years. And though many administrations. Including Reagan's administration which be-friended Saddam while it was at war with Iran. As a matter of fact, we helped put Saddam Hussein in power over thirty years ago. France shares cupability due to the fact that it has economic ties to Iraq. But, that is something we in the USA should understand only too well. The rest of the world is tired of our hypocrisy.

Willard: Never get out of the boat. Absolutely goddamn right. Unless you were goin' all the way. Kurtz got off the boat. He split from the whole fuckin' program.

8:00 PM EST tonight. The rumor here in DC is that Saddam will get 48 - 72 hours to leave Iraq before the bombs start raining down. We'll all know in a couple of hours...

Well put JM. I was hinting to that in short with my added insider info on the French version below Anyone know when the ultimatum is going to be on TV tonight? I think I might be more interested in getting plastered for St. Patty's though weeeeeeee

What in the hell is up with the whole French bashing thing?

That's easy. As a member of the United Nations, France agreed to resolution 1441 which would allow the use of force against Iraq if it was found to be in material breach of that resolution. Iraq is in material breach and, in a post-9/11 world, the United States is simply tired of giving them "one more chance" to comply especially when there is every indication that they will never comply. However, the United States had proposed introducing a new resolution (although certainly not required to do so) in an effort to appease the concerns of some of our "allies" who fear we are rushing to war. France, chosing to be the most vocal opponent, responds by stating that they fully intend to veto any new resolution without even seeing the new resolution!?!? So are we feeling a little pissed off with the French? Absolutely. Should that surprise anyone? I don't see why it should given the circumstances.

What in the hell is up with the whole French bashing thing? And all that b*llshit about the "Freedom Fries"? Just because France doesn't support the imperialistic war on Iraq shouldn't mean that the US should forget the French. France was America's first ally.

Anyway, it sucks that they're removing the "rude language" from the game. Censorship sucks. I mean come on. A lot of people actually talk that way, especially in tense situations, i.e. war. Jesus, the game is] set in Vietnam.
