Hey Prosper. Did you see this? Thanks to Patrick for the link.
PARIS, France (AP) -- France's foreign minister warned Sunday that the world should prepare for war if Iran obtains nuclear weapons and said European leaders were considering their own economic sanctions against the Islamic country.
War? France? WTF?
Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner, speaking on RTL radio, called for "more effective sanctions" against Iran if it continues to resist the demands to suspend uranium enrichment.
I can think of some more effective sanctions. Destroy their one oil refinery. Hey sheetheads, run your cars on sand. BWAHAHAHAHA! Maybe your moon god Allan can help you refine oil without a refinery.
"We will not accept that such a bomb is made. We must prepare ourselves for the worst," he said, specifying that could mean a war. He did not elaborate on what kind of preparations that would entail."We have decided, while negotiations are under way ... to prepare for eventual sanctions outside the United Nations, which would be European sanctions," he said.
Yeah! European sanctions = UN sanctions = useless.
Kouchner was not specific about what penalties Europe might impose, other than to say they could be "economic sanctions regarding financial movements.""Our German friends proposed this. We discussed it a few days ago," he said.
The Germans? Ve haf vays of dealing viz ze towelheads.
I cannot think of the French starting a war with Iran. Maybe they want us to do it. One thing about the French, we can count on them always being there when they need us.

Posted by: Denny on September 17, 2007 03:30 PMIt does have a nice ring to it.
Posted by: Bruce on September 17, 2007 04:20 PMWhen did the french find the balls to threaten sanctions?
Posted by: Deathknyte on September 17, 2007 08:20 PMmy initial thought here was: If the french are against you then who the hell could be for you?
Posted by: patrick on September 17, 2007 09:16 PMI wonder if his VATHER, was from der Vatherland?
if the french go to war we must return the past favors and stay out of it.let them go it alone
Posted by: travis on September 18, 2007 07:57 AMAwe come on guys. You know the only reason the French would go to war is so they'd have another opportunity to surrender.
Posted by: Dave Hughes on September 18, 2007 09:24 AMBruce, the theory behind the "moon god" bit is supposedly Allah isn't actually the same guy as Jehovah, but was an obscure moon deity that Mohammed elevated the worship of, and then claimed was Jehovah after the fact to dissemble toward Christians, or something along those lines.
The French idea of sanctions would be to refuse the sale of white flags to that nation.

Where did you go? Are your blinders still on?
I'm here man. Always said that Iran was the real threat in that area. And that we would have to deal with it. We are here in Afghanistan, we'll be here in Iran. In last resort, our new president may be forced to send his wife to unlock the situation!

I agree with you ...Iran is the ultimate #1 enemy, we will get to them after we finish up in Iraq.It would be nice to see France step up to the plate as they did in Iraq war #1.
Posted by: dudley1 on September 21, 2007 08:32 AMAnd why not dud? We disagreed only on Iraq war #2...

The only reason your country was not along with us in Iraq2 is too many of your government & business officials were on the take from Saddam Huessin. It is a shame actually criminal that France a country with a long history of standing for freedom allowed money to influence the correct choice.
Maybe Sarkozy will straighten out the graft & corruption in your Government so a working relationship can be re-established.
