The French government announced yesterday that it has raised its
terror alert level from "Run" to "Hide." The only two higher levels
in France are "Surrender" and "Collaborate." The rise was
precipitated by a recent fire that destroyed France's white flag
factory, effectively paralysing the country's military capability.

Bull****. They did make an attempt and they did ask for help, which
was no
t
forthcoming, from the Brits, who made a halfhearted effort, and from
the US, who sold them some equipment. Not to say there weren't some
who welcomed the Germans....

And it turns out they were right about Iraq... Of course, my magic
eight ball had a better chance of getting it right that that twit in
the white house..


Not only that, they're keeping MX with no cost to the US. Give them
some thanks!

Exaclty!

I'm there all the time and while they can be a bit standoffish, I've never
