Is France luring Iraqi mafia into a trap?

Speculation is rampant right now that senior Iraqi leaders who escaped into Syria are now busily arranging visas to get into France.

Perhaps Chirac, Villepin & Co. realized that one dramatic way they might be able to rescue France's reputation would be to lure the escaping Tikrit mafia into France, then turn them over to -- Kofi Annan?

Nah, they'll establish a government-in-exile and for the next forty years prattle about what great men they were in the old days.

Fuck France, Fuck Syria and fuck Iran.

The only reason why there are so many Muslims ready to fight and pest the US is because we have not played cowboys and Muslims yet!

For years the Muslim world has become rich on US generosity. For years we have helped many and now the time is right for a big change. Clinton tried to play the good cop role, concessions everywhere he turned. This got us no where fast. When Israel gave Lebanon the Golan Highs back, Arafat and the like did not see this a s a road to peace, but weakness and kicked off the Intifadah! There is only one thing the world understands, BOOM!

Although I really don't care for Bush, more power to him. The more he pisses off my lefty - peacenic friends the more I like him!

Go get 'em George!

Great Site!
