USMCBillsFan Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 After he beat the American on a questionable call to advance to the gold medal round he acted like he was shooting him with his sabre. What an idiot. Talk about poor sportsmanship and in reality, when was the last time anyone French picked up a rifle or gun and shoot at anyone??

stuckincincy Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 "France has neither winter nor summer nor morals. Apart from these drawbacks it is a fine country. France has usually been governed by prostitutes." ˜Mark Twain "I would rather have a German division in front of me than a French one behind me." ˜General George S. Patton "Going to war without France is like going deer hunting without your accordion." ˜Norman Schwartzkopf "We can stand here like the French, or we can do something about it." ˜Marge Simpson "As far as I'm concerned, war always means failure." ˜Jacques Chirac, President of France "As far as France is concerned, you're right." ˜Rush Limbaugh "The only time France wants us to go to war is when the German Army is sitting in Paris sipping coffee." ˜Regis Philbin "You know, the French remind me a little bit of an aging actress of the 1940s who was still trying to dine out on her looks but doesn't have the face for it." ˜John McCain, U.S. Senator from Arizona "They've taken their own precautions against Al Qaeda. To prepare for an attack, each Frenchman is urged to keep duct tape, a white flag, and a three-day supply of mistresses in the house." ˜Argus Hamilton "The only way the French are going in is if we tell them we found truffles in Iraq." ˜Dennis Miller "I would call the French scumbags, but that, of course, would be a disservice to bags filled with scum. I say we invade Iraq, then invade Chirac." ˜Dennis Miller "You know why the French don't want to bomb Saddam Hussein? Because he hates America, he loves mistresses and wears a beret. He IS French, people." ˜Conan O'Brien "I don't know why people are surprised that France won't help us get Saddam out of Iraq. After all, France wouldn't help us get the Germans out of France!" ˜Jay Leno "The last time the French asked for 'more proof,' it came marching into Paris under a German flag." ˜David Letterman How many Frenchmen does it take to change a light bulb? One. He holds the bulb and all of Europe revolves around him. An old saying: Raise your right hand if you like the French.... Raise both hands if you are French. Next time there's a war in Europe, the loser has to keep France. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
checkmate Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 Are we rewriting history? I thought France assisted in the Revolutionary War. We at least should recognize that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We at least should recognize that. 1246[/snapback] They certainly did. Also in the War of 1812. The help was useful, but not entirely altruistic - France was trying to thwart England, their long-time foe. Others also helped. IIRC, when General Pershing came to France in WW I, his comment was "Lafayette, We are here." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
