Isn't it odd that even as the French return to Earth orbit in their geopolitical approach and seek to once again work as an ally of the United States, our own Democratic Party gets ever more . . . what's French for "moonbatty," anyway? CBC News reports:
U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner spoke Friday of a common front against Iran's nuclear program that included support for new sanctions against Tehran.During a joint press conference with Kouchner in Washington, Rice said the United States and France agree on how to pressure Iran to abandon its nuclear ambitions.
"I think that there's, essentially, no difference in the way that we see the situation in Iran and what the international community must do," Rice told reporters.

Since our leftists are slaves to Euro-trends, no doubt they will be popping the Dom Pérignon and lifting a glass to President Bush by late next year (they are notoriously slow on the uptake, of course).

I thought our reputation around the world was was so soiled, our allies had abandoned us?
That was the meme from the left wasn't it? Didn't the French PM say something to the effect of a nuclear Iran is worthy of the western world carpet bom.... I mean, storing our armaments in that country?

Chris G ~ Interesting that the Germans AND the French tossed the governments which had opposed the Bush Doctrine. Schroeder is now an official Butt-Boy for Vladimir Putin, while Chirac is hoping the immunity laws he rammed through will keep him out of prison.
The Belgians . . . well, I don't know what they are doing. Does anyone care?

I haven't bought a French wine nor had a Grand Marnier sipper in nigh on six years; two things I have really missed. Maybe it's time.

I wonder if the Amsterdam closings came due to the complaints by representatives of Amsterdam's Islamic community?
