“I would rather have a German division in front of me than a French one behind me.” — General George S. Patton
What do you expect from a culture and a nation that exerted more of its national will fighting against Disney World and Big Macs than the Nazis?” — Dennis Miller
I was thinking the other day of the presidential debates, and how some of the democrats tend to focus on GW’s lack of coalition building, his lack of bringing the French and the Germans with him in Iraq. It’s at these times that I think of the above quotes, and well, laugh my fucking ass off.
I mean, who are they kidding? We have the most demoralizing, dominating military force in the history of the world. The french, on the other hand, have just the opposite. They are the masters of defeat; the New Paris Yankees of the World Surrending Series over the last 2000 years. I’m not saying I neccessarily agree with the US being in Iraq, I just want to make it clear that not having the French with us, in the words of Norman Swarzkopff, “like going hunting without your accordian.”
So, feel free to criticize Bush for going to Iraq, for tax cuts, big oil, etc. But for not having the french help us? Come on.
