RE: the implications

Comment comment by Occams on 10 May 2007

It was not a war of attrition like Vietnam because the outcome was decided in one battle. Sure, Spain and the Netherlands were there in small numbers, but like us, they had no impact in the decisive battle.

I suspect that the French would be speaking Russian now: not German. We might be also.

My point is that all that freedom fries nonsense was historically inaccurate as well as damn stupid.

I bet W now wishes he had listened to The French before committing us to Iraq.

RE: the implications by VnutZ :: NR8

I bet W now wishes he had listened to The French before committing us to Iraq.

The objections of France had less to do with an interest in peace and more to do with flat out bribery a la the Oil for Food Scandal.
