Viva la France!

The President of France continues to do and say things that American Democrats won't...which speaks volumes about both. It used to be that the Marxists in the French Government outnumbered those in the American Government; that is no longer the case:

I thought Bush ruined America’s relations with all our allies.

Let’s see, France elected L’Americain as its president in June and now that president is talking about adding more troops to fight in Afghanistan.

While he is in Afghanistan.

Said Nicolas Sarkozy: “There is a war going on here, a war against terrorism, against fanaticism that we cannot and will not lose.”

I would love to hear a Democratic candidate for president of the United States say that.

By the way, both the Dutch and the Canadians (who finally elected a conservative as prime minister) have re-upped for tours of Afghanistan through 2010.

Oh and one more thing about timelines. Sarkozy said: “What is certain is that we have not wanted to give the signal of departure, that would have been a despicable signal at a time when one sees the ravages inflicted by terrorism in the world.”
