Q: How do you the French army have trained Saddam's army?
A: Their surrender to US forces was so quick and organized. The French must have taught them that.

It seems like the French governement only opposes Operation Iraqi Freedom just because they want to be in oppositition to the US, to show its limited authority.

The French government's attitude towards world politics is sour: they want to crush the rebels in Ivory Coast, but don't support freeing the Iraqis from tyranny.

I believe there's more to it than that:

Poland calms waters with France over Iraq missile claims

WARSAW (AFP) Oct 04, 2003
Poland said Saturday a diplomatic incident sparked by an allegation that its troops in Iraq had found Franco-German missiles made this year, had been resolved, after receiving a strong rebuke from France.
Polish Prime Minister Leszek Miller told Polish television he had met French President Jacques Chirac during a summit of European leaders in Rome and that the matter was now closed.

"I met Mr Chirac twice during the intergovernmental conference," Miller said on the private TVN channel.

He said he had informed the French leader of a statement released earlier by Polish Defense Minister Jerzy Szmajdzinski deploring the allegation, and added: "We have recognised that the matter is closed."

Szmajdzinski said that he "deplored the indications concerning the date the missiles were produced," and promised an immediate and thorough investigation into the matter, but did not specifically deny the find.

"All information from the ministry spokesman concerning the seizure of Roland (short-range surface-to-air) missiles, as well as the information by the media relative to this affair were neither approved by the ministry nor by the chief-of-staff of the Polish military," he said in the statement.

The French president brushed off the allegation by the Polish defense ministry that a Polish patrol had found four Roland anti-aircraft missiles south of Baghdad, apparently manufactured this year.

"There cannot be any missiles there in 2003 because the missiles haven't been built for the past 15 years," Chirac said at an EU summit in Rome.

Chirac said Polish soldiers must "have been confused" about the find, which would have violated a UN weapons embargo against the former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein, and should have checked their find more carefully before making the allegations.

He had a "friendly but firm" talk with the Polish prime minister attending a summit in Rome of European leaders on the future EU constitution about the issue, he added.

Iraqi police notified the Polish troops of the missiles, and "on October 1, we seized four Roland missiles bearing French markings, made in 2003, in a house near Al-Hillah", south of Baghdad, defense ministry spokesman Eugeniusz Mleczak said earlier.

In Paris, the French foreign ministry also denied the allegations by the Polish defense ministry, saying they were based upon "erroneous information."

Paris had not "authorized the supply, including spare parts (of weapons material) to Iraq after July 1990," once international sanctions were slapped on Baghdad in response to its invasion of Kuwait, a spokesman said.

"France has applied a strict arms embargo since then," Herve Ladsous said in a statement.

While France, along with other western countries, had exported weapons to Iraq during the 1970s and 1980s -- including the Roland 1 and Roland 2 missiles and missile systems -- the Roland 3 was "never exported to Iraq."

He added that both Roland 2 and 3 missiles had respectively not been manufactured since 1988 and 1993.

France was strongly opposed to the US-led war in Iraq, while Poland supported the American and British campaign to oust president Saddam Hussein. Last month it took over the command of some 9,000 troops as part of a stabilisation force patrolling a large portion of central and southern Iraq.

The Roland air defense short-range missile system was produced by a Franco-German consortium known as Euromissile, based just outside Paris, according to French and German defense websites.

Euromissile was originally set up by Aerospatiale-Matra of France and DaimlerChrysler Aerospace of Germany, now a subsidiary of the European Aeronautic Defense and Space company, or EADS.


Is it just me - or does something smells here ?

[Seoulstriker]

wait, did the Polish soldiers find the Roland 3 missiles or not? If they did, but the France denies it sold them, then there probably is an under-the-table deal which is typical of how Iraq purchased its stuff (Oil-for-Weapons program in the UN (helped by Koffi Annan), other missile deals with France :P , etc).

Na those rockets were old(80's), just few speedes said that they were from 2003.

rofl Ah ces rikains !!!

Un ami a dit :
Le truc le plus énorme est la pseudo histoire militaire de la France. Apparement, l'auteur pense que la France se limite à 50 kms autour de la Tour Eiffel (cf Jeanne d'Arc et Napoléon, considérés comme pas Français).
Quand à la Guerre des Gaules, faudrait lui dire que les Gaulois (Celtes), sont autant leurs ancêtres que les "notres" (et encore, moi je suis presque pas concerné). Pour la guerre ce 100 ans, on a finalement mis quelques bonnes branlées aux Anglais à la fin (total, l'Angleterre se retrouve avec seulement Calais sur le continent). Je crois aussi qu'il a un peu trop regardé "The Patriot" de Gibson pour dire que les USA ont gagné leur indépendance tous seuls... Pour les guerres de Louis XIV et de Napoléon, je pense pas que face à des coalitions pareilles ils auraient fait mieux. Quand aux guerres post 1945, je pense pas qu'ils aient de leçon à nous donner.

Russia and Germany were against the war as well, why do you don't bash them?

If you want to liberate every country who is oppressed, then you have to fight many wars.

BTW: Bush said the war was because of the weapons of mass destruction. How many NBC-weapons did the American Troops found till now?

This is an English-speaking forum. Speak in English so everyone can understand you rather than speaking French. If you can't speak english well enough, throw your post into a translator so we at least can get a rough idea of what you're saying.

[21eRIMA]

@Ratamacue : Sorry !!
thx GAFE & PinkEye !!
Well, this is my turn : http://www.umoor.com/humour/americain/americains.humour.php3
And use a translator ! Thats just some jokes, and not politic idea !!

CEst bon, je sui amusse, notre dit la meme chose dans mexique de les americains.

Yeah kid, well, some of us can speak french and spanish, and you are right we should use english to express around here, there is a good translator on altavista.

"Why Should We Expect the French to Help Us Free Iraq From Saddam -

Jay Leno

Uh, they did! Every heard of the resistance, maquis, "Viva la France, Viva la Resitance!"? Underground resistance groups were fighting the Germans in France before the US even got involved in the war. Plus, there was the Free French Army based in England that went ashore on D-Day, and helped the US Army liberate Paris. How exactly were the French supposed to keep a standing army in France when it was completely occupied by the Germans anyway?

As much as like Jay Leno, some of his jokes are just plain stupid and ignorant.

And you americans, don't forget that the French weren't the only ones who opposed the war in Iraq and vetoed your UN Resolution, Germany and Russia did too!

[Vance]

Germans are afraid of war now (Or anything Imperialistic) and Russia has got it's hands full with Chechenya..

Germany is not afraid of war. They helped during the combat stages in Afghanistan. Just because France decided that they didn't want to go to war is no reason for the massive amount of anti-french insults out there because of it. Frach wasn't the only country that didn't want to get involved, yet they are the only ones being insulted on a mssive scale because of it. Just because another country doesn't agree with the American point of veiw doesn't mean it deserves this kind of treatment. This is a free world, they should have the freedom to choose what they get involved with without having to face this kind of treatment.

I think you people are too harsh on the french. What happended to the glorious days of Napoleon? When France single handedly conquered most of Europe?

And don't you forget that it was France who helped the US out in the war against the UK back in the 18th. Century :0

I think everyone owe France an apology >(
