"Going to war without France is like going deer hunting without your accordion."
- Donald Rumsfeld (Repeated quote of Ross Perot quote during the first gulf war.)

If you want to get France involved in a war with Iraq, you must first convince them that Saddam is hiding fields of truffles.
- Comedian on the Tonight Show

Jay Leno says it's no surprise the French won't help us get Saddam Hussein out of Iraq. They didn't help us get Germany out of France, either. Still, it's essential for them to join us in the war against Iraq. They can teach the Iraqis how to surrender.

In a rare show of bravery, a French soldier answered an order from his commanding officer and ran out on to the field of battle in the line of fire to retrieve a dispatch case from a dead soldier and dashed back to his HQ.
The officer said: I'm recommending you for a medal for risking your life to save the details of the locations of our secret warehouses.
Warehouses? said the soldier. Sacre bleu! I thought you said whorehouses.

Jay Leno, a few summers ago:
"France is now being hit by an extreme heat-wave, so the French government is advising its citizens to "stay indoors and do nothing".
You know, like they did in WWII...."

In 1966 upon being told that Charles DeGaulle had taken France out of NATO and that all U.S. Troops must be evacuated off of French soil President Lyndon Johnson told Secretary of State Dean Rusk:
Ask him about the cemeteries Dean!
So at end of the meeting Dean did ask DeGaulle if his order to remove all U.S. troops from French soil also included the 60,000+ soldier buried in France from World War I and World War II.
DeGaulle never answered.

Something to ponder:
You are the President of the United States. Scientists have discovered a meteor that is headed towards the earth. They have calculated that it will strike France in 2 days, at approximately 2:30 A.M. The meteor is large enough to completely wipe France from the face of the earth forever.
France and the United Nations have requested that the United States send all available ships and aircraft to help evacuate the country. Among the ships and planes you could be sending are many that are being used to fight the war on terror overseas.
As the President, you must decide:
Do you stay up late on the night of the impact to watch the coverage live, or tape it and watch it in the morning?
*******************
Come on now. Give the French a break. After all they did win the French Revolutionary War… but then again they were fighting the French.
