French carrier battle group heads for Gulf.

[Lancer]

Are they lost? Are they going to attack the US navy? Are they like lost mules following the horses? What do they think they are doing?

If they are going to help then that's really bad as the carrier is the famed Charles de Gaulle, which during its time has done everything but sink or get captured by the British, the traditional destiny of French naval vessels.

Anyway, this is a sure sign that the posturing is just about over and the French are going to timidly join the posse led by us "American cowboys".

I wonder if they will leave their German butt buddies swinging in the wind?

Nice troll, for as long as it may last. (If Ming calls it, it's his.)

I vote "they're lost".

Of course we'll do. Did you imagine our leaders are trustworthy ?

Oh, the entertainment value that would proceed from that.

If only...

Nah, I think Powell and de Villepin came to an agreement faster than we thought. I wonder what the agreement is : imagine a thing which allows both countries not to lose their face (Germany being completely ridiculed in the end)

Maybe they're going to invade Egypt again.

They're just delivering a lot of Croissants...

Why would we have our carrier in the Gulf than ?
Nevermind, I just remembered how sucky our strategists are

When they get a taste of that nasty middle eastern goat cheese there will be mutiny.

It's just that if they're in the gulf the Egyptians will have a hard time sinking them.

Some Frenchmen drink this thing too. Don't forget how Arab loving we are

MtG, thanks for the pass guy.

Didn't the French just trade an african democracy for a cocoa crop? Is that the Ivory Coast? I think the carrier battle group is heading first to the Ivory Coast.

I guess I better try a link.

All I did was change the title...

I am seriously tripping out on this? Is it true that they are heading to the gulf? What kind of deal could they have made?
