America's Greatest Ally

[OneFootInTheGrave]

Does this mean that French Fries have now officially replaced Freedom Fries in the White House canteen?

I for one welcome our new French Amerigimps. It's about time someone else took the job.

this is a good answer, but it won't last long unless Sarkozy starts sucking up to Obama like Blair did to Bush, and small chances for that one.

Our tabloids are embarrassing, I cringe any time I see a link to one.

That was the most civil one I could find.

At least we don't have Berlusconi, who just thinks Obama is "tanned"

Australia is our most faithful ally post-WWII. They even followed us into Vietnam.

Ally does not blind sheep make.

Unselfish, brave Canadians boys, no MEN are dying in that ****hole of the world.
I don't remember any planes hitting anything in Canada.
Wanna talk **** about Canada?
Wise up.
Only sheep think different.


154 Canadian Forces personnel have been killed

IIRC one of the biggest dangers to Canadian forces in Afghanistan was being shot at and killed by the dumbass trigger-happy yanks...

Yeah, it would be nice if our country didn't have to act all eager to bend over and take it up the ****ter from the US on a regular basis...

"no country has closer ties"

Does not mean

"no country has ties as close"

You meet a foreign leader, you say nice things about them, their country and how good your relationship is, it's how diplomacy works. Plus the American relationship was massively damaged by Bush, so is in need of attention. This is a good, well judged statement that will possibly help (and definitely not hinder) American interests when dealing with international issues that the French have views on in the future.

Smart diplomatic move from Obama.

Typical anti-French xenophobic reaction from our tabloids.

Generally a big fuss about nothing IMO.

It's sad you actually had to spell this out.

A friend bails you out of jail. A best friend gets locked up with you.

[dannubis]

no, a best friend makes sure you don't get into jail.

However, given the options presented above i'd rather prefer the first one.

6 friendly-fire deaths out of 154. As many as were killed in vehicle accidents.

It used to be said, "Horum omnium fortissimi sunt Belgae," but I guess times have changed.

[dannubis]

Why, because i find the usefullness of being in jail together rather limited ?

[dannubis]

and its "omnium gallorum, fortissimi sunt belgae"
