i’ve found this.
No doubt it’ll cheer you up.
I’ve seen this attributed to Donald Rumsfeld, Norman Schwartzkopf, and “a highly placed defense official”, but whoever said it, I agree…
"Going to war without France is like going deer hunting without your accordion."
They’ve just never seen me call in an elk with an accordian. 
And no doubt you’ll find yourself less cheery when you realize I’ve moved this to the Pit with the rest of the stupid French-bashing.
That’s dumb.
So I guess the French opposed us when we went against the Taliban in Afghanistan? Is that what this is supposed to parody? I don’t remember them having a problem with that operation.
Surely the creator of that pic isn’t linking the war with Iraq to 9/11, for which there isn’t a shred of evidence?
Unbelievably so. This kind of mindless tripe does a great disservice to critical thinking. Buncha crap.
This elf like France (well, most of the time).
France gave us fine wine, fine cuisine, lots of help during the Revolutionary War, the Tour de France and the Statue of Liberty. And easy to make fun of snooty waiters and poofy dogs- comic gold baby.
So what if they don’t support our little war. We really didn’t support them on Algeria. And the Germans, Russians and Saudis all are bad mouthing us too-- so where’s the hate for them?
:dubious:
Jed Babbin said it, not Schwartzkopf or Rumsfeld.
Ha ha! The deaths of hundreds and the destruction of an international monument sure is funny, because they’re French, and the French suck, so it’s okay to laugh at them dying horribly!
Not at all like the Palestinians dancing in the streets after nine-eleven. Nosirree.
:wally
Sir, apparently you’re living in the mirror-mirror universe where this event did indeed take place.
It’s humor, tasteless or otherwise, not fact.
No reasonable person wishes physical harm on the French. Lord knows they have inflicted enough embarassment on themselves.
Fuck you for assuming that would cheer anybody up.
:rolleyes: [sup]ASS![/sup]
That’s one of the crappiest Photoshoppings I’ve ever seen.
Yeah, I heard they like Jerry Lewis…
And they folded faster than Superman on laundry day when faced with the German military machine.
You know,I rarely use this kind of language,but I think it’s fitting now.
FUCK YOU ** elfje **
This country is made of many different cultures,and I personally feel that you are as UNpatriotic as they come. HOW DARE YOU?!!! How dare you spread such hate and intolerance? WHAT THE FUCK is the deal with this crap? They disagree,so what? They have that right. (The Constitution protects such things you know.)
Is it that you are so hugely arrogant,that you think that these (the rights the Constitution outlines) are things that should only be protected within this country,and only for it’s citizens? (All those who have engaged in French bashing,etc.)
I remember the horror,and the sadness of September 11,and would not wish that on anyone else. This is beyond the pale. I cannot believe that you are human,because you find such a thing entertaining enough to post.
I thought I had gotten a good point across here: http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=169419
Guess I was wrong. (Apologies for resurrecting that offal,I felt it was needful.)
In any case,to put it as my grandfather would have. ** elfje ** You aren’t fit for company. Get out of my sight!!!
Gee whiz Wally I never heard that one before. :rolleyes:
Go read an old French bashing thread to get your fucking schoolgirl giggles reading stale cliches, and stop wasting hamsters with piece of shit non-threads like this one.
I didn’t hate France before I clicked on the OP’s link. I don’t hate France after clicking on the OP’s link.
Linking to a photo that depicts the Eiffel Tower being hit by the Concorde, ala 9/11, is in poor taste. IMHO.
Goddamnit… I must have slept in the day Iraq crashed a plane into one of our buildings. 
How was the coverage?
