France Bombs African Country

NO BLOOD FOR OIL. CHIRAC LIED, KIDS DIED.  IMPEACH CHIRAC.  How will France ever be taken seriously again in the world community after this murderous attack to fatten the pockets of France's elite. 

I don't know the entire circumstance under these military actions, but the fact that this has been completely ignored by major news outlets is upsetting. If a US Soldier kicks a can in an Iraqis direction it makes world news.  The French bomb a city safely from 30,000 feet and not a word is said.  Double standard maybe?

Definite double standards.

However I wouldn't worry about an attack from the French, just prod them weith a sharp stick and they'll run away

leave the french alone.... they won the second world war

Very hyprocritical, i only skimmed the article, but it said that civilians were greatly affected - if this was the US i'm sure you'd be hearing about it.

on the other hand, at least SOMEONE is trying to do something about the crisis in Africa.

Looks like it is being reported to me.

Oh c'mon.? I was pointed to this article because of how rare it is.? Show me where it was getting mainstream attention.? I find one obscure article and you consider that being covered?? Sometimes I think you purposely take the opposite stance that someone labeled as "conservative" has.

Edit:  Just to make sure it hadn't changed, I went to CNN and Fox News and neither had this story on their front page, but some dead hikers made big news.

You are a complete hypocrite.

Mainstream attention huh? Perhaps your shithead president is getting more attention because of his Nazi styled invasion of another country on trumped up charges.

You seem to think America is getting picked on here? Is that your point? You guys always run to this pathetic stance when you need to muster up your base. The "attacks" on Christmas, the "bias" against America and the "liberal media." It's all a load of crap, trying to point the finger out so you don't have to own up to the hundreds of thousands of women and kids you put in the George Bush meat grinder you fuckin' Nazi.

Tsk Tsk.? You have once again resorted to name calling because your argument lacks any merit.? I also think you violated some of the rules on the board.? Just admit you were wrong about this story being covered and we can move on.?

Edit:  SLC, that is a strawman argument you posted.  Just wanted to let you know for those keeping score at home.

I called you out for what you are: A Bush Stooge who condones a Nazi styled invasion of a nation that was no threat to us. Who desperately posts these articles to try and take the light off your failed leaders actions in the middle east. It's pathetic.

I made my point just fine. You call people assholes and other names all day long, but you don't see me go out of my way to point it out, or run and tell the mods.  Since I'm sure you will tell on my "naughty" post, I'll just go for the gold and tell you to go fuck yourself you stupid cocksucker.

Actually no it is not. I am pointing out what you say, the false arguments you use and telling you that you are an asshole.

I don't need telling on - those are the two most obvious smites i've seen all year. ?I don't see what your problem with rational debate is but you obviously have one so SMITE and SMITE.


On topic:

France's actions don't excuse Bush's by any means - it just show the French Government up as being a bunch of hypocrites. ?This is definately worthy of more media attention.

I made my point and insulted him. Too bad, the guys a first rate jerk.

Actually fuck it - this thread's political and will only get worse. ?Sorry Randall - I thought it was a good thread.
