Note to Dem 9: Even the FRENCH Think A Pullout Now is a Bad Idea
A U.S. pullout from Iraq would be "catastrophic," French Foreign Minister Dominique de Villepin said Thursday, urging countries to take a strong united stance to stabilize Iraq.

When asked whether he could envision the United States pulling out of Iraq, de Villepin responded: "Obviously, a pullout from Iraq today would be catastrophic and would absolutely not correspond to the demands of the situation."
He also said he and fellow foreign ministers favour a rapid transfer of power to the Iraqis. "We must . . . define an approach that will truly allow the Iraqis to take their destiny in hand."

Matt's Chat
Frenchie, there already is an approach that will give the Iraqis their destiny. It has been outlined many times before, but I'll help you out with this international "crisis." First, order must be restored. Second, Iraqis must develop a consititution. And third, the Iraqis must hold elections. That's it. That is the master plan. This is the only way to transfer full power back to the Iraqis. France has done enough; had France not sold missiles to Iraq in violation of UN sanctions, we might be done by now.
Mark's Remarks
See, France wants us to keep peace, as long as they do not have to do any work, then they will run in and pat themselves and the UN on the back for doing nothing but the standard French routine...Turn tail and run!!! It has been shown time and again, that we do have a plan, there is a timetable...Maybe instead of being so unwilling to help, if they really want to speed Iraq's self government, maybe they could send troops to help and help in the rebuilding..NO, we can't do that...we are the liberal french....We have no clue, and we hate anyone who thinks they can do something we cannot think of.....And, you nasty Americans took away a big buyer of our weapons....Oooops...was that out loud?
