Guardian:

French forces opened fire Tuesday as protesters massed between the Ivory Coast president's home and an evacuation post for foreigners. A hospital reported seven people were killed and more than 200 wounded.

Earlier, at least four days of confrontations killed at least 20 other people, wounded 700, and shut down cocoa exports from the world's largest producer.<

1 Actually, France has had 4,000 troops stationed there since last year, so I'd hardly call that an invasion, especially since their initial deployment was to monitor the ceasefire between the rebels and government. You also conveniently left out the fact that 9 French troops and an American aid worker killed there by Ivory Coast mobs. So, you see, a completely different situation than the fiasco that is Iraq. Man, you're really dying on the vine, Rusty!

2 Actually, the US had 20,000 troops stationed around Iraq since 1991, so I'd hardly call that an invasion, especially since their initial deployment was to roll back the aggression of Saddam Hussein You also conveniently left out the fact that Iraq had been firing at US planes since the signing of the cease-fire agreement. So, you see, the situation in Iraq was very similar to that of the Ivory Coast. Man, you're really dying on the vine, Venom. PS-again, if the war in Iraq is wrong because it's 'illegal' why is this not wrong??

3 Venom calls bombing the airport monitoring the cease fire. The UN has condemned the French actions. Over fifty innocent machete weilding citizens have been killed. They must have been lost when found inside someone elses home. Go Frogs go. Murder the innocents. More blood for cocoa. Send in more troops. They have no guns, no mortars, no machine guns, no artillery, no rocket propelled grenades. Nothing but sticks and machetes. You can win this one. Go frogs go. Loving it. By the way, don't attack the rebels. They have guns.

4 VENOM: Get your shit straight. The 10 people killed were killed by accident by the Ivory Coast Air Force during an attack on the rebels. So the French destroyed the Air Force. Namely, 3 helicopters, and 2 Russian made attack fighters. So all things equal. If a country at civil war with itself kills US Citizens hanging around with one side or the other, then the US has the right to destroy their airforce and bomb their airports.

5 "Actually, the US had 20,000 troops stationed around Iraq since 1991, so I'd hardly call that an invasion, especially since their initial deployment was to roll back the aggression of Saddam Hussein" No one is calling the 20,000 troops stationed "around" Iraq since 1991 an invasion. We're talking current events - the US invasion of Iraq now, versus the French monitoring of a cease-fire. Thanks for trying, Rusty. "You also conveniently left out the fact that Iraq had been firing at US planes since the signing of the cease-fire agreement." I also left out that said US planes were bombing Iraq since the "cease-fire agreement." "So, you see, the situation in Iraq was very similar to that of the Ivory Coast." How so? Was Iraq a former colony of the US, and did the US feel the need to be the protectorate of said colony? Oh wait, I know where the similarities are: the US wanted to secure Iraq's major resource, oil, and the French wanted to secure the Ivory Coast's major resource, cocoa. Is this what you were getting at? "Man, you're really dying on the vine, Venom." Imitation is the sincerest form of flatery... "PS-again, if the war in Iraq is wrong because it's 'illegal' why is this not wrong??" This may be wrong and illegal, too. I never said it wasn't. But there are thousands of French nationals still in the Ivory Coast, and one reason for deploying more troops would be to protect them (not unlike when the Marines were sent to protect American nationals in Liberia several years ago). I was commenting on your "article" that tried to create a parallel with the Iraqi conflict by using the same arguments anti-war protesters use.

21 Wekno, I hope you're feeling better now that you've empty your brain full of crapy ideas and shit theories. For your info I am 100% french and no italian blood. Which doesn't mean that I don't like the italians, I have a lot of repsect for this people. How can you call my people arrogants when you say you come every now and then. I wish one day you have the balls to say it right in the face of a French and he makes you eat your own little balls. I said little cause you've emptied all its content in your mum's asshole. But unfortunately you'll never have the balls 'cause your a coward. Nothing belongs to you and nothing ever will.

24 Yes we know the French like the Italians. That Catherine was realy quite a swinger. Also like the Italians,French tanks have one gear position for forward and four for reverse.Funny but true.Check out the history,its all there on the internet.Wouldnt cost you one sous. Lets face it,your country is not up to fighting full stop.You and De Gaul's cronies and their patronising arrogance, were seen off by guys with nothing more than sticks and spades in Indo China.By the time we came to sort the mess out they were already armed up to the teeth largely because you French surrrender monkeys couldnt get out quick enough once you knew they were not going to be a push over,like they were before they got wind of France's humilliating defeat at the hands of the Germans,your long distance cousins from the days of the Land of The Franks under Charlemagne. You left enough ammunition for the cong to keep fighting for 30 years,goddamned surrender Monkies!You cant argue with that one federico, piss in your beerio,you French are just that,surrender Monkies, am I right,yes of course I'm right thats whats got you so pissed! Dont talk to me about If I had the balls to speak to a Frenchman about my views. What would be the point,its obvious you guys just cant take the truth.Now if every argument has to descend into a brawl whats the sense in that.The whole idea of being civil is not losing your rag.Your not supposed to beat the guy up whos trying to beg to differ from you. Your colonial days are over, were the rulers now,so get used to it.Speaking of balls, to quote you,if you French fries had half the balls of the English in the second world war us yanks wouldnt have had to come and bail you all out, now would we!Think about that you idiot!Just say I hear what you are saying and I'm sorry but I do not agreee with you.Oh and you are Italian!All be it part French. Its nothing to be ashamed of you know.Get over it!You even make mistakes typing in English just as an Italian might often make in speaking English.If you need that explaining,let me know. I'l retype it verbatum so you can see how obvious it is.Arrividerchi Mama,Giovanni,chow bella,or whatever you want.Dickhead!

28 I'm feeling extremely good today. Us French people love the attention. Especially when it comes from two cunts like you. You guys have made my day. Let me do it in logical order. Wekno, that's a lot of assaults for one man with such a small pair of balls like you!!! We have a saying in my country "The less knowledge you have, the more you try to spread it". My friend wekno, this expression fits like a glove for you. You should probably dig a little deeper before you start talking about shit you obviously don't have a clue about. Wekno, this attack is personal, not an attack against US citizens in general. You know what, I still have a lot of respect for you my friend, and I even think I made a mistake assuming you didn't have big balls. I now think you do Yes, to be able to tell me that my english is shit is phenomenal... Someone who pretends he is going to France once per year and spent 6 months in Montpellier and tries to write 3 words in french and does a spelling mistake in each and everyone of them,needs to have big balls!!! Yes very big balls. Or, wait a sec! Big balls or be completely dumb, have an IQ close to the one of a washing machine. Oh damn it wekno, you're getting me confused again. Are you completely dumb, or have huge balls? Ok, enough for you my friend... Now karl's turn. You pommie piece of shit. You ugly red and purple skinned animal. Wekno's attack was personal, but in your case Karl, it is an attack to all the pommie motherfuckers. God I hate you ugly bastards. First of all because you are extremely ugly. Anyone who has seen a pommie under the sun for more than five minutes cannot forget this experience. You know how we call you in France? We call you the roastbeef. Yes because you look like a roastbeef. Clever, innit? Karl, I know that you dumb fucks pommies sons of bitches love soccer! Innit? Who is ruling the premier league? If I tell you Henry, Pires, Vieira, Wenger... does that make you sweat. Don't overheat karlito, you'll change colour again. Ok, I got Overexcited! I'll give you a summary on why french people hate pommies. Youa re ugly, very ugly, you don't have style, you stink, your women are sluts (I fucked 5 of them in a week of a business trip in pommie land, and they LOVED my french cock), your food is disgusting. Your weather is horrible, your political system is the dodgiest, your queen smeels like cabbage... Too much comes through my mind. I have to stop here. Guys, have fun.

33 I sincerely doubt that a British lady would stoop low enough to ball a frog. However, My uncle who was in Frog land during WW2 says he didn't ball any French women because they gave it up to the Nazis the day after the Nazis arrived. Vichy, assholes.

Posted by: greyrooster at November 12, 2004 11:49 AM (mckZv)

34 FRENCH FROGS THANKED U.S FORCES PERSONNEL FOR LIBERATING THEIR COUNTRY FROM THE 'KRAUTS' A.K.A (GERMANS) BY GIVING MANY OF US WARTS ON OUR ASSES! My uncle too.Matter of fact,they had been warned not to have any form of sexual relations with French women largely due to the fact that the 'Krauts' had more than likely been up that particular pass before them! So many German Stormtroopers had succumbed to the most terribly painful warts off of these French ladies,('me trying to be respectful here',wouldnt want to cause offence to federico or other French frogs) that scores of them were made guests of the U.S Army Medical Corps Field Hospital and immediately given a bed at their enemy treatment station. In accordance with the Geneva convention of course!One would be forgiven for wondering 'just actualy',who was the real enemy here,the French Dames or the Third Reich! Apparently the most noticeable effect of this painful debilitation was that when the krauts(Germans) were ordered to march by their American overloards,some of them did so as if they were desperately trying to hold on,for dear life,to a dime piece wedged between their ass cheeks! Now though it pains me to say it the US army medical corps sometimes let their humour get the better of them,but for the most part said nothing and just motioned ''said suffering German stormtrooper'' in the direction of their Medical Diagnosis Tent. Not to mention that when these ever so brave German stormtroopers'' were told that there was no known cure other than to cut off these anal warts using a scalpel, and without I might add the use of anaesthetic, as this was an area of the body that was at that time in-anaesthesable.On hearing this,not surprisingly many of these German Stormtrooper cowards asked to be shot! Fortunately for them,the good old U.S. of A did not grant them their wish though it is said many servicemen would have been glad to send them where they wanted to go, The Senior Medical Corps Registrar absolutely forbade this,not just because it was against the Geneva convention but,to quote him -('' If these Krauts were so inclined to wage war on the world in the first place they should at least be man enough to suffer a little discomfort dammit, god zooks,the Fuhrer must be turning in his grave!) Though something a kin to Durex was availabe then, the product was still in its infancy and often proved unreliable. These same French ladies have said in post war documentaries,obviously off camera, that they did not like this rubber protection as, to quote one French dames particularly vivid and imagineatively expressed thought provoking account;- (''you know the French woman always likes when she makes love to truly feel the man that is inside her, it is so importandt to us in our lovemaking''), I suppose by that she meant,The American Man Inside Her, naturaly! U.S. Medical reports from the time would also suggest that warnings fell on deaf ears. Countless American servicemen returned to the good old U.S. of A with a tad more than they left it with. So much so that it was oft said, '' mighten it be a good time to send the Statue of Liberty back''! The fact that these two coward nations are such firm bedfellows says it all to me. Both are now the most ardent surrender Monkeys. Largely due to fear of upsetting their respective Raghead population.Germany with a population of around 11 Million Ragheads shat its pants at the thought of supporting a war in Iraq. France shat its pants big time at the same suggestion because it has a Raghead population of 6 Million Ragheads.France was before the war not only shitting with fear but pissing too and not in the Germans beer,no the pissing was 'figuratively so', in that they were pissing us and the brits off by not supporting a ground invasion but full of shit cowards like fredericopissinyourbeerio were going out into the music shops buying this realy shit song called Pas D'Iraq,(Not Iraq), an anti war protest song that was n not surprisingly storming the pop charts in surrender Monkey Junkey land France.

Posted by: wekno at November 13, 2004 10:43 AM (LkVXq)

37 Karl: Agree with you there.My sentiments exactly.The French never ever did defend Paris. Just like the French ladies that opened up their legs to all and sundry the French so called Army D'Honneur let open the boulevards of Paris practicaly handing Paris to the Germans on a plate. It is actualy chronicled in a book called Nemesis, Hitler and The Third Reich, it states that on entering Paris German troops were presented with lemon juice and fresh baguette sandwiches by Parisien cafe owners and even the residents of Paris. A sort of surrender party get together know your enemy or know your French coward Surrender Monkey Junkey kinda thing going on I suppose,who knows. There are clear pictures of Germans in full uniform living it up at cafe tables sometimes with French Army Personnel or a Gendarme chatting beside them having coffee and cakes, laughing and joking for christsakes! Talk about gettng in bed with the enemy. Is not that that bothers me so much its just that so many Americans and Britains died defending these godaweful Surrender Monkeys. Parisians looked on amazed,the only German soldiers that they had seen up until that point had been in news reels,by all accounts they were amazed and the whole spectacle had an air of unreality about it.French troops that were still bearing arms would salute the German soldiers whenever they passed whatever the rank as he was superior,and would exchange Heil Hitler greetings. If this were not done the French troops would be stopped and reprimanded on the spot like little children in effect, (much like the none French speaking world views French Frog surrender Monkeys today,sort of petulant spoilt brat types), and reminded that dissobaying a direct order or instruction of the Third Reich was under German law an act that can be punishable by death.They would be reminded that since France had been incorporated into the ''Weimar Republik'' it was now accountable to German law and custom. Just imagine the scene at a Paris Cafe table back then ; ''yes mein commandanten, how may I help you, what would that be, free wine, as much as you want of course commandanten, or would commandanten prefer champagne, coffee perhaps, a little caviar? Of course I have a fresh street map of Paris for you here commandandten, perhaps commandanten would prefer to look at it later, oh and Heil Hitler commandanten, please excuse me. These spineless sons of Napoleon disgraced themselves in their grovelling to the German conquerers of their land. Hitler achieved in one day more than Bismark and his cronies achieved in the whole of the first world war.

46 The frenchy is on the right as usual. In WWII France split into 2, the pro-nazi Vichy France and the fre french Forces, those had almost as many military casualties as the US for comparison and took part in a lot of operations. France just had this mix, Italy went with the Nazis from the beginning, France almost had a civil war over it.

The benefits to the Fallujah offensive begin already. If the residents of Fallujah are so keenly aware of the inner workings of Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi' Al Qaeda in Iraq network, then why aren't we simply levelling the whole city? Winning the hearts and minds of a people begins with their own self aknowledgment that they have lost. It took a nuclear bomb to force the Japanese to admit to themselves that their resistance was futile, I'd say a few MOABs or maybe one of the new MOPs would do the job. Sierra Times:

Residents reported that a Saudi national known as Abu Waleed Saudi, a senior military aide to insurgent leader Abu Musab Zarqawi's, was killed in fighting west of Fallujah.

You know, I was mentally and emotionally prepared to lose this election, because in spite of the fact that I don't like Kerry very much I don't actually believe he's the incarnation of evil. Most of the people in the pro-war camp discussed this quite a bit, and although not everyone went along most of us did. Jeff Jarvis, at BuzzMachine, is probably a crossover figure, who happened to have voted for Kerry. There were even a few in the pro-war camp who did so as well. There really is a stigma that attaches to sore losers and that works against them in subsequent elections, and at the extreme threatens the peaceful transition of power at the heart of democracy. Indulging outrageous conspiracy theories is part of being a sore loser, that seductively leads to worse. There's a name for it: Political Paranoia. (I highly recommend this scholarly book, though the persons who probably most need to read it, never will.) more...

Running a site like this you might expect that I get a lot of hate mail...and you'd be right! What's so surprising is where the mail comes from. For instance, you might guess this next comment came from Egypt, Saudi Arabia, or maybe Pakistan. Nope, it just so happens that this reader comes from the land down under! As a matter of fact, I traced his IP address to Rockhampton, Queensland. So to any of my Aussie readers out there I'd give this word of warning: watch your backs!

YOu BASTARD Mother f***ers christians and jews U R GOING & KILLING INNOCENT PEOPLE IN MILLIONS WHAT IS THAT !!! JUST 1 OF YOUR MAN IS KILLED U R SO DEPRESSED. U FUNKING BASTARDS TIME WILL SHOW YOU WHO WILL WIN!!!. AND U WILL ALSO SEE WITH YOUR OWN EYES WHEN U DIE U UNBELIVERS!!!!!!

An Italian born aid worker named Andrea Cianferoni has been taken hostage in the Phillipines, probably by the Abu Sayyaf terrorist organization. The Abu Sayyaf jihadis are fighting for a seperate Islamic state in the Phillipines' southernmost islands. This is the same group that kidnapped American missionaries Martin and Gracia Burnham demanding millions of dollars in ransom. Martin Burnham was later killed by the terrorists during a rescue attempt. It looks like they are at it again:

An Italian aid worker was kidnapped in the Philippines early Tuesday by armed gunmen who demanded a ransom, Italian media reported here. The man was identified as Andrea Cianferoni, who works for Movimondo, an Italian non-government organization helping communities in conflict areas. Cianferone was kidnapped on the Philippines' main southern island of Mindanao, the center of a bloody Islamist separatist revolt.

Roberto Cianferoni, father of Andrea, the Florence-born agronomist kidnapped in the Philippines, attempted to call his son on the mobile. On the other end of the line, Roberto heard what were probably the voices of his son's kidnappers. A few moments later, however, the kidnappers hang up on him. The same happened the second time he tried to call.

Long-time readers know that I have been following the low-level war in South Ossetia between the proxy armies of Georgia and Russia. The potential for this to turn into a 'hot war' between the two nations is real. I missed this news over the weekend, but apparently 40 hostages were taken by villagers on both sides of the conflict. While the hostages have been freed, it should be noted that the standoff started during a cease-fire agreement between the two sides. Despite numerous such agreements, the fighting always seems to start again. Both sides have agreed to withdraw troops from the region by Nov. 20th, but it seems unlikely that the agreement will hold. Like all such conflicts, peace will only be achieved when one side or the other realizes that it cannot obtain it's goals. Cease-fires, withdrawals, and negotiations do not solve the underlying causes of the problems. more...

Deepikaglobal:

Car explodes in Moscow, one killed person and injuring another, Russian news agencies reported.

It was not immediately clear what caused the blast. A police spokesman declined to comment on the incident and local prosecutors were not immediately available.

Police across Russia are braced for attacks by Chechen separatists who have claimed responsibility for numerous acts of violence in recent years, including suicide bombings in Moscow and the seizure of a school in southern Russia in September, where more than 330 hostages died.

Missing crop duster causes TSA to raise terror alert. AVweb (via Robert Spencer):

"Although there is currently no indication that this has any connection to terrorist activity," the TSA said, "the theft is cause for concern. Past information indicates that members of al-Qa'ida may have planned -- or may still be planning -- to disperse biological or chemical agents from cropdusting aircraft."

TSA doesn't mention it, but fugitive Saudi pilot and suspected al Qaeda operative Adnan Shukrijumah remains the subject of an FBI manhunt along the U.S.-Mexico border and was reportedly tracked to Sonora, Mexico in August. Shukrijumah has been linked by federal authorities to Zacarias Moussaoui (who researched crop dusters), Jose Padilla and al Qaeda's alleged dirty bomb plot.

Arafat is said to be dead, again. You ever notice how the living dead never really die? Personally, I blame the worcester sauce. What will be Arafat's last words? That's easy. Via Jeff Quinton this news (or something like it) from Reuters:

Yasser Arafat may have only hours to live, a Palestinian source has said after Palestinian leaders discussed the president's health with doctors who are treating him at a French military hospital.

"They spent about one hour with the French doctors and heard a detailed report on his medical condition. He is not dead but we are counting the hours," the source said.

Palestinian President Yasser Arafat is dead, senior Palestinian political sources said on Tuesday.

The information from sources close to Arafat could not immediately be confirmed.

“He is dead,” one of the sources close to Arafat said in Paris, where Arafat has been lying in a coma at a French hospital. Officials in the West Bank said they had not been informed that Arafat was dead.

Back in 1996 I got a phone solicitation from the New York Times and on the spur of the moment decided it'd be a good idea to subscribe.  After about three weeks I noticed that I hadn't seen a paper, and wandered down to the front desk to see if someone might be leaving it in my box.  At the time I lived in a high rise just inside the beltway.  Well, it turned out that rather than deliver the paper to me, or even leave it for me at the desk, the Times delivery service was just driving up to the front of the building and dumping papers intended for the residents unceremoniously onto the sidewalk.

Victor Davis Hanson's latest:

The Democrats now lament that America would prefer to be "wrong" with George Bush than "right" with them. They will no doubt adduce a number of other paradoxes, excuses, and sorrows. But the fact is that the Left was united, well-funded, and ran the most vitriolic campaign in the Democratic party's history — and still lost, taking all branches of power with it. The New York Times and the major networks have undone their legacy of a half-century, and in the desire for cheap partisan advantage have ruined the reputations of anchormen, the very notion of fair front-page reporting, and, indeed, the useful concept itself of an exit poll. 60 Minutes, Nightline, ABC News — these are now seen by millions as mere highbrow versions of Fahrenheit 9/11.

A buddy of mine, who is also a lefty, has been trying to make sense of this report being pimped by Michael Moore and gang that Bush stole the election by sending super-secret hackers (I imagine Angelina Jolie) in through a backdoor left open by the Diebold Cororation. He's been bugging me to try to explain it. To be honest, every time I think of hackers my mind wanders to Angelina Jolie, which inevitably leads me to a Google Image Search.....Anyway where was I? Oh, yeah, how to respond? I'll let Frank J. do the talking, since I'm back doing a Google Image Search anyway:

Nuts. Plain nuts.

Complete Bilal Hussein Archives Here

Via Six Meat Buffet and Charles Johnson some interesting pics out of Fallujah. According to the Geneva Convention, soldiers caught wearing civilian clothing are not afforded protection and are thus subject to summary execution. I say we start with Bilal Hussein, the SOB working for the AP who is in Fallujah putting out enemy propaganda. If he's not already dead, that is. I give him 48 hours, tops. From the looks of it, he's hanging out in the exact areas that the 'shaping the battlefield' bombs are dropping. And now that the battle has begun in earnest, I expect to hear from journalistic rights groups complaining that we targetted him when the MOAB fell on his exact location (not that I have anything against targetting him. (PS-Is that MC Hammer and why is he wearing a mask?)

Yeah, but what about the hooker vote? (via QandO)

Question Three, which sought to ban prostitution in the rural county, was defeated by a two-to-one margin in Tuesday's election. In 1974, county voters supported letting two brothels operate outside Fallon.

George Flint of the Nevada Brothel Association says the vote stunned him and he's never been so surprised in his life. Alan Perazzo of the Coalition to End Prostitution in Churchill County says he's also shocked that two-thirds of county voters rejected the measure.

The county is a Republican stronghold that gave overwhelming support to President Bush. Fallon, a ranching and military community, is 60 miles east of Reno.

Flint says he now thinks the shuttered Salt Wells Villa brothel 15 miles east of Fallon eventually will reopen.

The Crack Young Staff over at the Hatemonger's Quarterly have named my little pet Jawa Report the fifth best blog out there. Am I grateful? Hell no! Fifth place? Fifth!! Was Clubber Lang satisfied being the fifth best boxer? Was Mary Ann satisfied with being the fifth hottest castaway? My new goal in life is to be #1 on The Crack Young Staff's list. I'm gunning for you Gordon, Steve/Robo, Seldom, and Armavirumque. I will be number one! Eye of the tiger, man. Eye of the tiger.

Q:What's wrong with this quote (via Paul at Wizbang)?

From early afternoon to very late in the evening, those who checked in with the leading political blogs like Drudge, Wonkette, Andrew Sullivan, evote, mydd.com, Daily Kos, and others were given the distinct impression that John Kerry would win the election.

On top of that doesn't this reveal something even bigger? When the folks over at CBS want to check on 'leading political blogs' who do they go to? With the exception of Drudge, who isn't even a blogger, all of these sites are lefty sites!!! Ok, so maybe AS isn't 'lefty' so much as he's a partisan hack single issue voter who pretends he's neutral but would back Hitler so long as he was for gay marriage. Oh, I'm sorry, no bias over at CBS. Nothing to see here folks, nothing at all.

It's no wonder that CBS doesn't seem to get the whole Rathergate thing. To them, they didn't 'get their asses handed to them by the blogosphere' as Kate opines. They don't read the blogosphere, they don't get it, and when they do read the blogosphere it's a bunch of gossips (Wonkette) or leftists (Kos) so far out to the left that they feel perfectly centrist. What Rodney Dangerfield (RIP) line from Back to School? "If you want to feel thinner, hang out with a bunch of fat people"? Note to Bill--aint no way no one is going to get fired at CBS. Why should they? A simple retraction ought to be enough (when forced, oh and after the election).

Robert puts words to my thoughts exactly: When Toto pees on your foot, Eric, don't say we didn't warn you.

PS-Via Evil Glenn this WSJ piece which is good. I still say my explanation is the best among all the plausible ones I've heard. Oh, and I missed this earlier from Joyner, "Just think how messy it'd be if they weren't so professional? "
