The French inform us that if we invade Iraq, we'll have to do it on our own.
Well, boo hoo.
[handwringing=on]
However will we achieve any of our war aims without the French?

If things don't go well, and we have to surrender, we'll be sure to give you a call for pointers. Wouldn't want to go in without the best in the world behind us.

I know it's not nice, but isn't it so satisfying to razz those pathetic ingrates? Too bad I won't be alive to see their only red-blooded citizens turn Notre Dame into a mosque.

When we turn around to retreat, we'll find the French in front of us.

Which reminds me of the old joke:
Did you hear the French designed a new tank?
It has twelve gears in reverse, one in forward in case attacked from behind.

Tanks hell, look at how quickly French aircraft carrier screw propeller manufacturers get files fires when their products shatter in service.
They of course there was the fact that their carrier's flight deck was a few meters short for their American built E-2C Hawkeyes to operate from.
