Where do people get the idea that France is not an ally? Remember how both our countries saved France in WW2? Why would we do that for 'not an ally'?
What has fundamentally changed in the relationship between France and America since 1945?
Or is it the B/S about France 'betraying' America over Iraq when in fact all they did was stick to their own beliefs which were, after all, correct?
That much is obvious to me and I don't even like the arrogant sods.

The point is that France did not do anything against the US, Bush merely chose to portray it that way. If France refusing to take part in something they know is wrong means they can no longer be considered as allies then America has the foriegn policy of a spoilt brat.

You missed my point entirely, Bush never said that and never portrayed it that way. France didn't help out because of the oil-for-food scandal that invloved a number of nations (France, Germany, Russia, Iraq) and the UN, that's why they didn't get invloved.

The French ough to pull out of Afghanistan to return the "screw you."

Btw what were the Canadians and the French doing off the American coast anyway? Both Canada and France have their own coasts.
Mc Guire called up every neocon in Washington during those few minutes and took a vote to see if the French aircraft could land...

They landed safely, what more do they want? Perhaps they wanted us to take them to a Five star hotel and roll out the red carpet to them when they landed. They were denied access to a military bas because a civilian airport was close by, its that simple.
