Our Important Allies: French Seek Surrender-by-Proxy
Also via Instapundit, who has a really good line about the French, this article by
Belmont Club suggesting that the French are attempting to offer concessions to the terrorists to gain the freedom of the kidnapped Frenchmen.
It's pretty shadowy and vague as to what they're offering, exactly. It seems they're chiefly seeking to force us or Iraq itself to offer concessions. If so, this would represent a important new weapon in the French diplomatic arsenal, the surrender-by-proxy.
They're not merely cowards; they're passive-aggresive cowards. "I'm not saying you should surrender," they're cooing. "I'm just saying I'll be very disappointed if you don't, and I may begin withholding sex."
Again, if the French are appeasing these bastards and the Liberal Establishment Media ever deigns to reveal that to the public , John Forbes Kerry's talk of our "important allies" will seem even more ludicrous that it does now.
