House restaurants change name for 'french fries' and 'french toast' This is absurdity in its finest incarnation. "This action today is a small, but symbolic effort to show the strong displeasure of many on Capitol Hill with the actions of our so-called ally, France," said Rep. Bob Ney, R-Ohio, the chairman of the Committee on House Administration. "I represent a district with multiple military bases that have deployed thousands of troops," Walter Jones, R-North Carolina said in a statement. "As I've watched these men and women wave good-bye to their loved ones, I am reminded of the deep love they have for the freedom of this nation and their desire to fight for the freedom of those who are oppressed overseas," Jones said in a statement. "Watching France's self -serving politics of passive aggression in this effort has discouraged me more than I can say." What I love is his use of the term "passive aggression" which has to be used because France is doing nothing more than excersizing the power to act in its own best interest. The last time I checked the United Nations Charter didn't have a disclaimer saying that all nations had to do what the US thought was best. Pres. Bush has sent troops to the border without the consent of the rest of the rest of teh world. Whose fault is it that "these men and women wave good-bye to their loved ones"? I know the answer, its Bush. He and the Pentagon get to raise the order to move soldiers. Its not Frances fault that we have already sent troops for a mission that might not take place. So France is "self serving"? Last time I checked so are we. Are we not going to invade Iraq because we want to get rid of him to protect ourselves? Is that not self serving. We expect others to act in ways that we ourselves will not? That is hypocrisy. The people of Ohio and North Carolina need to know about this. | |
