I'll give you one guess at WHO!
Oh, and about that war opposition: Prop 102: Iraq and Government Lies
"Sarkozy's visit heralds better US-French ties; Two countries work to mend fallout from war" by Deb Riechmann/Associated Press November 7, 2007
WASHINGTON - "Freedom fries" are so yesterday, replaced by lobster bisque and lamb at an elegant White House dinner last night as President Bush and President Nicolas Sarkozy of France officially opened a cozier chapter in US-French relations.
Yeah, the lies that got us into war are soooo forgotten!
The two countries back tough diplomacy to keep Iran from having nuclear weapons. They have jointly sponsored UN resolutions supporting Lebanese sovereignty. And while France fiercely opposed the war in Iraq, Sarkozy sent his foreign minister on a surprise three-day trek to Baghdad in August to enhance France's role in Iraq's future.
Even before he was elected in May, Sarkozy worked to mend relations with the United States:
Sarkozy, earlier in the day at a meeting of the French-American Business Council:
"I never quite understood why we had to fight with the United States. When we Europeans were faced with the worst atrocities of the 20th century, two abominable wars, your parents came to help us. I am here to tell you that the French people will never forget."
Sarkozy, an energetic 52-year-old conservative known in France as "Sarko the American," has wasted no time in his bid to modernize France, in part by trying to inject an American-style work ethic. As a sign of his pro-American tendencies, he took a summer vacation in the United States, causing a stir back home.
In August, he visited Lake Winnipesaukee in Wolfeboro, N.H. - about 50 miles from the Bush compound known as Walker's Point. Sarkozy stopped by the Bush family compound, which juts into the Atlantic, and the two leaders took a speed boat ride and had an American-style picnic of hot dogs, hamburgers, and baked beans.
Much time has passed since France's opposition to the US-led invasion of Iraq in 2003 provoked some Americans to rename French fries "freedom fries" or boycott French cheese and wine.
Yeah, we Amurns always get provoked. We never start nothing!
Sarkozy... also said France would stick to a tough line on preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons:
"I think we need to be firm. [Sanctions could be effective]."
They don't want weapons.
There will be no first lady accompanying the French President. He and his wife, Cecilia, announced their divorce Oct. 18, a first for a French head of state.
As the evening began, Bush smiled and waved at Sarkozy before he emerged from a black limousine that was adorned with tiny French and American flags. The two leaders, both dressed in tuxedoes, shook hands and briefly embraced.
Sarkozy kissed Laura Bush's hand, then both her cheeks. As the three walked into the White House on a red and gold carpet, Bush patted Sarkozy on the back.
Better watch it, George! Frenchie after your wife!
Bush began a toast to Sarkozy in the State Dining Room by saying "welcome to the White House" in French, then talked of working with France to help others around the world resist tyranny and oppression:
"French and American troops are helping defend a young democracy in Afghanistan. Our two nations support the democratic government in Lebanon. We agree that reconciliation and democracy in Iraq are vital to the future of the Middle East. And our two nations condemn violations of human rights in Darfur, in Burma, and around the world."
And Israel?
Sarkozy, who was seated next to Laura Bush, came to the White House alone.
In his toast, which was considerably longer than Bush's, Sarkozy... spoke with passion about freedom and liberty and the need for US-French cooperation in addressing terrorism, nuclear proliferation, poverty, and religious fanaticism:
"I've come to Washington to bear a very simple, straightforward message. . . . I wish to re-conquer the heart of America. I want to re-conquer the heart of America in a lasting fashion."
Conquer us? For WHO?
More than 100 guests were invited to the dinner of bisque, lamb, tomato fondue, ragout of green beans, sweet potato casserole, salad, and dessert.
Among the guests: Major League Baseball pitcher Tom Glavine of the New York Mets, Supreme Court Justice Stephen G. Breyer, French chef Guy Savoy, and a number of politicians from Louisiana.
Today, he plans to be with Bush on a tour of Mount Vernon, home of President Washington, and address a joint session of Congress."
"Sarkozy Throws Open His Arms to Bush, and U.S." By ELAINE SCIOLINO
WASHINGTON, Nov. 6 — France’s president, Nicolas Sarkozy, burst onto the Washington scene on Tuesday, clearly reveling in his first official visit to the White House and asking the United States to embrace him as a friend.
Sarkozy, in a toast at a formal White House dinner in his honor:
“I come to Washington to bear a very simple message, a message that I bear on behalf of all Frenchmen. I want to reconquer the heart of America.”
Earlier in the day Mr. Sarkozy, calling France’s opposition to the American-led war in Iraq “a disagreement,” told the French American Business Council: “I never quite understood why we had to fight with the United States. I never quite got it.”
He also distanced himself from the American presidential race, saying, “Regardless of who is president — male or female — we will work hand in hand together.”
Yeah, yeah, we know! Unless it's Ron Paul.
Mr. Sarkozy arrived in Washington without a spouse but with some of the women who reflect the diversity of his cabinet: Finance Minister Christine Lagarde, a former chairman of a Chicago-based law firm, Baker & McKenzie; Justice Minister Rachida Dati, who has a Moroccan father and an Algerian mother; and Rama Yade, his 31-year-old Senegalese-born subminister of foreign affairs and human rights, whom Mr. Sarkozy calls his “Condi Rice.”
Sounds like ole Nico has been fooling around, 'eh?
No wonder she left the creep!
At a reception at the French Embassy, he announced that he would take the women to the black-tie dinner in his honor at the White House, saying that they and the rest of his cabinet represent “a new France.”
On Wednesday, Mr. Sarkozy will address a joint meeting of Congress... before having lunch and holding a news conference with Mr. Bush... He will also meet with American Jewish leaders.
See that!?
“Sarko l’Américain,” as he is called, is considered the most pro-American French president in decades. The son of a Hungarian immigrant and a French-Greek woman whose father was Jewish, he unabashedly confesses his admiration for the United States, particularly its work ethic and popular culture.
The Zionist is blowing us. Why?
Keep reading and you will see Nico is LYING!
Mr. Sarkozy’s relationship with Mr. Bush is said to be warm, and his tough stance on Iran’s nuclear program — which envisions new punitive sanctions that will hurt French business interests — is welcomed by the White House.
Mr. Sarkozy has brought France closer to the position of the United States on dealing with Afghanistan, where France has troops; the Middle East, where he has called himself a friend of Israel; and Russia. The French leader also supports Washington’s position that the province of Kosovo will eventually become independent of Serbia.
An AIPAC/Clean Break/PNAC friend?
R. Nicholas Burns, under secretary of state for political affairs, said in a speech in Paris last week: “The tide has really turned in this relationship.”
But Mr. Bush is resigned to the fact that Mr. Sarkozy will do nothing to support the American war effort in Iraq. Mr. Sarkozy sidestepped a question at the business council meeting on an American troop withdrawal, saying:
“No one is saying that there should be an immediate, unconditional withdrawal. What we want is that as soon as possible, the Iraqi people can decide their future and secure their unity.”
French officials said that Iraq was not even on their agenda.
LIE!
Nor is France ready to rejoin the military wing of NATO after a four-decade break, despite Mr. Sarkozy’s flirtation with the idea. He has called the possible admission of Turkey into the European Union, which the Bush administration supports, “nonsensical,” saying that 98 percent of Turkey is in Asia Minor, not Europe.
Oh, yeah, he's a Zionist!
Mr. Sarkozy has also faulted the American health care system, which leaves many Americans uninsured, and the fact that much of America knows and cares little about the rest of the world.
WTF? I thought he "unabashedly confesses his admiration for the United States, particularly its work ethic and popular culture."
Now he insults us? French LIAR, 'eh?
He wrote in “Testimony,” his 2006 campaign book:
“If I was in love with the American model, I’d go and live there. This is not the case.”
Well, we don't want you here!
Go back to France and take your shilling for Zionism with you!
Since Mr. Sarkozy’s divorce from his wife, Cécilia, was announced Oct. 18, he has piled even more events onto his already frenetic schedule.
Fucking around, 'eh, Nico?! I mean, LITERALLY!
Cécilia Sarkozy said in interviews following their divorce that she wanted to retreat from the limelight and lead a tranquil life. That doesn’t seem to mean the absence of movement, however. The New York Post on Monday ran a photo of her and her daughter Jeanne-Marie leaving Orsay restaurant on the Upper East Side of Manhattan."
I'll bet she's as happy as hell she got herself and her daughter away from the asshole!
