"Bush, Sarkozy join forces against Iran" by Deb Reichman/Associated Press November 7, 2007
MOUNT VERNON, Va. - President Bush and French President Nicolas Sarkozy stood shoulder-to-shoulder against a nuclear-armed Iran on Wednesday.
Bush said their agreement on Iran was a hallmark of their talks here at the Virginia home of George Washington. He said they expressed "the desire to work jointly to convince the Iranian regime to give up their nuclear weapons ambitions for the sake of peace.''
They don't want nuclear weapons, liar!
Sarkozy: "It is unacceptable for Iran at any point to have a nuclear weapon. I believe even in the need to toughen [United Nations sanctions now leveled against Tehran for continuing to enrich uranium]."
Sarkozy emphasized that Iran should be allowed to have civilian nuclear power, which Tehran argues is the sole aim of its nuclear program:
"Iran is entitled to the energy of the future which is nuclear energy.''
Sarkozy made only a passing reference to a big difference for him, the issue of climate change. The French leader wants to make his country a vanguard of the movement against global warming.
Wants to be in the vanguard of the climate change movement, yet he's calling nuclear the power of the future?
Sarkozy said France also was concerned about the rising instability in Pakistan:
"Let me remind you that this is a country of 150 million inhabitants who happens to have nuclear weapons. It is very important for us that one day we shouldn't wake up with a government, an administration in Pakistan, which is in the hands of the extremists."
Sarkozy also received an award Wednesday from the American Jewish Committee as a tireless promoter of democratic values. In a speech there, he denounced anti-Semitism and racism as "beasts'' and said France would fight for Israel's security."
That explains this!
And how come my AmeriKan paper failed to report the meeting with the Zionists?
"Congress Warms to France’s New President" by ELAINE SCIOLINO
WASHINGTON, Nov. 7 — The United States Congress welcomed Nicolas Sarkozy, the French president, with loud cheers and standing ovations on Wednesday, a sign that France had been forgiven for opposing the American-led war in Iraq.
Except they didn't oppose: Prop 102: Iraq and Government Lies
In a speech to a joint meeting of Congress — a rare honor for a head of state — Mr. Sarkozy seemed to strike all the right notes. He spoke of his love of the American dream and cultural icons of the 20th century, from Elvis Presley to Ernest Hemingway. He expressed admiration for American values and for the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. He thanked the United States for saving France in two world wars, rebuilding Europe with the Marshall Plan and fighting Communism during the cold war.
When he called France “the friend of the United States of America,” the hall, packed with lawmakers, many of whom held France in disdain only a few years ago, burst into applause. When he said that a nuclear-armed Iran was “unacceptable,” they stood and applauded.
Our Congress firmly in the hands of AIPAC, I see!!
Yeah, and this Congress is going to stand up to Bush when he bombs, right!
They will be APPLAUDING HIM, even as America demands the mass-murdering war criminals impeachment!
Shit Congress!
President Bush also showered his French counterpart with praise at a joint news conference following a tour and lunch at Mount Vernon, the Virginia home of George Washington:
“It’s safe to say that you’ve impressed a lot of people here on your journey, [and are] the kind of fellow I like to deal with.”
The two presidents expressed their shared views on the need to curb Iran’s nuclear program and fight terrorism.... Mr. Bush even praised Mr. Sarkozy’s effort to break a political deadlock over coming elections in Lebanon by holding direct talks with Syria.
After he and Cheney shit all over Pelosi for talking to them? Pffffftttttt!!!!
While the Bush administration has isolated Syria, two senior French officials met last weekend in Damascus with Bashar al-Assad, Syria’s president, to warn him not to interfere in the elections.
Tell it to Israel, assholes!
Mr. Bush: “I have a partner in peace, somebody who has clear vision, basic values, who is willing to take tough positions to achieve peace. And so when you ask, am I comfortable with the Sarkozy government sending messages, you bet I’m comfortable.”
Yeah, more comfortable with the Globalist Sarkozy than your own fucking Congress, 'eh, asshole?
But while Mr. Sarkozy did not mention the Iraq war in his speech, he expressed sympathy for American soldiers fighting and dying around the world, saying it reminded him of American soldiers’ sacrifices for France.
Mr. Sarkozy, as his audience applauded:
“Every time, whenever an American soldier falls somewhere in the world, I think of what the American Army did for France. I think of them and I am sad, as one is saddened to lose a member of one’s family.”
Anti-French feelings were so fierce in Congress after France refused to join the Iraq war effort in 2003 that the word “French” was stricken from the menus of the House of Representatives’ cafeterias. “Freedom fries” and “Freedom toast” were introduced. There were initiatives to boycott any product made in France.
That angry mood is gone.
But not forgotten!! At least, not in these quarters!!!
Never forget and NEVER FORGIVE!
Representative Tom Lantos, the California Democrat who is chairman of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs:
“President Sarkozy has hit a home run out of the ballpark. I expect a spectacular renaissance in French-American relations.”
Sarkozy: The NEW Tony Bliar!
Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the Republican leader, said of Mr. Sarkozy’s performance:
“You just heard a Ronald Reagan speech from a president of France. It was an almost out-of-body experience for all of us.”
Mr. Sarkozy managed to draw applause even after he chided the Bush administration for not taking a leadership role on climate change and warned about the risks of the dollar’s sharp decline.
In his speech and the news conference with Mr. Bush, Mr. Sarkozy pledged to be a strong partner with the United States against terrorism and to keep French troops in Afghanistan as long as needed in the NATO-led mission to bring stability."
As I said: "Sarkozy: The NEW Tony Bliar!"
