It sounds like a bluff. I can't imagine using a modern nuclear weapon against a country that sponsors terrorism. That's absurd.

But I am le tired!

I guess the riots and the nearby terrorist attack in London helped push them to make such a statement?

Frenchmen always talk big. It's their nature. One should not forget this.

I remember Russian politicians giving similar statements years ago, but so far we haven't been seeing mushroom clouds in Chechnya.

well, ok, have a rest

then fire zee missiles!

On a lighter note, down with Chirac

we're all gonna die

What's with nutty world leaders lately? Axis of evil with Bush? Moving Israel with Ahmadinejad? Now nukes with Chirac? And anything Kim from N. Korea says.

What the hell? What next, Tony Blair declaring a revival of the British empire by threatening to invade India? Russia turning back into the USSR?

I would like to see use of nukes on certain countries though.

HDTV quality, or even better too.

You sir are a dumb ****.

French arrogance is also nothing compared to American arrogance.

amen

Now, please, let there be French terrorists and have the government nuke their own damn country to ****.

WHat? I like France. They just need to kick the French people out.

and like british arrogance isn't right up there with them...?

Meh, we're still bitter about you guys stealing that colony off of us.
Can we have it back please? We'll be nice. Honest!

France is an amazing source for the sauce. I don't blame them for getting too excited.

They're probably smashed.

/pours out tea

never.

Hey, we Dutchies had New York first! Where's our share now, eh?

It's true. French talk big as far as wars go--but can't back it up.

Americans may be arrogant, but at least we can back it up. *shrug*

Whatever you say, übermenschen.

I agree to that, but no where in lassev's comment did it say "as far as wars go." He said "Its their nature."

I'm not from france, I'm a frenchman from Quebec. So perhaps I shouldn't get so worked up, but Frenchmen don't ALL talk big. And no, its not our nature.

But all frenchmen suck.

Nazis, Nein Danke.

I think it would be great if the French used their nuclear weapons for the purpose he states. I just might start to like the French if they did. But then again, I'm seeing France getting invaded by thousands of camel riding warriors from the Middle East and then Chirac going "Ahhh! Fire zee missiles!!"
So... yeah. Do I even have a point?

Nailface approves.

threatening terrorists with nukes sounds like a great idea

A man after my own heart. I'll make the popcorn.

if someone wants to fight you (like tewworwists), the one thing you dont do is say "we're gonna kill you 1st!!!"

The best course of action is to not provoke them, act as if you're only interested in defence.
Remove all trade from the countries harbouring terrorists.

If we did that, we come out as appearing the more sensible country.
Chiracs behavior is nothing more than childish, bullying tactless nonsensical clap-trap.

oh yeh, recusant is corrent, we want our Empire back, you Yanky swines!!! :p

We miss the good old days when we bombed the peniless mesopatamians for not paying our queen taxes, killing the zulus, and raping every little island we found.

*ah, memories*

I concur with Recusant and Ruthven: RULE BRITANNIA!

I do enjoy how France proposes to form a nuclear umbrella with its European allies, and then the EU kiddies on this board find it silly. Interesting.

We're not European, we're British!

Aye, but don't worry, son, some day you Brits will be right up there with the rest of the EU.

Those countries aren't normal democracies. Didn't Saddam have 500 luxury cars and god knows how many palaces whilst the Iraqi people were dying like flies at the same time, due to lack of medicines and other imports? The leaders of those countries will find enough loopholes to get what they want despite embargos. And they don't care what happens to the people. However, if you nuke a couple of military bases and the corrupt goverment, the oppressed people could revolt.



Whilst I can indeed be a four star dumb, I'm still not backing down. I'm 97.4% sure that if you statistically compared Finns and Frenchmen, the Frenchmen would talk bigger. However, I have absolutely nothing against French people. I have known a few qenuine, and they were (or rather are) very cool people.

Actually I like it how they can talk big; They are often the ones in EU who try to oppose the Americans most loudly.

Edit: And no, I don't have anything against the Americans, either. But a world with only one real power is not an ideal place.

Brits are always European, no matter how much tea they drink to try denying it.

I wonder what fallout tastes like...

NUCLEAR WINTER.

I bet it tastes good, like salt-water taffy or a Chunky

BRITANNIA RULES THE WAVES!

Actually, it's "We'll kill you if you touch us."
