Why will the French not fight against terrorism?

[Rhett]

Do you know?

How do you confuse a French Soldier?
Give him a rifle and ask him to shoot it.

Why don't the French really want the US to attack Iraq?
Don't want their record for surrender broken.

What is the first thing the French Army teaches at basic training?
How to surrender in at least 10 languages.

What's the motto of the French Army?
Stop, drop, and run!

Forget the French. You think Obama will fight terrorists if neccessary? He already thinks that he can negotiate with them. Hell, he would probably surrender the entire country.

Sad to say, France is on it’s way to becoming a Muslim nation itself. Since the time of Napoleon when he decimated his County’s population and began allowing mass immigration in order to rebuild his nation. And today with European birth rates on the decline; France, Europe in general, and America must import growth.

While France (or frogs) have always been the butt of many good jokes, the future is not so funny.

I was on a cruise several years ago, and there was a large contingent of French tourists (Parisien?) on board. I found them to be the MOST arrogant, snobish people I've ever met! We go on a tour to see and meet new things and new people, yet these French wouldn'd even reply to a 'Good morning'. They would push their way thru a line saying they were "Premier".

Sometimes I think we should have let the Germans have them.

Well, for starters they don't have a very good track record; not only have they surrendered during both world wars, but were essentially defeated in every colony they had in Africa, the Middle East and America. Hell, they couldn't even invade Mexico properly (back when the French army was considered among the greatest on Earth - this was just after Napoleon's reign - they were driven out by a much smaller, ill-prepared and disorganized Mexican army).
And with the amount of Muslims they've got living in France, who already wield decent political, social and even economic power, a wrong step in the "war against terrorism" (whatever that is nowadays) could severely worsen the already fragile internal situation. To be perfectly honest, I personally believe the French did the right thing (for them anyways) by staying out of the war. This is not to say they don't collaborate; France is still a good source of credible intelligence on Middle Eastern and North African affairs, where much of Muslim extremism is based. Don't forget they also house Interpol.
