March 4, 2003. Today it was reported that a severe earthquakes have occurred in 10 different locations in France. The severity was measured
in excess of 10 on the Richter Scale. The cause was the 56,681 dead American soldiers buried in French soil rolling over in their graves. According to the American Battle Monuments commission there are 26,255 Yankee dead from World War I buried in 4 cemeteries in France. There are 30,426 American dead from World War II buried in 6 cemeteries in France. These 56,681 brave American heroes died in their youth to liberate a country which is guilty of shameful unspeakable behavior in the 21st century. May the United States of America never forget their sacrifice as we find ways to forcefully deal with
the Godforsaken unappreciative, forgetful country of France!

Go to www.google.com and type in "French Military Victories" without the quotes. Then click "I'm feeling lucky".

Cook's resignation speech yesterday in London is very eloquent even so one may not agree with him.

Landy,

That was a good speech. I like how Robin stood up for what he believed in and backed up his words with action; resignation.

I cannot stand for the fact that US Politicians publicly blast our President on the Media in hopes of getting a few votes next year.

What way is the wind blowing today? They know what is in Iraq, and do not want to be left out after.
