Yeah, remind me. Are we still supposed to resent the French, over and above the other 60 nations that didn't buy the lies about WMDs? Does the fact they were correct account for anything?

I don't think an American should be jesting about armed standoffs in schools. The frenchman (though obviously a complete schlong-brain) may well have surrendered but would you rather he took out half the school as so often happens in the US?

Obviously huh - would have been the honourable thing right?

From the article:
Quote:
SABLE-SUR-SARTHE, France - A former teacher armed with a handgun that fires rubber bullets surrendered peacefully Thursday after taking nearly two dozen people — mostly students — hostage in a classroom at his former school in western France, officials said.
ADVERTISEMENT

Nicolas Vilpail, 33, was on medication and apparently under the influence of alcohol during the four hours he held 21 students and two aides captive, authorities said. A government official said Vilpail had made "paranoiac demands.".............................................A school employee said the gunman, who was looking for work, had promised early on not to harm the students, held in an upper-floor study hall......................................Bernadet te Mercier, the school receptionist, said the former teacher had been "very, very depressed" two years ago because of personal problems.
1. Rubber bullets - French WMD.

2. Under the influence of alcohol - that will improve your aim

3. Looking for work - will this look good on my resume?

4. Very, very depressed - and super depressed now.

WTH are you talking about? The French did not doubt Saddam had WMD . . .they only wanted to stall . . . to give Saddam [french-whine] T I M E [/french-whine] -- because that's what they were PAID to do.


whadda tool for the anti-US.

A French criminal. With a gun. With rubber bullets. That's precious!

I never like to get involved in these bashing threads, but you guys are out of line. When you point your venom at other countries (and confuse gov't with populance) you are bigots.

BTW before you jump on Canadians (because of my Toronto locale), I was born in Michigan.
