does france have any oil though?

Its a humanitarian effort to free them from tyranny. oh ya.

 

 

 

thats right.

 

 

just like with iraq.

i'm simply saying it would of been nice to have one Democrat speak.

 

 

 

you came back with your tradition bulls***....obviously wrong like usual.

 

 

 

afterall it is the American public paying for this funeral.

 

 

 

it was still very nice and all.....you dont see me arguing that fact now do you?

the democrat speaking has no place in the ceremony if the Reagans didn't want it.

 

It is tradition for only select speakers to speak. While Jacob Javits did speak at the JFK service at the Rotunda, he was an important member of Congress. its also pretty much been tradition for all former presidents to speak if they so choose. 1) State funeral protocol calls for the speakers of noth houses to speak. Both spekers were Republicans. If one (or both) were Democrats then they would of spoke instead.

 

2) Nixon's funeral was NOT a state funeral. Thusly the estate could have whomever they wanted to speak.

 

oh give me break. Now they're not a world power any more?

 

France hasn't been a world power since Waterloo, uless you count getting invaded and overrun repeadedly the characteristics of a world power.

Who cares is Chirac did not attend Reagan's funeral. This is a non-event

 

And France has been anti-US well before the IRAQ war

I have not followed his funeral or these services but if his son spoke at all, their's your democrat speaking, Das.

he hasnt...

 

 

but i understand that he is going to speak tonight....along with the other kids.

Mr. Reagan selected everything, from the speakers to the music played.

But to not even give one Democrat the chance to speak....damn.

Tip O'Neil would have been the logical choice.

 

But I don't think he was available. Tip O'Neil is dead.

I think that is what he meant by unavailable Cape

But don't you know they helped out an old RAF pilot when he was lost on the 60th anniversary of D-Day. They are such nice people.

 

 

The fighter pilot thing was making fun of stupid conclusions people make about silly little events...kind of like the silly conclusion of Chirac disrespecting Reagan because other events tied him up.

 

Here:

 

 

 

 

Yeah! Now France and US are friend again!! Wait, Bush doesnt like it? I hate those cowardly French! :thumbdown Freedom Fries!!!

Too bad he missed it, shows that France is not a world power any more.

oh give me break. Now they're not a world power any more? They haven't been a world power since WWII. This is true. They haven't been a world power since Napoleon.

 

 

France has done nothing to classify it as a world power in the past two centuries.

 

 

The only two places that could be classified are the former Soviet Union and the United States. You could make a case for Germany during the Holocaust though but for the wrong reasons.

:mischief2 Hmmm If I was G.W I'd be carefull leaving Laura close to Chirac... French are known to be charmers. Bush is so boring and chauvinistic, Jacques might just steal her away.
