May 26, 200521 yr http://www.guardian.co.uk/international/st...rticle_continue It was a culinary rebuke that echoed around the world, heightening the sense of tension between Washington and Paris in the run-up to the invasion of Iraq. But now the US politician who led the campaign to change the name of french fries to "freedom fries" has turned against the war. Walter Jones, the Republican congressman for North Carolina who was also the brains behind french toast becoming freedom toast in Capitol Hill restaurants, told a local newspaper the US went to war "with no justification". heh.

May 26, 200521 yr Author Kind of after the fact... who cares? 784722[/snapback] The fact that you don't care reveals a telling fact about how much an administration can doop a populace...without backlash.
May 27, 200521 yr It was a stupid idea, along with the fact that I don't trust The Guardian, I say this records about a 1.3 on the care meter.

The amount of leeway given to those in power is reaching a disturbing high in this country, however.
June 1, 200521 yr It's alright :cool I see your point and don't necessarily disagree with you. 790149[/snapback] How can anyone agree. The freedom fries thing is stupid, so what if the guy turns the corner and goes against the war. Just bc hes the freedom fries guy its so important that we all have to be concerned? This is no different than any other politcial figure changing his mind about something. Not big news at all. Reflects nothing about the populace or the administration. You gotta lay off the guardian
June 1, 200521 yr I posted it more for it's comedic value. I hardly ever read the Guardian. 791426[/snapback] i understand
