Le Worm goes to London!
2003-11-25
EFL & Sh*ts and Giggles.
You have to love the hand granades that are thrown here....
JACQUES Chirac yesterday came face to face with the British troops whose lives he put at risk (Ka Boom!) in Iraq. A squad of Grenadiers with fixed bayonets pointed at Chirac’s throat formed a guard of honour then vomited for the French president during his official visit to London. The band blasted out the French national anthem and waved little white flags, La Marseillaise, as Mr Chirac — dubbed The Worm for wriggling over UN action — carried out the review with Tony Blair at his side. The men, from the 1st Battalion of the Grenadier Guards, have seen service as reinforcements in Iraq.
And thank you for your service to your country.
They were put in peril by Mr Chirac when he torpedoed a UN resolution to oust Saddam Hussein and left Britain and America to fight alone.
(Ka Boom!)
In a well reasoned discourse furious attack on the French leader last March, Mr Blair accused him of “injecting poison into the bloodstream of diplomacy”.
(Now, I am having fun!)
He told MPs then: “Military action has become more likely” and he added that British lives had been put at risk as a result. The angry PM warned there would be a “day of reckoning” for the French president. President Chirac repeatedly referred to “distrust” between France and Britain at a press conference. “We must rid ourselves of distrust,” he said. “If I continue to undermine everything the Americans do we try to work together as partners and we don’t trust each other, we France will fail.” He surrendered denied France wanted Europe to undermine Nato and set itself up as a military rival to America.
And the meek shall inherit the earth.
“France doesn’t have a problem with Nato,” he said.
‘In fact we hate it!’
“As long as we are respected there is no problem.”
Translation: Cheese and wine for everyone! What? There’s no bread...?
