The international Left and France have been so wrong about Iraq that their only option left is to carry on.

ÉVIAN-LES-BAINS, France, June 3 -- (...) President Jacques Chirac of France, who met with President Bush on Monday in an effort to repair their fractured relationship, repeated his opinion that the war was "illegitimate and illegal." Speaking to reporters as the three-day meeting in this French spa town wound down, Mr. Chirac said, "I didn't approve of it and I still don't approve of it."

Well of course you don't.

Mr. Chirac and most of France alongside the international Left were so wrong on just about everything and they went so far to demonstrate it that there is no way they will ever admit this war was righteous. There is no way they will ever acknowledge that, possibly more than Afghanistan, this battle of Iraq in the long war against terrorism is the first positive and constructive action counterpoising the nihilist abomination of 9/11.

And now that all their murky warnings, sibylline threats, vulgar propaganda, false solutions to a real crisis, open opposition and clandestine underhandedness were exposed for what they are and proved -- at best -- to be vain, now that their champion, the Butcher of Baghdad, fell from his throne in less than three weeks and crawled under a rock, they frenetically fall back to whatever argument they can think about in order to maintain the illusory validity of their position.

Looting among the rubble of an argumentation built on sand, they lean against the last wall that sketchily stand up, the one on which is written a cryptic acronym that reads WMD.

Psyching themselves up at the idea of firing their last bullet to make their point, the people supposedly outraged at the one year long American "rush" to war, the people who, after 12 years of diplomatic hide and seek game still wanted to give more time to the UN inspectors, this very people starts asking, hardly two months after the fall of Saddam's bloody regime, "Where are the weapons of mass destruction?"

Once again, they're feverishly lying in wait for a trip of the Coalition.

And once again, they're despising and ignoring the Iraqi people suffering and his legitimate yearning for liberation.

The endless duplicity of the same noxious crowd impelled me to create this new Flash banner "No WMD? WDM", a gloomy and (sadly) unavoidable echo of another banner I created almost 4 months ago in the same spirit and emphasizing on the same point, "The price of their peace".

Like the previous one, I'm offering this banner freely to anybody wishing to display or distribute it. Just help yourself:

Download a zip archive containing the Flash movie and instructions on how to publish it on a website.

Download a self-playing executable to pass along to your friends using MS Windows.

Download a self-playing clip for the same purpose but for the Macintosh users.

This should be piece of cake for the veterans of the price of peace banner but in any case, if you need help or guidance, drop me a mail.

I hope this banner will help, even modestly, to set the focus back on what's always been a major aspect of this crisis and, should you decide to help by spreading it, I wish to sincerely thank you.

Let's not forget that whatever happens next in Iraq, be it today, tomorrow or in ten years, there's a murderous tyrant and a violent régime down.

There are kids, women and men who won't end up buried dead or alive in the depths of mass graves.

For that, and just for that, this war was right.

As for the rest, I don't mind.

La gauche internationale et la France ont eu tellement tort concernant l'Iraq, que la seule option qui leur reste est de continuer.

ÉVIAN-LES-BAINS, France, 3 juin -- (...) Le Président français Jacques Chirac, qui a rencontré le Président Bush lundi pour s'efforcer de réduire la fracture de leurs relations, a réitéré son opinion selon laquelle la guerre était "illégitime et illégale." S'adressant aux reporters alors que le meeting dans cette ville thermale française touchait à sa fin, M. Chirac a déclaré, "Je ne l'approuvais pas et ne l'approuve toujours pas"

Evidemment que non.

M. Chirac, la majeure partie de la France et la gauche internationale ont eu tellement tort sur pratiquement tous les points et ils sont allés si loin pour le démontrer qu'ils ne peuvent en aucune manière reconnaître que cette guerre était juste. Il ne peuvent en aucune manière admettre que, plus encore peut-être que l'Afghanistan, cette bataille d'Irak dans la longue guerre contre le terrorisme est la première action positive et constructive à même de contrebalancer l'abomination nihiliste du 11 septembre.

Et maintenant que tous leurs ténébreux avertissements, menaces sibyllines, propagande grossière, fausses solutions à une vraie crise, opposition ouverte et magouilles en sous-main ont été exposés pour ce qu'ils sont et se sont révélés -- pour le moins -- vains, maintenant que leur champion, le Boucher de Bagdad, est tombé de son trône en moins de trois semaines pour ramper sous une roche, ils s'en remettent frénétiquement au premier argument auquel ils puissent penser pour maintenir la validité illusoire de leur prise de position.

Pillant les débris d'une argumentation construite sur du sable, ils s'adossent au dernier mur tenant vaguement debout, celui sur lequel figure un cryptique acronyme, WMD, Armes de destruction massive.

Réprimant mal leur enthousiasme à l'idée de tirer la dernière cartouche de leur argumentaire, les individus soi-disant outragés par la "course" américaine à la guerre, longue de plus d'un an, les individus qui, après 12 ans de cache-cache diplomatique tenaient toujours à donner plus de temps aux inspecteurs, ces individus là commencent déjà à demander, deux mois à peine après la chute du régime sanglant de Saddam Hussein, "Où sont les armes de destruction massive ?"

Une fois de plus, ils sont fiévreusement à l'affût d'un faux pas de la Coalition.

Et une fois de plus, ils méprisent et ignorent les souffrances du peuple irakien et son légitime désir de libération.

La sempiternelle duplicité des mêmes multitudes malfaisantes m'a poussé à créer cette nouvelle bannière Flash "No WMD? WDM", tel un lugubre et malheureusement inévitable écho d'une autre bannière que j'avais créé il y a déjà quatre mois de cela, dans le même esprit et insistant sur le même aspect des choses, "The price of their peace".

Comme la précédente, j'offre cette bannière librement à quiconque souhaite l'afficher ou la distribuer. Alors servez vous :

Téléchargez une archive zip contenant le clip Flash et les instructions pour le publier sur un site web.

Téléchargez un exécutable autonome pour le distribuer à vos relations utilisant MS Windows.

Téléchargez en un autre du même type mais pour les utilisateurs Macintosh.

Cela devrait être une promenade de santé pour les vétérans de la bannière the price of peace mais juste au cas où, balancez moi un email si vous avez besoin d'aide ou d'indications.

Je souhaite que cette bannière puisse, même modestement, remettre un peu les choses en place quand à un aspect majeur de cette crise et, dussiez vous décider de m'y aider en la distribuant, je vous en remercie sincèrement.

N'oublions pas que quoi qu'il arrive ensuite en Irak, aujourd'hui, demain ou dans dix ans, il y a un tyran assassin et un régime violent en moins.

Il y a des enfants, des femmes et des hommes qui ne finiront pas inhumés morts ou vifs dans les tréfonds d'une fosse commune.

Pour cela, et pour cela seulement, cette guerre était juste.

Le reste m'est égal.

According to the Iraq Body Count website, the WAC (weapons of the allied coalition) have "Collateral(ly) Damage(d)," at minimum, 6071 civilians of a nation of the "Axis." Why? In order to eliminate WMD? Perhaps the answer lies in the ideology of the TDF website. Total Fascist Domination.

#21: It's getting boring really... At one point, dismissing logic and reason like you do is so close to utter dumbness that one fails to discern the difference. It should be easy to understand though. If you want to play with numbers, play with all of them: - How many Iraqis were killed by Saddam and its regime? - How many Iraqis would have been killed if Saddam wasn't removed? - How long would have have Saddam's reign of terror lasted, without the right action from the Coalition, resulting in how many Iraqis killed, without any hope for an end to the nightmare, whatsoever? You're not going to face these questions and numbers of course. People like you never do. Guess who's on the side of fascism?

The war was right, but spare a thought for the international world order that is now in shambles because of it. The intentions were noble, but consider the license it gives to less benevolent states who can now point to precedent to launch an attack based on their own, classified intelligence. The uproar over WMDs is because the proof of their existence now will retroactively rally the universal support the US, UK and Australia should have gotten before entering the conflict, making the war a legitimate, legal affair in accordance with the world order we once enjoyed. The absence of WMDs gives the thumbs-up to every nation considering a pre-emptive strike "justified" by whatever excuse they care to dream up. I believe the war was justified. But I still don't support it because the world is not ready to face the consequences of the new world order that is a free-for-all for each and every nation. The horrors of Saddam's regime pale in comparison to an international arena with our new rules - I'm sorry for all the innocents sacrificed (pre and post-war) just for a world where billions more now are unprotected.

Patience et longueur de temps font plus que force ni que rage...[ la fontaine ] ---------------------------------------- Now you know and the whole world knows how wrong the USA /Brit were with their administration about Iraq, and France with Germany were right. SADAM HUSSEN is nothing compared to the devastation created by this gang [Bush &o.] around the world. The United states became a disgrace to the eyes of the rest of the world thanks to this unqualified unelected President and administration may I add. I am going to stop right here because there is nothing good to say about this President, and I am tired and sick to read and hear about it. It's a shame when i think of the consequences emanating from this small group of men at the white house , In only 3 years they ruined the reputation and the economy of the country. Now I wait for November the election day.. A bon entendeur salut.... Albert Lucas february 17, 2004

Jesus, Albert "la Fontaine"... You must be living in the illusion of a dream from another dimension. Or just be French maybe? I'm sorry but this blog does not provide tinfoil hats for the loonies of your kind. I suggest you step back into the Real World, where you will notice the liberation of Iraq, the sudden change of stance of a bunch of rogues states and, who knows, maybe even the soaring economy of the country that's supposed to be ruined (at least in your dream). It's beginning to be quite urgent: you're already unable to discern between dictators such as Saddam Hussein and the elected rulers of the free world. Soon the only option will be to shoot you down, like a wounded horse. As for November... Yeah, I'm waiting too. Hehe.

Portugal (or England, who knows?), surely will be the next target as its government and a small group of braves had the courage of crying loudly against the totalitarian Islamic fundamentalists. Maybe the fuck-them-all sheiks, axaxins and ayatolahs want to cause a good impression into the portuguese Socialist, the Green and the Comunist Parties, to instruct them to claim for a complete withdraw from Irak of our 100 republican guards that went there. No matter the time when they will act and murder more innocent civilians, we will go ahead with this front anti-Jihad, and no doubt about this: WE NEVER SURRENDER!!! In the meanwhile just a few words to tell you how we totally approve your articles and admire the lucidity you express on your pages. My web site anti-Jihad is now linking to you (in portuguese). http://www.alternativa2000.org/Contraoterrorislamico.html Greetings Carlos Torres Lisbon, Portugal

I find it absolutely hilarious that the US is taking oil. Not only has Halliburton lost millions of dollars in Iraq, but my gas prices are now at record highs. Did you guys read about those sweet oil deals the UN, France, Germany, Russia, and even some in the UK were getting? http://brain-terminal.com/articles/world/iraqi-oil-bribes.html http://washingtontimes.com/upi-breaking/20040128-094014-7323r.htm http://abcnews.go.com/sections/WNT/Investigation/saddam_oil_vouchers_040129.html http://www.opinionjournal.com/extra/?id=110004667 Elf Octane, a French government oil company has the largest contracts with Iraq. Who was acting in oil interest? Who was acting against terror? The French think with their pocketbooks and genitals. I love the Nazi-Bush comparisons. Bush attempts to remove a Hitleresque leader and he's a facist, absolutely hilarious. I think he's coming out with his policy speech to erradicate all Jews this coming week. No WMD's? It was hard enough to find these things: http://snopes.com/photos/military/sandplanes.asp Iraq is free. Something the left cannot stand. They don't care about the people, they care about the humiliation of America. Why? Well we saved their ass...to tell you the truth, I can't think of a time where France saved our ass. (Don't bring up the revolution, because the French did next to nothing.) I love your site. Whenever I talk about the French I cringe. Perhaps an articulate Frenchman such as yourself could help me realize there are rare breeds of intelectuals in France. Thank you. I promise never to say that all the French are stinky again! Adios, (Screw off, I live next to Mexico) Dylan
