<<< You seem mighty elated over this coming war. You do know we're not invading France, right? <g>>>
Why not ?
For years the French have tried to crush our blossoming grape and wine industry. Using subversive agents to travel on false passports to visit our wineries, disguised as so-called "expert" wine tasters.
While visiting the fields, they use biochemical weapons carried in their shoes to contaminate the plants with viruses like Eultypa, Leafroller, Pylophlhora, and even the most deadly and feared of all- the dreaded Amillaria
Half their economy depends on raising, pruning, crushing, and bottling grape juice in various forms
Therefore they have conducted a insidious globe- spanning, pre-emptive strikes on other nations vineyards in order to maintain a monopoly. They have even gone so far as to recruit our own citizens to do the dirty work. Offering winos off the street corners monetary rewards and call girls in exchange for visiting wine-tasting facilities to spread the viruses.
This action started long ago, and has been known the CIA, but it was at the beginning of the Clinton Reign
it became far more prevalent when he struck a deal with the French Premier to ignore the operation in exchange for soft money.
By ignoring the problem it has risen to become so pervasive it may never be completely eliminated.
So I think the only solution left is to invade France, and divide up their vineyard ownership in proportion to the population of other countries.
