Just had dinner with a German friend of mine tonite. He has a nice little old economy biz. Plants in the UK, US, and GERMANY. Just had a board meeting where the BRit and German members wanted to close the US plant until Bush was no longer president. Problem was these "board execs" failed to realize that the US plant and ops accounted for close to 70 percent of sales (also had the highest margins). Proposal dropped. However...

Now my German friend, with his US board counterpart and head of US ops, are planning to buy out the company, close the ops in the UK and Germany.

SOrry for the long story but I thought it was relevant to the point I think Hawk was making about their (the Germs and Frogs) economies dependance on our own (as I'm sure you were aware HK, those German and French numbers came in worse than our own).

Their economies need resolution to this war as much as ours does. That's why their cheap maneuvers with Nato and the UN this weekend boggle the mind.

The only conclusion I arrive at is they have something really major to hide which will be found when American troops go in.

1) Did Chirac get Saddam enough plut etc for a nuke?

2) Is the Iraq WMD assortment in excellent condition and are all the upgrades German and French?

Well, we're going to find out.

And if they are responsible....
