BOOK AND QUOTE OF THE WEEK...



This week, I am reading Kenneth Timmerman's excellent book, "The French betrayal of America."



In it, he highlights how;



Chirac lied to Bush and the public about the war in Iraq

France urged Saddam to commit genocide against the Marsh Arabs

France helped Saddam acquire nuclear capability



and a whole lot more....



But the top quote comes from Jed Babbin, former deputy undersecretary of defense 1989-`992



"Going to war without France is like going deer hunting without an accordian. You can leave a lot of noisy useless baggage behind"
