    Does this mean that the conservative element is no longer requiring us to order Freedom Fries? That the French are no longer constantly in retreat? That there will no longer be a fear of anything French invading American culture? Wow! What a difference a couple of years make!

      Sarkozy: Obama an empty suit on foreign policy

      French President Nicolas Sarkozy is very critical of U.S. presidential candidate Barack Obama's positions on Iran, according to reports that have reached Israel's government.

      Sarkozy has made his criticisms only in closed forums in France. But according to a senior Israeli government source, the reports reaching Israel indicate that Sarkozy views the Democratic candidate's stance on Iran as "ut More..

          Actually, I think it means the pompous asses on Propeller think the French should think Obama is a pompous ass, or wish they did.

          Sources: Sarkozy views Obama stance on Iran as 'utterly immature'

          French President Nicolas Sarkozy is very critical of U.S. presidential candidate Barack Obama's positions on Iran, according to reports that have reached Israel's government.

          Sarkozy has made his criticisms only in closed forums in France. But according to a senior Israeli government source, the reports reaching Israel indicate that Sarkozy views the Democratic candidate's stance on Iran as "utterly immature" and comprised of "formulations empty of all content."

          Obama visited Paris in July, and the Iranian issue was at the heart of his meeting with Sarkozy. At a joint press conference afterward, Obama urged Iran to accept the West's proposal on its nuclear program, saying that Iran was creating a serious situation that endangered both Israel and the West.

          According to the reports reaching Israel, Sarkozy told Obama at that meeting that if the new American president elected in November changed his country's policy toward Iran, that would be "very problematic."

            And the "source" of this story, published in Israel:
            "But according to the senior Israeli source, Sarkozy fears that Obama might "arrogantly" ignore the other members of this front and open a direct dialogue with Iran without preconditions."
            Aha!
            "They" - whoever they are - are afraid he'll follow in Bush's footsteps??
            The "senior Israeli source" is the head janitor of a public toilet in Tel Aviv?
