uhm...because liberals are so akin to partisan politics...clinton being a liberal, i made the connection between the two similar 'war strategies'of each. i can ask the same question about the liberals' use of the words of the exalted NRA leader Charleton Heston to convey the ideals of conservatives... point is... clinton epitomizes the views of many liberal posters on this site (whether they want to admitit or not). so i think that a comparison is fair between two 'draft dodgers' (granted de gaulles was not near as cowardly as clinton's)

so you are saying that france should have surrendered? cause i would rather die than surrender to the nazis... but if you are willing to join the nazis and help in the extermination of the 'untermenchen' (sp?) i guess thatis your right...you are an american...oh wait but if we surrendered in the 1700's you wouldn't be would you? and the brittish weren't even attempting genocide...they were jsut charging too much for tea!

what spin? i got that direct off your cohort's web page which he waved in my face so well in the last page..."The remaining French naval vessels were destroyed in Mers El Kébir harbour near Oran in July 1940 by the Royal Navy after Churchill found that the Vichy regime was prepared to hand them over to the Germans." soo....

exactly...vichy france's puppet government is precisely what everyone was talking about in the 1st page... do you not understand? people were making a juxtaposition between the conversion of the vichy government's conversion by the french free, and the anti-american sentimented government to ove which suggested that there should be european support for the U.S. so what about that dont you get?

oh...and your boy de gaulle...he ran like a pussy to england (england no less!) when his country was invaded by the germans...

 

You just fucked up RedMonk. The leading Polish military and political leaders escaped to Great Britain in '39 after Poland was invaded. As did leading politicians from Czhecoslovakia (sp?) and Hungary. Eisenhower and the U.S. DID recognize DeGaulle after the North African Campaign and included him in the planning of "Overlord".
