Geez-louise!

French failure to get their hostages back? Must be the fault of Amerika!

Later in the day, another French Muslim leader who visited Iraq wondered whether the US offensive around Latifiya, in an area south of Baghdad where the hostages are thought to be held, had been a deliberate effort to thwart their release.

I bet the Chimperor personally ordered this, right before sitting down to a nice lunch of cold peasant salad with a blood smoothie!

Seriously, though, the article from the Jordan Times is interesting as it shows the fear in France that appeasement and flattery are not getting the desired results. If that doesn't work, what's left?

Oh, right....
