Prime Minister Chirac has officially raised the French terror alert from "Run" to "Hide". There are only two higher alert levels in France, which are "Surrender" and "Collaborate". The rise was precipitated by a recent fire which destroyed France's white flag factory - effectively crippling their military.

Arc de Triomphe. Built by Napolean to celebrate French Military might. Used four times, twice by the Germans and twice by the Allies.

After reading this thread, I get a vague feeling that the commentators consider the French to have a big yellow streak? I wonder why

The Last time the french asked for "more evidence" it marched into Paris two days later under a swaztika


DorsetStrider - 14/7/05 at 12:24 PM

If I recall my history correctly there is a reason that the french don't like to fight.... they have after all been invaded 4 times in the last 100 years........there's a reason for that too!
