The French are pansies
The story is mostly about how the French “reject the war on terror,” but I like this part, cause it sets up an easy joke.
Both France and the United States have played down splits opened by the Iraq war, pointing especially to cooperation on attempts by the West to contain Iran’s nuclear ambitions.
But differences in tone and style have often resurfaced, notably during the Lebanon crisis, where France initially offered to send just 400 peacekeepers to Lebanon despite vigorously backing calls for an international force.
Why only 400 peacekeepers ? That’s all the white flags they could find. (Ba dump bump)
