1. 6000 miles. Hello Iran....lol lol But the French
Kamratin   (11.09.06)
I doubt will ever retalliate?
2. Muslims in France will control them

3. No Left Wing Demonstrations

If Israel had tested an atomic device, the entire world would be in an uproar, even though Israel is the only country threatened with extinction (by Iran and the Arab world) almost daily. Since France has long been out of Algeria and Vietnam, who is she afraid of, worth the expense of nukes? Perhaps beneath it all, she would like to duke it out with the Jewish state once and for all (see incident in Lebanon)? But Israel with it's own military might, not go willingly, as did French Jews in Vichy France. Oh what a beautiful morning..My real concern is that France is "occupied" by 6m Muslims, who would just love to have a handle on that nuclear trigger.
4. Not to worry
Arie ,   Afula   (11.09.06)
Just another frog tool to help expedite delivery of their flags of surrender
5. #2 and 4

Can you stop saying your damned stupidity, can't you? You know nothing about France and even less about French foreign policy in general (your opinion is just biased). I am quite surprised to see how people can be so small-minded when time comes to talk about France. And you know perfectly that France belongs to the same side than Israel, i.e. the camp of democracies. This also mean that we can also have differences of point of view on many matters or else it would be called a dictatorship.
6. israel failed state
tom ,   France   (11.09.06)
the cocky isrealis 'd better be careful now : if the babboons who fly the IAF fighter jets continue with their mock attacks on unifil position, israel will become a bad souvenir. israel "the failed state", 1948 (ONU) - 2006 (M51ed). Rest in Piss.
7. good.
(11.09.06)
they should test fire it towards Israel, of course this time loaded.

And if the french never had there lips locked around Nasrallah's a$$hole, they might actually be able to find these weapons they are supposed to be disarming. And they might be able to see the western international opinion and confidence of France is somewhat similar to the taste in there mouth right now. So when you guys are invaded again, be it an onrise of Germany or the Arabs, I'll do everything I can to make sure that Canada is not a part of saving your hides, again, and again. Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it. I won't defend an arab invasion of Southern Eurabia. So you'd better pick Nasrallah's ar$e hair out from your mouth and get your white flag within arms reach. You have no friends in the international community, your EU is not worth the paper it is written on.
9. The French! I hope they used a condom on the missle
Jeff ,   Cherry Hill, NJ USA   (11.09.06)
10. French ICBM
M. Hartley ,   Atlanta, US   (11.09.06)
I just know that this thing will come equipped with a white flag.
11. And they Cry about the US developing bunker busters.
Charles T. Brown ,   Gray Summit, USA   (11.09.06)
Typical French hypocrites...almost sounds like John F(for frenchie) Kerry and his friends the democrats.......Hypocrites one and all.
12. #2 arab dreamings
Reality ,   Frogland   (11.09.06)
In france: 5 millions 'muslims', from which there are 5% that pratice their religion... You are just dreaming arabian wolf... France is not an arab state and will never become.
13. Tom in France
Dave ,   Melbourne Australia   (11.10.06)
Well...Israel wont have a chance to me M51'ed after Paris is Jericho 3'ed, Provocation by the French, who are the most arrogant assholes this world has seen, will only lead to the world turning against a growing fanatical french muslim population which is spiralling out of control. Id love to see Israel bomb UNIFIL positions in Lebanon, considering they assist Hezbollah more than being a deterrant and a peace promoter. Let Israel bomb UNIFIL, let France try M51 and let Israel use Jericho.
14. Radical Islam does have nukes
(11.10.06)

17. #15 Some history needed?
ylo ,   USA   (11.10.06)
An exhaustive list of french won war is very very long... It starts in year 800 and ends in 1918, that's a fact. All the european neighbourth were defeated a least once by France and generally it's more than once...
18. #15 and when did u ever win a war urself? vietnam,
Hanz ,   Germany   (11.10.06)
afghanistan,somalia, iraq, korea !?? or do u call ur invasion of panama a war? The only war u won was against the japanese in which u only won after killing of hundreds of thousands with nuclear weapons !!!! So shut up !
19. to #18: April 30, 1945
Captain America ,   Langley, VA   (11.10.06)
Theres a date for you to remember. April 30, 1945. Bye. That is all.
20. To USA # 16
Jellybean ,   Chicago   (11.10.06)
You are a retard the US defeated Germany and Japan the Russians basically sucked. George Patton said it best when he said we should be fighting the Russians. You are such a loser!
21. to Hanz
Jellybean ,   Chicago   (11.10.06)
I wouldn't talk the US didn't kill 6 million innocent people call Jews, people who had disabilities so before you critize examine your country's track record!
22. 16 - USA
Ryan ,   Calgary, Calgary   (11.10.06)
We are not buds, your an idiot with no realistic knowledge of world events. So the Canadians that were in there from day one, didn't do anything, it was russia that liberated Holland and France, you better let the historians know that, and the veterans here in North America, cause 6 billion people think otherwise. You can't debate stupidity so there is not much to say to you.
23. 18 Hanz
Ryan ,   Calgary, Canada   (11.10.06)
I don't know about you, but i'd rather die in a nuclear explosion, it would be quick, then to undergoe chemical and biological testing which the Nazi's did to the jews. I would be that no anesthetic was used either. The US kicked your ass, now your oh so scary country has the reputation of being the gay capital of the world. Ha. WTG Hanz.
24. To #5 - Time for reality check
Arie ,   Afula   (11.10.06)
France has not won a military conflict sine Napolean's glory days;the French Foreign Legion has NEVER won a battle; France not only quickly surrendered to hitler but willingly promoted his genocidal practices;the French hav now surrendered to islamofascism without having a shot fired. issues ike the Dreyfus affair are not isolated items in French history, they are the norm!
25. #18 HANZ FROM GERMANY
V. n.y. ,   Usa   (11.10.06)
one of the greatest american military victory among quite a few was to rid europe of the nazi german scum and their deranged leader, hitler, and to restore sanity and peace to germany during 1945 and the devastetd europe after the war. my uncle LIBERATED aushwitz/birkenau, together with a huge american military infantry and foot soldiers. what they saw you germans did there defies imagination. the american and british were the first to liberate the camps!!! a gift to humanity of unproportional dimention. no other usa military victory even compares or is necessary here because the usa victory of 1945 was a celebration of humanity and decency! i don't care how many wars america won. the most important thing is that this country has in its core and heart to liberate rather than destroy and annihilate....like you germans did in 1939-1945. it will forever be a stain on your history and concience......together with france (vischy) that was only too eager and helpful to germany to realize the french antisemitism in killing and deporting most french jews to your gas chambers, hard labor camps and ovens. do not talk about american victory when germany never experienced one except the destruction of millions of people, jews and non jews in the name of german purification and nationalism. shame on you!
26. (25) France and Germany
Marcel Abel ,   France   (11.12.06)
Why are you so hateful toward Hanz ? Who are you to judge him ? Do you think you can equate yourself with the Lord ? Have American Jews helped their suffering brothers during the Holocaust ? Not even demonstrated in big US towns (Except some Orthodox Jews). War took a heavy toll on Jews, but not only on Jews. We are very sorry for what happened to your family, but we are directly not more responsible than you. Hanz's family, I guess, and mine suffered a lot too, and many others. Peace with you if you are able to forgive and accept it. If not, turn yourself to Hashem and ask yourself why He remained silent. "How long will this wicked community grumble against me? I have heard the complaints of these grumbling Israelites. So tell them, 'As surely as I live, declares the LORD, I will do to you the very things I heard you say: In this desert your bodies will fall--every one of you twenty years old or more who was counted in the census and who has grumbled against me. Not one of you will enter the land I swore with uplifted hand to make your home, except Caleb son of Jephunneh and Joshua son of Nun. As for your children that you said would be taken as plunder, I will bring them in to enjoy the land you have rejected. But you--your bodies will fall in this desert. Your children will be shepherds here for forty years, suffering for your unfaithfulness, until the last of your bodies lies in the desert. For forty years--one year for each of the forty days you explored the land--you will suffer for your sins and know what it is like to have me against you.' I, the LORD, have spoken, and I will surely do these things to this whole wicked community, which has banded together against me. They will meet their end in this desert; here they will die." (Numbers 14 ...). What will you refute the Lord if you believe in Him ? Peace with you !
27. Why are you so hateful #26
The Great Satan ,   USA   (11.14.06)
That's an excellent question for Europe and the Commonwealth countries.
