Frogs Hop On Bandwagon
France is making a move to mend fences with the U.S, reports the AP, noting that the French government said yesterday it will work with other nations to cancel billions of dollars in Iraqi debt and that Saddam Hussein's capture will open the way toward mending relations with Washington. Interesting that - in the same week the Bush administration barred the French from bidding on Iraq reconstruction contracts, and then arrested their former business partner Saddam Hussein, the French are coming around to doing things our way. Of course you knew they would. They always surrender to whoever they think is going to win.

UPDATE: Blogs for Bush points out that, of course France suddenly wants to forgive Iraq's debts - because a lot of the debt is from weapon sales. "No doubt nations will be willing to do whatever Bush wants now that we have Saddam. Who knows what stories Saddam has in his mental repository," says Blogs for Bush.
