Re: Americans kicking frog ass....again

Must suck to be THAT narrow minded. There are good things that have
come out of that situation.. but don't kid yourself thinking all is
hunkey-dorey...

Maybe politics.. if we really think about.. has little to do with
cycling... or maybe I'm way off the mark.

As for the testing only 1 person comment.. that is strange to say the
least... but taking it as a move against the entire US country.. I
don't know...

Dumbass,

Trolls are not supposed to keep following up their own
posts. It hoses the troll/response ratio.

Yeah, and like I said, I think I hit one of his exposed nerves....I
love exposing French anti-American hysterical loons whenever I find
them.

Dumbass -

Why didn't the French government ever pull a 1 rider/"random test" on
Richard Virenque?

The one person from the Festina incident who claimed to be clean for
years after the incident before he fessed up.

thanks,

K. Gringioni.

The French sure are good at organizing bike races, aren't they?

Yeah, you gotta wonder what the French now think of Lafayette. I also wonder
just how few Americans have a clue about that part of our history, or
understand the significance that the park across the street from the White
House is Layafette Park. My guess is that at least one person in the White
House hasn't a clue about that...

I don't know, does it? Never been dead before. Maybe it rocks.

But I'm sure it sucks to be their families and loved ones.

Just like it sucked to be the families and loved ones of those SadDumb
killed.

(just figuring)

And no, I don't presume to have any answers.

Mike your right, but it's been a serious give and take relationship. I
don't think Bush could've sold the Iraq war if France wasn't fighting
so hard to lift the UN sanctions against Hussein, and blatantly
violating them. France issued statements in support of the Un decisions
while it was completely ignoring them and doing everything they could
to have the sanctions lifted so that ELF could continue doing their
blood for oil relationship with Iraq. Russia and Germany were just as
guilty. Everybody including the US was ignoring international law and
agreements in the name of national interest. Bringing up what happened
200n years ago is moronic, because none of the nations is even close to
what they were then. More relevant is the last 60 years where we've all
cut each others throats at every chance for economic gain.

Ken, people paid P.T. Barnum big bucks to see a lot of these
specimens. I've just gone to cherrypicking comments from the people
here who have a clue. Like I said it's too bad we can't take their
money on the tourist swing through. There will probably be a couple who
stay after the Tour and that's our gain. I'd love to see more from
Davey, Benjo, Andy, etc... but what is, is. Hopefully some of the July
people step up and contribute that kind of stuff.

Does it suck to be one of the hundreds of thousands arbitrarily killed by
the Saddam regime??

Does it suck to be one of the hundreds now being killed by the terrorists
from OUTSIDE Iraq???

But wait!! They ALL have a good reason! It is OUR (USA) fault! It has been
OUR fault they have been killing each other for the last thousand years!!

Oops! But the USA has only been around for 225 years...........
