Gotta Love These Descriptions of French Relevance!

These lines have been making the rounds recently. Given France's stance and Chirac's dance, they deserve the ridicule.
+++++++++++++
According to Jed Babbin, former deputy undersecretary for defense for George H.W. Bush: "Going to war without the French is like going deer hunting without your accordion."

David Letterman: Re: Iraqi violations
"France wants more evidence. The last time France wanted more evidence, it rolled right through France with a German flag."

Jay Leno: "I don't know why people are surprised that France won't help us get Saddam out of Iraq. After all, France wouldn't help us get the Germans out of France!"

Rep. Roy Blunt, R-Mo.: "Do you know how many Frenchmen it takes to defend Paris? It's not known, it's never been tried."

Blunt again: "Somebody was telling me about the French Army rifle that was being advertised on eBay the other day -- the description was: 'Never shot. Dropped once.'"

And even an unwitting French President Jacques Chirac:
"As far as I'm concerned, war always means failure."
Duh!

"Do you know it only took Germany three days to conquer France in World War II?"
