Boycott of French Products

[Almighty Colin]

I've never been in favor of a boycott against French products.

For those who are:

There has been a sharp drop in wine imports from France. One importer has said they had a
$500,000 drop in sales last month.

W.J. Deutsch & Sons noted a 10% drop in sales [$100s of thousands}.

W. J. Deutsch noted: "We have seen French wines decreasing. We've seen stores take French wines off the floor of their store. We've seen major chains stop the advertising of French wines in their weekly ads." He reported substantial increases in sales of Italian, Australian and Spanish wines."

Many other similar stories reported.

Pretty Funny Colin.....You do come up with them

It is pretty amusing, the French now are all down on themselves, and think they are isolated, and are hurt....

They should have thought of this before hand when they were being blowhards....

Peolple tried to warn them, including Bush. They did not just threaten a veto but they also lobbied other countries NOT to support us ( not only at UN but in actual war where it counts).

They also supplied the Iraqis with weapons systems, spare parts for weapon systems, radios, etc.... AFTER the embargos by the UN were put on. Embargos which they voted for, and claimed would put pressure on Iraq!

I think we will find out more of their shady dealings as we get paperwork and info from Iraq.

Fuck France.... I was thinking of making a trip there within the year... I will go to Italy or Spain instead....

i took this photo in Paris

sums it all up.

i like france though Mike. Paris is really nice and a good place to be. Cannes, Nice and Monaco are really nice areas too. Monaco is really cool. I am going to get an apartment there before the end of summer.

Italy was pretty dissapointing for me. even Rome was. Venice is interesting for about 1/2 a day. Pisa is just a normal city with a little square with a church, another building and a tower that almost fell over. Rome is pretty dirty and crowded, but cool to check out the old stuff. the farther south you go in Italy, i think the worse it gets.

I spent some time in Barcelona and i it was pretty cool. Cool to check out all of Goudi's work and architecture. very clean city i thought.

Mike,

I'm sure they'll miss the tall American walking down Champes Elysee quoting Patton asking everyone if that was the "wave" they were trying at the football game or a mass surrender.

Q. What do you call a Frenchman advancing on Baghdad?
A. A salesman
