I meant Gaul...
Imagine my surprise when I read Michael Freunds latest column at IsraelNationalNews?!
It appears that Nicholas Sarkozy {may his testes shrivel} has condemned Israels response to the illegal violation of the naval blockade. Nicky boy did not even wait for facts or videos or anything, his immediate reaction was to condemn Israel, as any frenchman will blame a Jew.
But Michael Freund reveals Frances exposed underbelly.... Only 25 years ago, in 1985, France was involved in the sinking of a Greenpeace vessel which was intending on interrupting one of Frances nuclear weapons tests...
I had to look it up on Wikipedia and it appears that France did sink the ship, and there was one person killed in the sinking.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinking_of_the_Rainbow_WarriorThe sinking of the Rainbow Warrior, codenamed Opération Satanique[1], was an operation by the "action" branch of the French foreign intelligence services, the Direction Générale de la Sécurité Extérieure (DGSE), carried out on July 10, 1985. It aimed to sink the flagship of the Greenpeace fleet, the Rainbow Warrior in the port of Auckland, New Zealand, to prevent her from interfering in a nuclear test in Moruroa.
Fernando Pereira, a photographer, drowned on the sinking ship. Two French agents were arrested by the New Zealand Police on passport fraud and immigration charges. They were charged with arson, conspiracy to commit arson, willful damage, and murder. As part of a plea bargain, they pleaded guilty to manslaughter and were sentenced to ten years, of which they served just over two.
The scandal resulted in the resignation of the French Defence Minister Charles Hernu. Twenty years later, a report by the then head of French Intelligence, said the attack was authorized by French President François Mitterrand.
Here is the Fundamentally Fruend article:

(Israelnationalnews.com) Among these leading the charge to denounce Israel in unsparing terms over the Gaza flotilla incident have been the pusillanimous paragons of piety in Paris.
On Monday, without even bothering to check the facts, French President Nicolas Sarkozy reflexively condemned Israel and accused it of a "disproportionate use of force".
Meanwhile, French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner said he was "deeply shocked" by the Israeli raid on the Gaza-bound flotilla and insisted that "nothing can justify the use of such violence".
As always, it is hard to take Paris' moral posturing all too seriously, given their track record of cozying up to dictators and selling arms and ammunition to just about everyone except the Devil himself (though I'm sure they tried leaving messages for him.....).
But what is particularly galling about this Gallic gumption is the sheer hypocrisy that it represents.
After all, it was precisely 25 years ago next month that French intelligence agents, acting upon the orders of then-President Francois Mitterand, covertly attacked and blew up a Greenpeace vessel in New Zealand to prevent the environmental activists from disrupting a French nuclear test.
The ship, known as the Rainbow Warrior, was docked in port of Auckland, New Zealand's capital, and as a result of the blast, a photographer on board was killed.
So just exactly who do the French think they are to be lecturing Israel?
As Inspector Clueso was wont to say:
Waaaaa Haaaaa!
