Does no one else notice the irony of "surrender" type quotes, alongside pleas for human rights or accusations of xenophobia?

Well, I must be slowing down with this cold, because I can't see it.

I agree 100% with SecretMethod that the French are Xenophobic, and I also think that they are hypocritical at criticizing the US and then doing things like this. (Of course, Iraq was about $$$ to the French).

The "surrender" dig just fit in context, it being my way of laughing at them.

If there is more there, you'll have to enlighten me.
