When in England, at a fairly large conference, Condi Rice was asked by the
Archbishop of
Canterbury if our plans for Iraq were just an example of empire building’
by George Bush.
She answered by saying, ‘Over the years, the United States has sent many
of its fine young men and women into great peril to fight for freedom
beyond our borders. The only amount of land we have ever asked for in
return is enough to bury those that did not return.’

There was a conference in France where a number of international engineers
were taking part, including French and American. During a break, one of
the French engineers came back into the room saying ‘Have you heard the
latest dumb stunt Bush has done? He has sent an aircraft carrier to
Indonesia to help the tsunami victims. What does he intended to do, bomb
them?’
A Boeing engineer stood up and replied quietly: ‘Our carriers have three
hospitals on board that can treat several hundred people; they are nuclear
powered and can supply emergency electrical power to
shore facilities; they have three cafeterias with the capacity to feed
3,000 people three meals a day, they can produce several thousand gallons
of fresh water from sea water each day, and they carry half a dozen
helicopters for use in transporting victims and injured to and from their
flight deck. We have eleven such ships; how many does France have?’

A U.S. Navy Admiral was attending a naval conference that included
Admirals from the U.S. , English, Canadian, Australian and French Navies.
At a cocktail reception, he found himself standing with a large group of
Officers that included personnel from most of those countries. Everyone
was chatting away in English as they sipped their drinks but a French
admiral suddenly complained
that, whereas Europeans learn many languages, Americans learn only
English.’ He then asked, ‘Why is it that we always have to speak English
in these conferences rather than speaking French?’
Without hesitating, the American Admiral replied ‘Maybe it’s because the
Brits, Canadians, Aussies
and Americans arranged it so you wouldn’t have to speak German.’

AND THIS STORY FITS RIGHT
IN WITH THE
ABOVE…

Robert Whiting, an elderly gentleman of 83, arrived in Paris by plane. At
French Customs, he took a few minutes to locate his passport in his carry
on. ‘You have been to France before, monsieur?’ the
customs officer asked sarcastically. Mr. Whiting admitted that he had been
to France previously.
Then you should know enough to have your passport ready.’ The American
said, ”The last time I was here, I didn’t have to show it. ‘Impossible.
Americans always have to show your passports on arrival in France !’ The
American senior gave the Frenchman a long hard look. Then he quietly
explained, ”Well, when I came ashore at Omaha Beach on D-Day in 1944 to
help liberate this country, I couldn’t find a single Frenchmen to show a
passport to.’
