Well Then ... Let's Call Them 'French Freedom Fries'



I'm quoting from Aljazeera's Freedom fries senator in Iraq U-turn [and the emphasis is mine]
A lawmaker who prompted cafeterias in the US Congress to change the name of their French fries to freedom fries in anger over France's opposition to the Iraq war, has turned against the conflict demanding a schedule on the withdrawal of US troops.

Walter Jones, a North Carolina Republican, has written more than 1300 letters of condolence to the families of soldiers killed in Iraq and will introduce legislation this week calling for a firm timetable on the withdrawal of US troops, ABC's This Week said on Sunday.
...
President George Bush's administration has refused to set a timetable on withdrawing its forces from the war-torn country.
Of course not. They want to stay in Iraq forever.

There's more to Aljazeera's story and it's here.
