Actually the Usa fought the war in the PACFIC against Japan and only joined in near the end against Germany the d-day attack also had Canadians and the British so lets not get to carried away.

In no way I have I taken anything away from Lance with my statement I'm only saying how the French see him. He is a very machine like person who we find too in your face for our taste not saying he is not a great rider but his way of being rubs the wrong way. As to my age I'm 55 and was living in France in 1986 so you have only shown what I said to be true that Americans would not understand why Lance is not liked. Oh lets not forget Eddy a true hero on all levels.[no he's not French but his style is what we hold dear.

I doubt you speak for the French people. In fact, you seem a little jaded and bitter. Good luck with that.

You need to follow the example of your president. Relax, and get a little...

???

anyone who claims to speak for an entire population is summarily wrong.

"Only joined near the end" is a pretty serious mis-reading of history, unless you ignore the North Africa campaign and the invasion of Italy.

not to mention the lend-lease act

Neither of those two should be seen in public without being fully clothed. He needs some cosmetic knee surgery and she needs to eat.

He should stop hitting on his daughter's friends.

Since after 24 tests they know they can't get him on doping, they will get him on a technicality. Sooooo Funny.

please don't tell me that if carla bruni walked into your bedroom right now you'd point your finger at the door and send her out.

Umm okay instead I'd run not walk out of the room just to be polite. She's not my tyoe

he he he Lance got set up...ha ha ha!

I saw Eddy win two Tours.

Eddy was a machine, he took no prisoners. Thus, his nickname..."The Cannibal".

I am not sure what Eddy you are referring to. Maybe Haskell?

Funny how the memories fade with time.

Eddy was a mentor to Lance. Obviously, Lance listened.

So, want to try again?

Remember Hinault, the last French rider worth a damn, telling Lance, "No gifts!"?

Was Hinault "in your face?"

You bet.

Carla Bruni...fkuc yeah!!!!! How I would love to be the secret service assigned to her!!!!

Can you tell me the name of the General that organized and planned the largest invasion in history?

There were approximately 10,000 casualities on D Day. British were 2,700, Canadian 945, US 6,600.

The point is that, had all these people not arrived, you would be speaking German.

BTW...know about the WWI battle of Vimy Ridge? Where French forces tried for a year, throughout 1915 to repulse German forces entrenched on the ridge. Then the Canadians showed up. British artillery pounded the ridge for a couple of weeks.

They took the first two German lines in an hour. By the end of the day, they had control of the entire ridge, despite 10,000 caualities and 3,500 deaths.

Seems like we all have a history of bailing out the French.

We were all happy to help. But show a little respect.
