Believing the French?

Maybe there is something to the argument about Bush's administration being a little inept, who in their right mind would have believed the French would muster several thousand peacekeepers? or stay aligned against terrorists? all that talk about holding out for a "real" peace, yet they folded like cheap outdoor furniture before a week was out, nearly. agreeing to a cease fire that had no teeth whatsoever against terrorist activity, not even a call to disarm the terrorists. WTF!!
