Look, we're not asking France to ship a couple million soldiers over to Iraq to fight. In fact, we're not really asking for anything, except for them to drop their staunch opposition to this war.
And yes, we did support France before officially entering the war by shipping millions of tons of supplies and materiel there.
If only the real French could have fought like the Vichy French (who fought against us), they could have kept the Germans out of Paris for a couple extra days. (**Had to take cheap shot there, totally out of the context of the debate
)
