The whole nation is, of course, delighted to have them home for Christmas. But that does not stop the French public - and the media - from asking the $64,000 question: did France buy the release of its two hostages in Iraq?
OR: [W]e forget that the phrase "millions for defense, not a penny for tribute" stemmed from America's refusal to acquiesce to French shakedowns during the XYZ affair. And we also forget, by the way, that the phrase, "Herr Kommandant! The Jews are hiding in those woods right over there!" was a wildly popular phrase in France in the early 1940s. Herr Kommandant! The craven fools are hiding in the government RIGHT OVER THERE!
