France Top Intelligence Source On Iran
Gates and Herve Morin
WASHINGTON, Nov 8 (AFP) Nov 09, 2007
France is one of the top intelligence sources on Iran for the United States, Democrat Ellen Tausche, chairman of the House of Representatives subcommittee on strategic forces, told a press conference Thursday.
“Iran is deadly dangerous. They have been isolated from us for a very, very long time, and we don’t have very good intelligence. I am glad we use a lot of international intelligence, especially the French and (Britain’s) MI6,” she told reporters.
Asked if the US administration’s warnings about Iran’s alleged secret nuclear weapons program should be believed, Tausche said: “You shouldn’t, you should believe the French.”
The lawmaker added that on Wednesday, after meeting with President George W. Bush, French “President (Nicolas) Sarkozy was totally unambiguous about Iran, and (said) that there was reason to be concerned about (its) ambitions.”
On October 29, French Defence Minister Herve Morin dismissed comments by the head of the UN’s International Atomic Energy Agency, Mohamed ElBaradei, that there was no evidence Iran was building nuclear weapons.
“Our information, matching those of other countries, gives us the opposite feeling,” Morin said at the end of a visit to the United Arab Emirates.
Be respectful of others and their opinions. Inflammatory remarks and inane leftist drivel will be deleted. It ain’t about free speech, remember you’re in a private domain. My website, my prerogative.
If you can't handle using your real email address, don't bother posting a comment.

He’s contradicting himself. He knows exactly what the deal is. He’s just trying to be coy.

you don’t know the man, he is a person who don’t chew the words in his mouth, ; he is respected by the military for his “franc-parler”
November 9th, 2007 at 7:38 amTausche is an idiot! The Pres. says we can’t trust Iran, they’re going for the bomb and we will probably have to use force to stop them. Tausche (like a good Lib storm trooper) says he’s lying and we need to listen to the French. So what do the French say?
El Baradei is a stooge, and don’t believe him because their intel and that of others shows that Iran most likely is going for the bomb.
So we should believe it because frenchie says it but not because the Pres. says it? What bumbling idiocy.
This woman has neither Foreign Affairs experience nor any Military experience. She is a Pelosi stooge (her dist. neighbors Pelosi’s) that is on this committee simply because she is a fellow traveler and she needs to be drummed out for such inept, harmful and traitorous speech.
When good people do nothing….
November 9th, 2007 at 8:08 amfrenchie:
What are you talking about? He made two contracdictory statements…and I gave him credit for at least attempting to be somewhat diplomatic. He knows what’s at stake and understands the threat posed by Iran.
November 9th, 2007 at 8:27 amNot a very “common” idea in today’s age of goal oriented media and people that are so over-educated that they don’t have a knowledge of how the real world works. But it is our goal to insert as much as possible into the top topics of the day.
yeah, why am laughing ?
November 9th, 2007 at 8:27 amDAn, because he is precautious, last time he talk about Iran it was after Kouchner’s speech, that irritated all the diplomaties, even yours, he was smoothing Kouchner’s purposes, in the right thread of Sarkozy ;
today, he is again following Sarkozy after his meeting with Bush ;
so one can’ say he is telling BS but making official statments of the diplomatic “progresses”
November 9th, 2007 at 8:37 am“yeah, why am laughing ?”
Because you’re an idiot.
November 9th, 2007 at 8:38 amFrenchie:
Why are you laughing? I doubt that anyonein here cares. Your intellect is strictly small change. Why don’t you go join the rest of the bourgeois in Paris. I’m sure there’s a party going somewhere that would welcome your leftist ass.
November 9th, 2007 at 8:42 amÔÔ Sully ÔÔ
November 9th, 2007 at 8:47 amdanny, makes a come-back, good !
November 9th, 2007 at 8:50 amfrenchie:
You completely missed my point. When are you going to learn English? You can’t even comprehend the easiest points made here. Are you that stupid?
November 9th, 2007 at 8:52 amyeah, thanks your so clever that I missed your point, back in school again ?
November 9th, 2007 at 8:55 amDan the answer to why the French position has changed is right under Sarkozy’s nose. Pun inteded. AIPAC loves him
November 9th, 2007 at 9:00 amfrenchie:
I never left. I just been ignoring your stupid leftist drivel.
November 9th, 2007 at 9:01 amSully
In fairness to Franchie why don’t you post your ideas thoughts and criticisms on French websites?
The girl does pretty well. English is more than likely one of many languages she speaks.
November 9th, 2007 at 9:04 amSully and Dan
Check my post under Pat’s oustanding James Hooker video. I am sure you will love it.
November 9th, 2007 at 9:06 amDan, you should take off your eye blinkers, that will make an honest person of you, didn’t the Lord teach you the humility ?
November 9th, 2007 at 9:07 amEye blinkers? LOL WTF is that?
November 9th, 2007 at 9:11 amAlways gotta make it about you huh Frenchie? Before one can be an honest person, one needs a working moral compass; something which you do not posses.
one needs a working moral compass; something which you do not posses.
if that drives where you are, no thanks !
but I am a very moral person though, I work for the benefit of my country, am I wrong to be a patriot ?
November 9th, 2007 at 9:18 amDan:
I’ve given up trying to hold an intellegent dialog with her.
Frankly I think she’s either too stupid or too far left to even realize she’s being insulted….even when the insults are in french.
November 9th, 2007 at 9:24 amD.C:
You’re right, the woman is an oxygen thief.
November 9th, 2007 at 9:31 amPaul Hausser:
I ‘d be a waste of time listening to you try and overcompensate for that chip on your shoulder. We all know that the only reason why you are here is to fuck with better men than you. No thanks.
November 9th, 2007 at 9:36 amDan:
Yea…with a huge carbon footprint……:cool:
November 9th, 2007 at 9:39 amDC:
A large cabon footprint….LOL
November 9th, 2007 at 9:43 amPaul Hauser:
You making antisemetic comments again? AIPAC? Are you implying that beacuse Sarkozy has a big nose that he’s somehow Jewish and therefore a member of AIPAC?
November 9th, 2007 at 9:46 am“Check my post under Pat’s oustanding James Hooker video.”
Like you… it sucks.
“Nuremberg is what is haunting the Marines in Iraq.”
The only thing that *might* be “haunting” Marines is that dumbfucks like you and all the other leftist drones are part of what they are fighting for asswipe.

He is Jewish. Listen damn it I don’t agree with killing Jewish people for Christ sake.
But I am not going to back off on my concern of their influence on foreign policy of THIS country. America first right Dan.
Israel gets enough fucking free handouts and military equipment to fight for themselves. It is not our “moral obligation” to defend them. They seem to be doing pretty damn well for themselves in this world.
Sully
I don’t fall into any damn leftist drone category. I go for the right person in politics.
I supported Reagan
I supported Clinton
I support Arnold Schwarzennager. If only he could run he would kick the shit out of Hillary and Rudolph G
Gee 2 out of 3 are Repubs.
That post was fantastic by the way. You should be ashamed.
and stop with the Rush and Oreilly cherry pick one sentence out of context to the whole argument game. You FOX News pimp. Thats all you got out of that post? Wow You are dumb.
At least Dan is engaging
November 9th, 2007 at 10:18 amDan, an oxygen thief..I am laughing my ass off over here..that is very simple and to the point
someone call Al Gore, that carbon footprint is almost as big as the smug cloud that follows George Clooney around

November 9th, 2007 at 11:21 amDan
Read Paul Hausser’s post on James Hooker’s video. You were so dead-on about the chip on his shoulder it’s scary.
November 9th, 2007 at 11:21 amYeah i was just messing with you Franchie
November 9th, 2007 at 11:35 amYou guys are fucking up a damn fine web page with all the personal bullshit. I don’t think anyone is impressed.
November 9th, 2007 at 12:23 pm“I don’t fall into any damn leftist drone category.”
You may not realize it but yes, you do.
“I go for the right person in politics.”
Who is that this time? Ron Paul? He seems to like racist anarchists…. hmmmmm.
“That post was fantastic by the way.”
Your post about that vid? Maybe “fantastic” in a carnival/circus way. Especially attractive was the “jungle monkey” remark.
“You should be ashamed.”
Fuck you Hoser… you’re the one that should be ashamed for your racist and anti-semitic remarks.
“….FOX news pimp…”
LOL. Nah… I don’t watch TV much at all anymore. Too much crap gettin’ in the way of the real ‘news I can use’ for a right wing conspiring capitalist like me… the commercials.
“At least Dan is engaging.”
Yes he is. I’m sure he wishes that you were…
November 9th, 2007 at 12:29 pmfrenchie:
“oxygen thief, I missed that one”
Me: Yep you sure did.
“I earn enough money so that I give my part to my country, I wouldn’t say so for you”
Me: Yeah in taxes, no doubt. And how would you know how much I make…or how much I give? And what does your comment have to do with the topic anyways?
“BTW my “oxigen” isn’ot spoiled with holly water of reborneds because they were fucking drunkers or shit eaters”
Me: ROFLOL… you spelled oxygen wrong.
Paul Hausser:
“He is Jewish. Listen damn it I don’t agree with killing Jewish people for Christ sake.

me: I don’t care if he’s pink and he’s from Mars. The Sarkman is OK in my book. You’re an anti-semite. You sound just like AQ or MMA or CAIR, they got the same anti-semetic views. Careful Hauser, you might just be on the verge of breaking your probation.
Sully:
“Yes he is. I’m sure he wishes that you were…”
me: Right you are my brother.
November 9th, 2007 at 1:37 pmKurt (The Infidel):
Good comments. LOL
November 9th, 2007 at 1:40 pmDean Wormer:
I got his number man. These people aren’t hard to figure out.

Chill out. Half the fun of being here is getting “personal” with people. Jump on in…the water is fine….
November 9th, 2007 at 1:43 pm“Still, global financial markets have largely failed to react to the political unrest in Pakistan this week. Market sources say they remain more concerned about uncertainty elsewhere”
…and that says it in a nut shell…
Rep. Ellen Tauscher “We need a lot more visibility on what’s going on in Pakistan. Who does have that football? Who is next in line?,” she said about Pakistan’s nuclear weapons.
What is this we sh*t..Tausher YOU will be told very little
November 9th, 2007 at 2:50 pmabout anything…as a matter of fact, you’ll learn more from the newspaper
