Once again, I am going to ride the coat tails of other blogs because I am tired, overworked, and underpaid. I am just a loyal member of the proletariat, a tool of the man, and the man is keeping me down. But that's another post.
As always, someone that is always good for a link is Mr. Mustang. In this post, he tackles the Fairness Doctrine. (Others cause him to be written out of my will, little by little, with each passing turn).
AC has an inside scoop you may be interested in. Do not read if you have a heart condition, specifically an arrhythmia .
I have been frequenting a place lately, called Voice Of Conservative America. Check out this video of Milton Friedman taking the steam right of Phil Donahue. It's brilliant. It's also likely you'll never see Donahue speechless like this again.

The question is do we really need them back and do we really want them back to start ordering the others around.

To all of you who 18 months ago thought that Sarkozy would be a breath of fresh air (which I never thought eh would) here's the same old Gaullist in sheep's clothing and platform heels.
Rocket,
From the article:
//During Nato's 60th birthday summit, Mr Sarkozy is expected to announce that France is rejoining the Alliance's military command structure, securing two senior command posts and ending General Charles de Gaulle's withdrawal of French forces in 1966.//
I really don't see much need. They really haven't been missed. In fact, when I was stationed in Germany 30 years ago, it was nice to only have to deal with the French military in small numbers.
They didn't take orders too well, thought they knew everything, and really didn't know a damned thing about what we were doing. They pissed the Dutch off, as well as the Brits and the Germans, with their arrogance. They were the laughing stock of any NATO exercises, I was ever involved with. In short they were given little token missions just to keep them from screwing up the larger one.
(I know it sounds mean to say this, but it's true.)
Hi
Don't worry about what you say concerning the French.
My father worked for NATO in the sixties and came to Paris about 3 times a year (before being booted out)as well as going to other NATO capitals. Although being a civilian he was in charge of military inventory. His Department was known as DSA or Defense Supply Inventory. Even though he never really explained his job as a lot of it was top secret he did explain that the French always insisted on speaking in French in all NATO meetings and that in general they were just plain difficult to work with.
Uh... Duh...Hello!
Unfortunately I believe they will be reintegrated into the military command and then the fun will begin.
I really see no point in their reintegration. They have always wanted to go it alone so let them go it alone. They will kick and scream until they get some top commandment posts as the rest of the world hasn't quite yet learned to stand up to this kind of behavior and really hasn't learned how to say no.
The best second hand weapons are the ones that came from the French. They were never fired and only dropped once.
