The Fox, an intelligent yuropian-hunter

Just a little quote from FOX news, which claims to be "Fair and balanced"

Bill O'Reilly "interviews" Charles Kupchan, professor International Relations at Georgetown University about why France doesn't want to send NATO troops to Afghanistan but EU troops instead:

FOXNews.com - The O'Reilly Factor - Interview - France Is At It Again: Hurting America's War on Terror:

"O'REILLY: Isn't the reason he [Chirac] doesn't do that in Afghanistan and Iraq and gives us a problem whenever we try to provide security for new governments because he doesn't like Bush? It's simple as that. It's personal. He doesn't like the Bush administration; he wants to embarrass America?

Professor, I've got 10 separate incidents in the last year-and-a-half right here, 10, where the French have either lied to the United States or embarrassed us unnecessarily because they disagree with our policy. Isn't that the truth?"

I know FOX news is bad stuff, but has he been smoking George Bush' after-a-public-speech-socks or what?
