The French have rejoined NATO:
PARIS — President Nicolas Sarkozy announced Wednesday that France intends to become a full member of NATO, 43 years after Charles de Gaulle pulled France out of the alliance’s military command and threw NATO, and American forces, out of the country.
“Because it is in her interest and because it is her choice, France will take her full place, that of an ally both free and in solidarity, independent but engaged, a country that assumes all its responsibilities, everywhere and speaking to everyone, at the service of our values and of peace,” Mr. Sarkozy said.
So, how soon before we surrender ?

Reminds me of the great song “Heroes” by Jill Sobule (about how you end up finding out that all those great people were really kind of bastards).
Anyway, the verse:
“Heard Babe Ruth was full of malice,
Lewis Carrol I’m sure did Alice.
Plato in the cave…with those very young boys.
T.S. Elliot hated the Jews.
FDR didn’t save the Jews.
All the French joined the resistance…after the war.”
