Whereas the US Federal Government was infatuated with Sarkozy until May 2008;
Whereas the Heritage Foundation did not condemn Sarkozy as an anti-American until March 1st 2008;
Whereas several AT columnists (JR Dunn, Bruce Walker, and James Lewis), are still enamoured by Sarkozy;
Whereas Melanie Morgan and Kyle-Anne Shiver have also praised him undeservedly;
Whereas Sarkozy is the world’s #1 terrorist supporter (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/7505157.stm);
I, Zbigniew Mazurak, have condemned Sarkozy as an enemy of the US as early as August 2007.
If you need any reason to stick to me, this is such a reason. I have spotted this foe of the US, this viciously anti-American socialist, long before others did.
The long list of people who are still infatuated with Sarkozy (just like many Americans are infatuated with Obama), i.e. Sarkozy’s fans, includes Bruce Walker, James Lewis, Thomas Lifson, JR Dunn, and Melanie Morgan. The list of people who have been infatuated with Sarkozy some time ago includes the Heritage Foundation’s members and myself.
A relevant timeline:
August 2007 – I have warned of Sarkozy for the first time.
November 2nd, 2007 – Kyle-Anne Shiver, one of AT’s most frequent contributors, has written this – however, she has later said (when asked by me) that the article praised Sarkozy only because he has politely refused to answer Leslie Stahl’s question about Sarkozy’s ex-wife. She also called me an ‘expert on Sarkozy’.
November 5th, 2007 – Nile Gardiner of the Heritage Foundation has written this – Gardiner claimed that an Entente Cordiale was formed, even though the Franco-American alliance doesn’t exist.
January 1st, 2008 – Bruce Walker, an AT columnist, wrote this article.
He has wrongly praised Sarkozy and Merkel as ‘pro-American conservatives’.
March 1st, 2008 – Nile Gardiner has joined me and other Sarkozy critics (there aren’t many of us, so he’s welcome) – he has published an article which was a stern damnation of the 23rd French President.
Mr Gardiner wrote:
The only European countries that have significantly stepped up to the plate in the war zone are Poland and the Netherlands.
Germany, France, Turkey, Italy and Spain have all rejected calls to send their own soldiers to support British and Canadian forces in the south, on the grounds that the situation is too dangerous and that they are ‘overstretched.’
Most European contingents in Afghanistan continue to operate under up to 70 disgraceful ‘caveats,’ drawn up by their governments, designed to keep them out of harm’s way.
Major European Union countries such as Germany and France are in effect deploying an army of toy soldiers in Afghanistan, commanded by a mollycoddled political elite petrified of the public reaction to troop casualties. It is a sorry spectacle that makes a mockery of Europe’s professed commitment to the war on terror. It is ironic that many of the same countries that condemned America’s decision to liberate Iraq, claiming that it was a distraction from the securing of Afghanistan, are now refusing to pull their weight in the battle to keep the country free.
March 21st, 2008 – Nile Gardiner has published yet another commentary on Sarkozy, one which has damnated him just like the previous one: http://www.heritage.org/Press/Commentary/ed032108a.cfm
April 7th, 2008 – Melanie Morgan has claimed that Sarkozy is pro-American.
May 2nd, 2008 – Nile Gardiner admitted that neither Merkel nor Sarkozy are pro-American conservatives. However, he didn’t admit that he earlier claimed that Merkel and Sarkozy were allies of the American nation.
May 4th, 2008 – Bruce Walker wrote this article which was flawed like the previous one.
May 7th, 2008 – Nile Gardiner has published yet another article critical of Sarkozy.
May 20th, 2008 – CBS and the Dubya administration have joined us Sarkozy critics, and have reported that the Sarkozy administration has admitted that it is negotiating with Hamas.
May 21st, 2008 – Just a day after the Sarkozy administration has admitted that it’s negotiating with an anti-American Islamic terrorist organisation, JR Dunn has stated that Sarkozy is pro-American.
This doesn’t mean that Sarkozy’s fans are morons. But you should note that there are people who are infatuated with a French terrorist appeaser, and that there are conservatives like me, who have dared to name him an evil man.
