US Congress opts for "freedom fries"

Big Ears

In response to Irish forces not being in Iraq .

The majority of Irish forces are already deployed with the UN for peacekeeping and in Ireland itself for obvious reason's . Ireland dosent have a lot of troops but u think we should pull out the troops we have working with the UN and send them to Iraq . Although If the UN was for the war in Iraq there is a high chance there would be Irish troops over there .

As for Europe not supporting the war , u must have forgotten the following countries are in Europe : . England , Scotland , Wales , Northern Ireland , ukraine , Spain , Poland , Turkey , Italy . Theres more but im sleepy and cant remember them all .

So chill do some research before u start blaming any1 .

Anyway since the potatos don't come from France and since McDonalds use reconstituted potato containing substances I'd reckon the French would be delighted that their name was no longer taken in vain.

BTW: the Hagen Das name was picked at random out of a telephone directory..

Neal Rowland, who owns Cubbie's in Beaufort, said the switch from french fries to freedom fries came to mind after a conversation about World War I days when anti-German sentiment prompted Americans to rename familiar German foods like sauerkraut and frankfurter to liberty cabbage and hot dog.

liberty cabbage more like liberty cabbages

So.. They were invented in Belgium, and the american troops there thought they were in france or the verb "frence" means to cut..
