By language of diplomacy", Spence is politely saying it's the language of surrender.

Back in the very early stages of the First Gulf War, at one point, the French decided they were sitting it out. A reporter asked General Norman Schwartzkoff what he thought of moving ahead without the French.

I will never, ever forget his reply..."going to war without the French, is like going deer hunting without your accordian."

Never took French in school, what for? Only thing I remember about the French language was Je me rends, permet de negocier , and Patton's quote, "Id rather have a German Division in front of me then a French one behind me."
Not that as an "ugly American" I don't like the French. LOL
