i believe the french are entirely self serving,as has been proven many times with their actions in the EU(asylum,beef,etc etc etc).

I would say the CAP (Common Agricultural Policy) is the best example - but who really want to give up easy money. Strassburg is another example. Sometimes I wish the other members could kick France out of the EU [img]smile.gif[/img]

they are led by a morally corrupt leader,the only leader in europe to have met saddam.

they are led by a man who has described saddam as "a friend" .

When exactly? - timing is everything as Donald Rumsfeld can testify to

they are led by a man who would now be in prison if he had not conjured up his own court to keep him out of prison due to his corruption as mayor.
|
I can't remember when he did that conjuring-trick
.He has avoided all talk of a trial due to his Presidential immunity - f.x. has he been able to avoid answering the questions of an investigating judge. Still - innocent until proven guilty - right

they are led by a man who,when no-one else would,agreed to help saddam build a nuclear power station which thankfully the israelis blew up
|
It's hard to say no to a few billion in exports - but building a nuclear reactor in Iraq was a mistike - seen with 20/20 hindsight

they are led by a man who invites another murderous dictator to france,against the wishes of all of europe,and shakes his hand,Robert Mugabe
+
they are led by a man who threatened to veto any future EU travel bans unless Robert Mugabe was allowed to travel to france to attend a summit.
|
Robert Mugabe was invited because the other African leaders threathed to boycott the event if he wasn't invited - and his welcome by Chirac was noticebly 'colder' than the other leaders who were kissed on the cheek.

they are led by a man who has said "no matter what" they will veto a second resolution,although they fully signed up to 1441 which does have the proviso of military action,that is grade A french diplomacy right there for you.
|
1441 doesn't have a provision for war - IIRC it speaks of 'serious consequences'. IIRC (again) all previous resolutions which authorized force used the phrase 'By all means necessary'.

having the opinion that the impending war is un-nessesary is a valid one,not one that i agree with,but a valid one nonetheless.im sure there are many french men and women who believe that war is the only way to depose saddam,and should happen,after all,he's already killed 500,00 of his own people
|
yes around 10% or so in France support the war
