I have never heard the story. BTW Chirac is still alive. Perhaps you mean when he was got defeated by Sarkozy?
Yes, you are right about Chirac. I was probably thinking about when I heard the story related using a different leader’s name. The story has been floating around since before Bush’s second term.
Actually, after tooling around the internet and trying to find it, what I am remembering is the similar story that the libs have been circulating for many years about what Bush supposedly told Abu Mazen... That God told him to strike Iraq. It’s the same sort of derranged liberal mindset.
