Did he bring Zidane with him?
After all he may have to do some head butting.

The international Hizbullah rescue operation is now in gear.
Once again, the towelheads will get cover from the hideous "international communtity".
Israel is digging it's own grave by agreeing to a ceasefire,

They have to protect their weapons they sold to Hezbollah I guess.

To plant trees so that the Iranians can march in under the shade of the trees?

I hope the wash from the helicopter blades didn't mess up his hair.

I posted this in another thread today:
Villepin is a joke. Nicolas Sarkozy, the Interior Minister and the probable center-right candidate for president next year, has said on French TV that Hezbollah is the aggressor in this conflict. He said that Israel must defend herself and has the right to defend herself, although he cautioned them to keep their cool and react proportionately.
He also said: the irresponsible behavior of Hezbollah is leading to the breakup of the Lebanese state; Lebanon must be rid of outside influences; Iran has further isolated itself from the international community; there are more than just suspicions about the links between Hezbollah and Iran; and he fears that it's not just Iran that is involved. (The quotes may seem a bit disjointed since the article didn't also provide the questions posed for context.)
I don't have it in English but the French article is here: http://permanent.nouvelobs.com/politique/20060716.FAP9621.html
It may not be much, but he says a lot more than Chirac or Villepin have.

There is a ghoulish side to me that ponders the implications if one side or the other doesn't get the memo and his helicopter is shot down.

CNN just showed a portion of de Villepin's press conference with Lebanon's prime minister from an Arab television report.
de Villepin's interpreter was a female standing between them, leaning forward and showing a lot of cleavage. The Arab cameraman then tried to zoom in on the Lebanese guy to get boobs out of the picture - but they kept coming back. LOL.

I thought Israel would have to push into Lebanon before France surrendered.
What is their foreign policy, preemptive surrender?
